Tremella is a commonly used medicinal material in daily life. People often use it to make desserts. Tremella is not only rich in nutrients, but also has the effects of promoting blood circulation and quenching thirst. So, can people with high blood sugar eat Tremella?
Can people with high blood sugar eat Tremella?
They can eat it in moderation.
Tremella, also known as peach gum or peach blossom tears, is a blood-circulating medicinal material that has the effects of quenching thirst and promoting diuresis. It is suitable for symptoms such as urinary calculi, hematuria, and dysentery. High blood sugar is related to insulin deficiency and abnormal sugar metabolism. It can be controlled by dietary regulation. Although Tremella contains a certain amount of sugar, eating it in moderation will not cause blood sugar to rise.
Can eating too much Tremella cause diabetes?
It won't.
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar levels. Genetic factors and environmental factors are the main causes. Overeating and lack of physical activity leading to obesity are the main environmental factors for type 2 diabetes.
Tremella mainly consists of various monosaccharide polymers and unsaturated fatty acids, which can increase the monosaccharide content and unsaturated fatty acid content in the blood to a certain extent, thus controlling blood sugar and assisting in lowering blood lipids. Therefore, diabetes patients can eat Tremella. However, it should be noted that excessive sugar added to Tremella may cause blood sugar to rise.
Can Tremella treat diabetes?
The efficacy is limited.
Diabetes, also known as "Xiao Ke" in Chinese medicine, is commonly characterized by symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, and excessive food intake. Tremella has the effect of nourishing yin and quenching thirst, which can alleviate the discomfort caused by diabetes. Although Tremella can assist in lowering blood sugar and blood lipids, it cannot cure diabetes. Diabetes patients should follow the doctor's guidance for medication treatment, as well as control their diet and maintain appropriate exercise.
