Drinking morning tea is more than just drinking tea.

And played the role of breakfast.

Many old people

Even spend every morning in the teahouse.

Some people chat, accompanied by delicious food and fragrant tea.

What could be happier than this?

However, drinking morning tea also has disadvantages.

That is-easy to eat more.

Especially for diabetics.

Drinking morning tea is easy for blood sugar to soar.

So, how should we have breakfast in the teahouse?

Expert introduction:

Shi, deputy director of the Department of Geriatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University; Doctor of Cardiovascular Medicine, Deputy Chief Physician; National health manager. He is good at comprehensive treatment of hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease, nutritional treatment and health management for the elderly, and has been engaged in related work for more than 0 years/kloc-0.

Drinking morning tea is more prone to blood sugar fluctuations than eating at home.

Shi, deputy director and deputy chief physician of the Department of Geriatrics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, pointed out that drinking morning tea is not only for eating, but also for social functions. Especially for retired people, it is a good opportunity to communicate with the society and is good for physical and mental health, so doctors recommend it. However, drinking morning tea generally takes a long time, and chatting with people is more appetizing and easy to eat more, especially for diabetic patients who need to control their diet.

Shi pointed out that, like most breakfasts in China, Cantonese morning tea mainly consists of porridge, noodles and rice, and there are many snacks, most of which are carbohydrate foods that have a great influence on blood sugar, which are not "friendly" to diabetics. Therefore, drinking morning tea is more prone to blood sugar fluctuations than eating breakfast at home.

Many sugar friends have controlled their diet and dare not eat or touch it in the teahouse. Why does blood sugar soar?

Does the picture below feel deja vu?

This is a common way for people to drink morning tea.

-One fried powder (staple food), one boat porridge (staple food), two snacks (staple food with sugar), one chicken feet, one louver (protein), one clear soup, and no vegetables.

The carbohydrate in this common morning tea recipe exceeds the standard. Protein is not much, without vitamins and cellulose, and its glycemic index is high.

Four common misunderstandings about drinking tea with sugar friends

In fact, there are many "traps" in refreshments, which will cause blood sugar fluctuations. Shi Yingyong summed up the common misunderstandings of the following four sugar friends drinking morning tea to see if you have been recruited!

1. Excessive staple food

In teahouses, the most common misunderstanding is that there are too many staple foods. Cantonese refreshments are mainly composed of porridge, noodles, noodles and rice. Many snacks such as barbecued pork buns and quicksand buns, jiaozi such as shrimp dumplings, fragrant dumplings and leek jiaozi, and cakes such as Matt cakes, Melaleuca cakes and spicy cakes are actually staple foods. Many people repeat the staple food when ordering. Although they only eat two refreshments, they are all carbohydrates, which will definitely lead to soaring blood sugar.

Eat sugary snacks

Sugar friends can generally avoid eating sugary snacks at home, but it is difficult to avoid drinking tea in teahouses. Even if sugar friends don't order it themselves, people at the same table may order it. Attention, sugar friends, it's time to test self-control. At this time, you must hold on!

3. Excessive total intake

This is a common problem of eating out, not just drinking morning tea. Because restaurants and teahouses generally make dishes more delicious to attract diners, oil, salt and spices will naturally increase, which will make people's appetite open, but it is also easy to raise blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipids. Sugar friends should pay attention to controlling the total amount when placing an order.

4. Reluctant to waste

It's much easier to eat out, especially if you eat out alone. One snack is too monotonous, and two snacks may be too much. At this time, many people, especially the elderly, are afraid of waste, so they will eat passively. But sugar friends must pay attention to it, and don't eat any more when you are seven points full. If they are afraid of wasting, they can pack the remaining snacks.

Experts teach sugar lovers how to order food scientifically in online teahouses.

When sugar friends go to drink tea, they should have an imaginary standard plate in mind, so it is easy to control the total amount and balance nutrition when ordering.

Tip: the staple food is calculated according to the number of people.

Staple food has the greatest influence on blood sugar, and it is also the easiest to drink more when drinking morning tea, so pay attention when ordering food; Steamed pork ribs, steamed dumplings, shrimp dumplings, eggs, bean products and other snacks with high protein content are recommended, and sugary snacks, such as various steamed buns and cakes, should be selected as little as possible, and staple foods such as porridge, noodles and rice should also be controlled in one serving.

One person: a glass of two.

Take a person as an example. As the saying goes, "two pieces for a cup", the total amount will not exceed: a dish, a sparerib (or steamed eggs), and then choose a favorite staple food, wheat buns or rice rolls. Stir-fried powder, rice porridge and various snacks are not recommended.

When ordering food, order the necessary vegetables and meat first, and then order a staple food, so it won't be too much.

Two people:

One vegetable, one meat, one egg or bean, one or two staple foods.

By analogy, the breakfast for three people includes a vegetable, a meat, an egg, a bean and three favorite staple foods.

Generally speaking, everyone should eat an egg, meat, bean products and vegetables with the staple food no larger than the size of his fist as the standard.

Ordering food scientifically is naturally not easy to eat too much, and blood sugar will not fluctuate greatly.

Summary:

Sugar friends want blood sugar to be stable, and the most important thing is to quantify the staple food. You can't eat without eating, and you can't eat too much.

Protein is to increase nutrition and enhance satiety, so breakfast is essential.

Vegetables and fruits supplement vitamins and cellulose, each with its own functions. Vegetables can't be less for breakfast, and fruits can be eaten as appropriate.

Pay attention to chew slowly when eating, tea can be done, but pay more attention to daily breakfast.
