With the improvement of people's living standards, the choices on the dining table have become increasingly diverse. At the same time, the number of people suffering from "affluence diseases" caused by overeating has also increased. Data shows that the number of people with high blood sugar and diabetes in China has reached nearly 100 million, indicating that blood sugar problems have become a significant threat to our health.
With the enhancement of people's health consciousness, more and more people realize that eating high-protein, high-fat foods without restraint can cause great harm to our health. On the other hand, vegetables, which are inconspicuous ingredients, are excellent for health. People have also started consciously adding vegetables to their diets, hoping that they can help safeguard our health.
However, there are countless types of vegetables, each containing different nutrients, and each person's health condition is different. How to efficiently utilize the health benefits of vegetables has become a headache for many people. Today, we will recommend several vegetables that are very helpful in controlling blood sugar.
Celery
Celery contains low carbohydrates and high levels of inorganic salts and vitamins, making it an extremely healthy vegetable. In particular, the niacin it contains can improve pancreatic function, stimulate insulin secretion, and effectively lower blood sugar.
Radish
Radish has outstanding health benefits, and it has been said in China since ancient times that "radish is as good as ginseng". The nutrients it contains, such as vitamin C and radish sulfur, can effectively reduce blood sugar.
Okra
Okra's ability to lower blood sugar is also quite remarkable. The soluble dietary fiber it contains is not easily digested and absorbed by the body. It can wrap the starch molecules produced by other foods, preventing them from being broken down by starch enzymes in the intestines. When the breakdown rate of starch decreases, blood sugar levels in the body will also decrease.
Onion
Onions contain a substance called thiosulfinates, which can effectively lower blood sugar. Moreover, onions have a warm and spicy taste, and they also have the effect of improving appetite and promoting digestion. They should be eaten more.
Black fungus
Black fungus is known as the "king of vegetarian food" due to its nutritional value. It contains rich vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, and other trace elements, as well as black fungus polysaccharides, which can effectively lower blood sugar.
Chinese yam
Chinese yam is a traditional dual-use food and medicine. It contains rich nutrients such as vitamins and amino acids. Data shows that Chinese yam can effectively inhibit the increase in blood sugar caused by adrenaline and glucose, and it is very helpful in stabilizing blood sugar.
These six vegetables are very common in daily life and have a rich taste. For friends with blood sugar problems, these dietary methods should not be missed.
