Through cooking, finally, because of starch, the rice swells with water, and all of them gather together, and finally wait for people to eat, and then digest and absorb it in the stomach, thus supplying the body with heat. However, a large number of studies show that regular consumption will increase the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Therefore, it is suggested that healthy people and patients with chronic diseases eat more whole grains, among which black rice is a good choice. Some people say that eating black rice can lower blood sugar.
Chinese medicine believes that black rice enters the kidney and has the theory of tonifying the kidney. Later, it was proved in modern nutrition that black rice can not tonify kidney and lower blood sugar, but for diabetics, there are several major effects that should not be missed:
Black rice is an "antioxidant";
Compared with rice, the overall nutritional value of black rice is higher than that of rice, and it is rich in anthocyanins, which is called "antioxidant" in the field of nutrition. Related experiments have found that it has the advantages of anti-oxidation, delaying aging and reducing low-density lipoprotein in blood.
Although further research is needed in the future, it is beneficial for diabetic patients to eat some whole grain ingredients in moderation to protect cardiovascular health and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Black rice has a positive effect on delaying postprandial blood sugar;
Clinically, for diabetic patients, in order to better control their food intake per meal, eating five meals a day is more conducive to controlling postprandial blood sugar than eating three meals a day. You can choose yogurt, milk, corn and so on.
The staple food for dinner can be paired with black rice, which is a kind of non-glutinous rice. Compared with other whole grains, black rice is more chewy and rich in dietary fiber. This nutrient has water absorption, which can increase the gastrointestinal volume after reaching the stomach, thus achieving the purpose of reducing food intake and stabilizing postprandial blood sugar.
Black rice has a low glycemic index and is suitable for people with hyperglycemia;
The glycemic index of black rice is 42, and there are 256 mg of potassium and 147 mg of magnesium per 100 g of black rice, which is not only suitable for diabetic patients with hyperglycemia, but also suitable for hypertensive people. Eating a proper amount of potassium-supplementing food every day is conducive to discharging excess sodium ions from the body and stabilizing the balance of sodium and potassium in the body.
In the way of eating, the best way is to eat miscellaneous grains rice, in which adding black rice can realize food diversity. If you eat black rice porridge, diabetics should pay attention to the cooking time, and don't cook it for too long. If it is too soft and rotten, it is not conducive to the speed of blood sugar decomposition, which may be unfavorable to blood sugar level.
