1. Reasons why diabetics can't eat clams.
Health experts believe that clams (sand clams, sea clams, meretrix meretrix) are cold and cool foods (tip: food can be simply divided into five attributes: coldness, coolness, warmth, and flatness). Cold and cool foods are pharmacologically negative, and have the effects of clearing away heat, purging fire, cooling blood and detoxifying, and are mostly suitable for heat-related diseases. However, some diabetic patients belong to the constitution of yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency or phlegm-dampness (tip: the human body can be simply divided into six diseases-prone constitutions: yin deficiency constitution, yang deficiency constitution, qi and blood deficiency constitution, phlegm-dampness constitution, blood stasis constitution and qi stagnation constitution). People with yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency or phlegm-dampness constitution are afraid of "cold" diseases such as cold, indigestion or puffiness, and they all avoid cold and cool foods, so the coldness of clams (clam, clam and clam) just contributes to the "cold" diseases in diabetic patients.
2. What are the cold foods?
Such as chrysanthemum brain, duck meat, cormorant meat, eel, rock sugar (slightly cold), otter meat, straw mushroom, octopus, lettuce, celery, horse meat, winter melon seeds, plantain seeds, mung beans and their products, fingered citron and so on. These cold foods are not allowed for diabetics.
3. What can diabetics eat?
People with yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency or phlegm-dampness constitution mentioned above may suffer from diabetes, and it can be seen from their constitutions that they are suitable for eating warm food (tip warm food: pharmacologically speaking, it has the functions of warming middle warmer, helping yang and dispelling cold, and is often used for cold diseases). Eating more warm food can reduce the burden on the body. So people with diabetes can eat warm food.
Next, let's talk about the influence of flat food on diabetes. Compared with a kind of food with cold and warm properties, flat food is not obvious in cold and hot properties, and it is relatively peaceful and suitable for all kinds of people, so many flat foods are still suitable for diabetic patients. Such as Potentilla discolor, bitter gourd (cooked), watermelon seed, jute, yam, green vegetables, cabbage, grapes, Rosa davurica, Potatoes, peanut oil, Fructus Amomi, plums and pumpkin seeds.
