Diabetics controlling blood sugar in summer may want to eat more red, green and brown vegetables

With the scorching sun overhead, most parts of the country have entered the hot summer days. Because of the weather, the number of diabetics going to hospitals for follow-up examinations has surged sharply again.

At this time, attending physicians in the endocrinology department have spoken out one after another, pointing out that to control blood sugar, in addition to medication, daily "dietary therapy" is also crucial. Today, the 3 colors of food we recommend to everyone are both common foods in everyone's summer kitchen and magic weapons for controlling blood sugar.

Red blood sugar control weapon: tomato

Summer is the season when tomatoes flood the market, yet many people do not know that tomatoes actually also have a blood sugar-lowering effect. The lycopene in tomatoes can resist oxidation, promote the recovery of pancreatic islet cell function, and also has an auxiliary blood sugar-lowering effect. In addition, with its low glycemic index and rich dietary fiber, it is a very good choice for diabetics in summer.

Green blood sugar control weapon: bitter melon

Many diabetics know that eating bitter melon helps in the treatment of diabetes. This is because bitter melon contains charantin, a water-soluble substance that can increase insulin sensitivity, reduce the occurrence of hyperinsulinemia, and play a role in lowering blood sugar. So diabetics may want to eat more bitter melon in summer; for example, after getting up in the morning, half an hour before meals, 250 grams of fresh bitter melon can be juiced and drunk, once a day. Because bitter melon is on the cool side, patients with poor gastrointestinal function can cook it into porridge and add ginger to remove its cold nature.

Brown blood sugar control weapon: cinnamon

In our country's traditional medicine, cinnamon is also called "superior medicine." Its nature is mild, and people can use it in seasoning with complete confidence. Cinnamon can restore the responsiveness of diabetics' fat cells to insulin and promote the transfer and utilization of glucose in the blood, thereby lowering the sugar content in the blood. However, there are also particular ways to consume cinnamon. For the sake of safety, the most reliable choice for everyone is to consume the cinnamon glucose-metabolizing formula extracted with patented technology from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In short, the human body's blood sugar level fluctuates with the changes of the seasons. In summer, people sweat more, the body's metabolism is fast, and coupled with poor appetite and eating less, blood sugar fluctuates relatively little. Diabetic friends must seize this best opportunity to control blood sugar.
