Nutrition expert Taiwan (China) Hong Taixiong shared, his friend successfully reduced the amount of glycosyl hemoglobin (HBA1C) from 9% to 5.7% by eating meat, fish, eggs and all kinds.Other protein first, down nearly 37%.Dr. Hong Taixiong believes that the cause may be because the protein can increase the feeling of satiety and fat that is digested slower than carbohydrates, which can reduce the amount of glucose entering the blood quickly, reducing the burden of insulin.And make blood sugar more stable after meals.
It is known that if the HBA1C index is below 5.7%, it means normal body.HBA1C index ranges from 5.7 to 6.4% of patients diagnosed in pre -diabetes.And HBA1C> 6.4% means the patient has diabetes.
Dr. Hoang Taixiong believes that this method is really useful for controlling diabetes in certain cases, but it should be noted that its effect depends on each person and should be combined with habits.Other healthy lifestyles.
Referring to why "eat protein first" helps hypoglycemia?Dr. Hong Taixiong explained that protein and fat are slower than carbohydrates.When eating protein first, it can slow down the process of emptying the stomach and reduce the risk of glucose quickly entering the blood.When blood sugar levels fluctuate, it can also reduce the burden of insulin secretion.Moreover, a moderate -rich diet can improve insulin sensitivity and help control blood sugar levels that can first help increase the feeling of fullness and reduce excessive carbohydrates.
Hong Taixiong shared that the first step is to eat protein first, such as meat, fish, eggs, tofu and beans ... then eat green leafy vegetables, broccoli, eggplant and realityOther fiber -rich products, finally carbohydrates, such as brown rice, sweet potatoes, quinoa and whole grains with other low blood sugar index.He added that protein should account for about 25 to 30% in the diet, vegetables should account for 50% and carbohydrates should be controlled at 20 to 25%.In addition, you should also maintain a regular meal, sufficient amount and avoid eating too much or fasting for a long time.
Although this strategy has reduced 37% of his friend's glycated hemoglobin, Dr. Hong Taixiong believes that it may need to be combined with other important factors, including reduction of refined sugar and starch., increase exercise time and maintain a moderate lifestyle.He also emphasized that not all diabetics can achieve significant results just by "eating protein first".This depends on the pancreatic function and the metabolism of each individual, and the diet of too much protein can increase the burden on the kidneys, the amount of sugar must be monitored regularly to avoid the phenomenon of counter -phenomenon.Effect.
He advised people to combine more exercise, low carbohydrate diet and good living habits.If diabetics want to try, it should be done under the guidance of a doctor or nutritionist to ensure that the diet is balanced and suitable for personal health.
