In recent years, medical experts and scholars at home and abroad research experiments show that eating pumpkin also has the role of treating prostate hypertrophy, preventing prostate cancer, preventing and controlling arteriosclerosis and gastric mucosal ulcers, treating diabetes, and turning stones. Pumpkin sugar-lowering mechanism is to contain a large amount of pectin cellulose, and starchy food mix, will improve the viscosity of the stomach contents, and regulate the degree of absorption of food in the stomach, so that the absorption of sugar to slow down, thus delaying the gastric emptying time, and change the intestinal peristalsis speed, so that the blood glucose after meals do not rise too fast. At the same time pectin cellulose in the intestinal tract to form a gel-like substance, so that digestive enzymes and carbohydrates can be evenly mixed, delaying the intestinal digestion and absorption of monosaccharide substances, thereby reducing blood sugar.

In recent years, pumpkin powder against diabetes has been recognized at home and abroad. Researchers have confirmed that after taking pumpkin powder, 70% of type II diabetes patients 90% of the phenomenon of blood glucose reduction, indicating that pumpkin powder has a hypoglycemic and elevated insulin effect. Pumpkin powder is how to combat diabetes? Over the years, many scientists are committed to pumpkin diabetes prevention and treatment of functional factors, pointed out that pumpkin diabetes prevention and treatment of several ingredients *** with the role of the realization, rather than a single component of the results. Pumpkin contains CYT, can promote the normal secretion of insulin, enhance the sensitivity of insulin receptors, at the same time can activate glucoamylase, accelerate the conversion of glucose, reduce blood glucose concentration. Pumpkin is rich in pectin, which can reduce the secretion of gastrointestinal hormone "gastric inhibitory polypeptide", so that the postprandial blood glucose and blood insulin levels drop; at the same time, pectin has a satiating effect, which can improve the patient's hunger. Various trace elements, vitamins also play an important role in controlling blood glucose, can make the body insulin bioactivity decreased. Pumpkin chromium content is 50 times higher than the average food.

According to the newspaper, Japan's Hokkaido has a Yubari village, where people, rich or poor, all to pumpkin as the main food, almost no one suffering from diabetes. Japanese endocrinologist Dr. Yamamoto after investigation and research, and do clinical trials, to hospitalized patients with diabetes each day to eat 100 to 500 grams of pumpkin. 1 month later, all the subjects of blood sugar have different degrees of reduction, some even miraculously out of the hospital.

Modern pharmacological research results point out that onion has a good hypoglycemic effect. Onion contains similar hypoglycemic drugs "methylsulfonylurea" substances, can selectively act on the pancreatic islet B-cells, promote insulin secretion, restore its compensatory function. According to the U.S. "Medical World News" reported that the onion extract can make tetracosactide-induced diabetes in rabbits with significant reduction in blood glucose value. Application of ethanol extract caused the greatest decrease in fasting blood glucose and suggested that onions work by helping cells to better utilize glucose. Onion has an antidiabetic effect on adrenergic hyperglycemia. For middle-aged and elderly patients with type II diabetes, onion also has the effect of combating diabetes combined with hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

According to Japanese research, onions have a high insulin effect and handle glucose in the blood well.

(1) The flavor of onion can lower the blood glucose value. Onions and garlic belong to the onion class, onion plants can lower the blood glucose value, of which onions lower the blood glucose effect is the best, if you cut the onion, there is a unique taste pungent, in fact, those flavors have the effect of lowering the blood glucose value, the role of insulin is to open the blood glucose into the cells of the door of the key to the flavor of onions, which happens to improve the efficiency of the work of the insulin, do not allow glucose to enter the cells.

(2) It has the effect of preventing the dreaded diabetic complications. There was a doctor did such an experiment, let 8 patients will be 20 onion dried pills and medicine together every day, observe 4 weeks blood glucose value and hemoglobin A, C value. The results of the experiment, 1 / 5 of the people's blood glucose and hemoglobin A, C values decreased. If the hemoglobin A, C values fell, the probability of complications caused by diabetes is less, onions can not only lower blood sugar, but also prevent diabetes complications.

(3) do not worry about hypoglycemia onions have no effect on normal blood glucose values, only useful for abnormal high blood glucose, so do not have to worry about causing high blood glucose or what side effects, etc.. Therefore, onions, not only for diabetics, but also for people to prevent diabetes.

(4) also has a role in the prevention of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis. Onion contains prostaglandin-like substances and can activate blood fibrinolytic enzyme activity components, these substances can expand blood vessels, reduce peripheral vascular and coronary artery resistance of the heart, and has an anticoagulant effect, to prevent the formation of thrombosis, against the body of catecholamines and other blood pressure-raising substances, which can make the blood pressure drop. So onions are particularly beneficial to diabetes with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and heart disease.

Modern nutritional medicine research data show that the quality of silver fungus protein is very high, containing more than 17 kinds of amino acids, of which 7 are essential amino acids. Silver fungus also contains glucuronic acid, silver fungus polysaccharide, polypentose and coenzyme Q10, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin c and calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, iron and other mineral elements. It is worth mentioning that every 100 grams of dried silver fungus food containing dietary fiber up to 30.4 grams, and contains potassium is quite high, its K factor (i.e., potassium / sodium value) & gt; 19, is a high potassium food. Clinical epidemiological studies have found that diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerotic diseases and hypertension occur, are related to inadequate intake of dietary fiber. Silver Fungus contains a high amount of dietary fiber and is rich in gelatin. Preliminary studies have shown that supplementation with colloids at a dose of approximately 1.3 g/0.42 kJ has been shown to have a hypoglycemic effect in both metabolic research laboratories and outpatient follow-up. In some patients, insulin dosage was reduced by an average of 26% over a 6-month follow-up period; based on the average number of urine glucose concentrations checked 4 times a day*** for 1 week, urine glucose was reduced by about 40%; similar effects were also seen in patients with insulin-dependent (type I) diabetes mellitus. It can be seen that the middle-aged and elderly type II (that is, non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus patients, often eat silver fungus or eat silver fungus prepared meals, will help lower blood sugar and effective control of the condition, and diabetes mellitus complication of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other conditions also have a better prevention and treatment effects.

