1, diabetics can eat figs.
In addition to active treatment, diabetic patients are very important in diet. Because many delicious foods contain sugar, it is easy to cause the blood sugar of diabetic patients to rise, so these problems must not be ignored in diet.
According to traditional medicine, Ficus carica has the functions of invigorating spleen and stopping diarrhea, clearing intestine and clearing heat, regulating qi and promoting digestion, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, benefiting lung and promoting lactation, reducing swelling and detoxifying, and is mainly used for treating enteritis, dysentery, dyspepsia, anorexia, constipation, jaundice, sore throat and hemorrhoids.
Therefore, fig is a good diet. Figs have no toxic side effects, and can also help digestion and enhance cell metabolism. Patients with hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, chronic cough, asthma, hypertension and tumor should eat it often.
Experts say that diabetics can eat some figs in moderation:
1. Ficus carica is an alkaline food, and diabetes is caused by acidic constitution. Eating a small amount of alkaline food is good for diabetics.
2. Ficus carica is a kind of high-fiber fruit, which is rich in acids and enzymes. It is very beneficial to diabetic patients and has a significant effect on eliminating fatigue, improving human immunity and restoring physical fitness.
3. Ficus carica contains lipase, hydrolase and other components that can decompose fat, thus reducing the deposition of fat in blood vessels, stabilizing blood pressure and preventing coronary heart disease.
Figs can be made into soup with melon and kelp. This soup has the effects of diuresis, detumescence, lowering blood sugar and tonifying kidney, and is suitable for adjuvant diet therapy for patients with early diabetic nephropathy.
2. Dietary preventive measures for diabetic patients
1 First of all, diabetics are forbidden to eat sweets and various fruits, because glucose and sucrose are digested and absorbed quickly, and eating them will increase blood sugar; Also eat less foods with high carbohydrate content, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes and lotus roots. It's best not to drink either.
2. People with diabetes can eat more high-fiber foods and promote the body's sugar metabolism. Such as corn, wheat, Chinese cabbage, leek, bean products, etc.
3. Vegetables with low sugar content. Such as leek, zucchini, wax gourd, pumpkin, green vegetables, green peppers, eggplant and so on. Tomatoes, on the other hand, have low sugar content and can be used as both vegetables and fruits.
4. Eat more foods containing calcium. Calcium deficiency will aggravate the condition of diabetic patients. Such as shrimp skin, kelp, ribs, sesame sauce, soybeans, milk and so on.
5. Foods rich in selenium. Selenium has the same physiological activity as insulin in regulating glucose metabolism. Such as fish, mushrooms, sesame, garlic, mustard and so on.
6. Foods rich in vitamin B and vitamin C. Supplementing these two elements is beneficial to slow down the process of diabetic complications and reduce diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. Such as fish, milk, cabbage, beans, vegetables, mustard greens, kale, green peppers, fresh dates and so on.
Diet therapy is the most basic treatment for diabetes. If you control it well, you can live a normal life. Therefore, the dietary precautions of diabetic patients are issues that every diabetic should pay attention to.
3, the cause of diabetes
1, genetic gene
The results show that polygene inheritance is the main genetic mode of diabetes in China.
2. Environmental factors
There are many factors that promote the elderly with genetic basis to develop diabetes.
3. Insulin causes
When the human body is gradually aging, the total amount of insulin has a certain level, but the proinsulin is relatively increased. The inhibitory activity of human proinsulin on hepatic glucose production is only110 of insulin. Under the same basic state, the total proinsulin secretion of young people is the same as that of the elderly. However, after glucose load, the detectable proinsulin in blood circulation is 22% in the elderly, but only 15% in the young, which may be one of the reasons for the increase of diabetes in the elderly.
4. Basic metabolic factors
In the process of human aging, the basal metabolic rate gradually decreases, the metabolism of tissues at all levels involved in human activities, especially muscles, decreases, and the body's ability to use glucose decreases.
5, human tissue change factors
In the process of human aging, even if people are not overweight, the ratio of body tissue, that is, muscle to fat, is changing due to the decrease of physical activity, and the relative increase of fat will reduce insulin sensitivity.
