Many people mistakenly believe that diabetes is caused by eating too much sugar, so long as they don't eat sweets, they won't get diabetes. In fact, diabetes may be indirectly related to eating more sugar, but it is not directly related. Many people get diabetes not because they eat too much sugar, and people who love sugar may not get diabetes.
Then why is there a direct or indirect relationship between diabetes and eating sugar? Mainly because eating a lot of sugar for a long time will lead to excess calories and obesity, and obesity is an independent risk factor for diabetes. Obesity is more likely to get diabetes than diabetes caused by eating sugar itself. In addition, the pathogenic factors of diabetes are very complicated, including genetic factors and environmental factors. Love of sugar is only one of the inducing factors in the environment at most, and it can't play a decisive role.
I would also like to remind you that the so-called "sugar" refers not only to sweets, but to all foods rich in carbohydrates, including our staple foods, such as rice, noodles and steamed bread. These fast-sugar-increasing foods should be classified as sugars and should not be eaten in large quantities.
People with diabetes should not only be wary of sweets, but some foods without sugar may also have a high sugar content. To judge the glycemic ability of a food, it is best to refer to the GI value of the glycemic index of food. You can go to the home page of Tangren Health Network and privately send the keyword "blood sugar" to automatically obtain the complete list of food blood sugar index!
Diabetes is not directly related to eating sugar! Moreover, diabetes is not eaten from sugar, but has already got diabetes. We should control the intake of monosaccharides and disaccharides.
Southerners like to eat sweets, and the energy they eat is properly controlled. According to a data survey, the proportion of southerners suffering from diabetes is not higher than that of northerners. On the contrary, northerners are higher than southerners, which fully shows that diabetes is related to bad living and eating habits.
The sugar we usually talk about is the monosaccharide or monosaccharide added in food, as well as dessert, honey and so on. Also called free sugar. These sugars need to be controlled. Eating too much can lead to obesity, which is an important risk factor for diabetes. Because when obese people, cell receptors in the body lose the recognition and reception of signals, which will lead to many hormone disorders. Secondly, obesity can also lead to insulin resistance.
Of course, the factors that lead to obesity are not only too much sugar, but also too much dietary fat and lack of physical activity.
Therefore, the prevention of diabetes mainly lies in:
1, develop good living habits and eating behavior.
2, control the whole day energy, increase physical activity, diet dynamic balance, maintain a healthy weight.
3. Relieve mental stress and maintain peace of mind.
4, avoid alcohol and tobacco
For sugar intake, it should be controlled at 25-30 grams per day and not more than 50 grams, and eat less sweets. After all, high energy will not cause obesity. Avoid high energy, high fat and high sugar intake.