Each 10 to 30 grams, water soup, stewed or fried food can be.

13. kelp kelp, seaweed, seaweed and other synonyms, the plant lives in seawater, flexible and long, some such as tape, so there are many names. Kelp is an edible algae, not only for food, but also has a high medicinal value. Kelp is cold, salty and non-toxic, with the effect of softening, dispersing knots, moving water and resolving silt. Modern nutritional medicine research data show that kelp contains iodine, calcium, iron, also contains phosphorus, cobalt, fluorine, potassium, zinc and other mineral elements, and contains a large amount of crude fiber and polysaccharide components, such as phytochelatins, kombuchins, mannitol, and fucosterol, ryegrass lactone, pentosan, galactose, galacturonic acid, arabinose, xylose, O-methyl xylose, coriander sugar and so on. Kelp has a component called sodium fucoidan, which can make diabetics more sensitive to insulin, fasting blood glucose drops, sugar tolerance is improved, and high-carbohydrate dietary treatment requirements are met. Modern medical research found that every 100 grams of dried kelp food part of the iodine content of up to 24 mg, while the average adult daily about 0.15 mg to meet the needs of the kelp iodine content of high in the food alone, people call it "iodine champion". In recent years, medical research reports suggest that organic iodine has a hormone-like effect, can improve the function of biologically active substances in the body, can promote the secretion of insulin and adrenocorticotropic hormone, improve the activity of lipoprotein esterase, promote the metabolism and use of glucose and fatty acids in the liver, adipose and muscle tissues, so as to play a role in lowering blood glucose, lowering the role of blood lipids and lowering blood pressure, anti-atherosclerosis effect. Moreover, every 100 grams of kelp contains 348 milligrams of body-available bound calcium, and medical research reports indicate that elemental calcium is closely related to diabetic complications. Foreign experts have reported in detail on diabetes complicating osteoporosis, and collected evidence that diabetes can cause mineral metabolism disorders in the body and a decrease in the inorganic salt content in the bones. After 2 to 3 years of diabetes, the reduction of calcium in bone becomes obvious, and osteoporosis in diabetics with a disease duration shorter than 5 years can be as severe as in long-term diabetics. Therefore, experts call, in the treatment of diabetes, should be timely supplementation of calcium and the appropriate amount of vitamin D. Such as according to the adult daily needs of 0.6 ~ 0.8 grams of calcium calculation, should be strongly advocated from the dietary supplements to all types of diabetic patients, often take kelp with food, medicinal diets, and the consumption of kelp preparations or food, is of great benefit. But there is a point to note, Chinese medicine, kelp such seafood are cold and slippery, cold spleen and stomach and loose solid should not be taken.

14. Loofah is a wonderful summer season vegetables, loofah when the old tendons woven, criss-cross, like the human meridian, so called "loofah". Luffa is not only low-fat, low-calorie, low-sugar high-potassium food (K factor & gt; 44), per 100g of luffa containing vitamin C8mg, vitamin A0.32mg, vitamin B20.06mg, vitamin B10.04mg, but also contains calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and other inorganic salts, and proteins, starch, carotene and so on. The juice of loofah contains saponins, mucus, xylan and protein, fat, a variety of vitamins. The fruit of loofah contains saponins, loofah bitter quality, citrulline and a lot of mucus. Loofah is sweet and cool in nature, belonging to the liver, stomach meridian, have clear heat and phlegm, cool blood detoxification, through the meridian, blood line, moist muscle beauty, breast, laxative and other efficacy. Loofah, the Ming Dynasty Li Shizhen "Compendium of Materia Medica" day: "boiled food in addition to heat to benefit the intestines." Lu Chuan Materia Medica: "Shengjin quench thirst, quench summer heat in addition to annoyance. Cure fever and thirst, body heat and irritability." "Introduction to Medicine" on: "Treatment of all malignant sores of men and women, children's pox and rash residual poison, and breast gangrene, healing sores." Regular consumption of loofah can treat dry heat injury to the lungs, stomach dryness and fluid injury type diabetes, especially for middle-aged and elderly type II diabetes combined with hypertension or skin disease patients.

15. chili pepper capsaicin in chili peppers can significantly reduce blood sugar levels. In an experiment with dogs, it was found that two hours after the sugar effect, the blood sugar level of dogs taking capsaicin was significantly lower than that of experimental dogs not taking capsaicin. Insulin levels in dogs measured two and a half hours after taking capsaicin were, again, somewhat higher. It is possible that capsaicin increased insulin production in the subgastric pancreas, or that it delayed the destruction of hormones responsible for glucose metabolism in the body.

Capsaicin is now being used to treat the complications of diabetes, i.e., it is used to restore nerves damaged in what is known as diabetic neurologic (systemic) disease.

16. Hollow cabbage is water spinach. Its disease-resistant, insect-resistant ability is very strong, the growth process does not require spraying pesticides, for the recent years, highly respected "safe vegetables" and "green food".
