After reading books and videos on nutrition research, I found a kind of food, which was once rated as the only grain in the list of "Top Ten Healthy Foods in the World" by Time magazine, and was also recognized as a functional food for lowering cholesterol and stabilizing blood sugar by FDA. This is an ordinary oat.
Nowadays, the aging trend in China is getting more and more serious, and the number of elderly people is also growing rapidly. At the same time, there are more and more basic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes that plague middle-aged and elderly friends. If we want to nip in the bud, we should start with a basic diet. If we add a handful of oats to steamed bread every day, or replace one of the three meals with oats, we can greatly alleviate and avoid the "three highs" problem.
In fact, friends in the north are disdainful of buying noodles and steamed bread directly. They prefer to make them at home, which provides convenience for us to "add materials" when making noodles. In addition to flour, corn flour, black rice flour, purple potato flour, buckwheat flour, etc. can also be added. Make the food taste richer, and because of the addition of coarse grains, the sugar index will decrease.
In addition to coarse grains, we can also add some nutrients to flour, such as eggs and milk. As we all know, the staple food has high starch content and relatively simple nutrition. Eating noodles in one meal is difficult to meet the nutritional needs of the human body. Therefore, in the process of dough mixing, eggs and milk can be used to replace part of the water, which can not only increase the taste of steamed bread and noodles, but also help to control blood sugar.
At the same time, in order to solve the problem of insufficient intake of dietary fiber and vitamins, we can also add some vegetable juice to the dough. Vegetables have high nutritional value and can lower blood sugar. Mixing flour with vegetable juice can not only add luster to ordinary pasta, but also make up for the nutritional deficiency of staple food.
