The right way to eat chestnuts for diabetics

1. Serving size

The nutritional characteristics of chestnuts are similar to those of rice and noodles, so the simple way is to use chestnuts to replace the corresponding amount of staple food, for example, to eat 100 grams (two taels) of dried chestnuts, you need to eat 2 taels of rice less (refers to two taels of raw rice cooked rice).

Fresh chestnuts have more water content, and the nutritional content of 2 taels of fresh chestnuts is only similar to that of 1 taels of dry chestnuts or rice or noodles. Therefore, if you eat 2 two fresh chestnuts, you only need to eat 1 two less rice. Chestnuts eat more will cause flatulence, even constipation, so the amount of food should not be too much. Diabetic patients eat one or two chestnuts a day, and reduce the corresponding amount of staple food, you can enjoy the delicious and control blood sugar both.

2. Method of consumption

There are many ways to eat chestnuts, in addition to sugar fried chestnuts. It can also be eaten raw, but also steamed chestnuts, boiled chestnuts, chestnut roasted meat, chestnut roasted chicken, sugar water chestnuts, chestnut porridge and so on. Considering the diabetic patients on the sugar intake requirements are very strict, and cooking with sugar is often not conducive to control the amount of sugar intake. So avoid adding sugar when cooking, sweetened chestnuts, fried chestnuts, etc. It is best to avoid eating. Chestnuts and other vegetables, meat cooking, made of dishes, both nutritional complementary and can delay the absorption of sugar in the corn, is a good choice for diabetic patients.

3. Serving time

The choice of when to consume them also depends on the diabetic's usual dietary arrangement. If you eat three meals a day, you can eat chestnuts at meal times, either stir-fried, roasted or boiled, in place of some of the main meals. If five or six meals a day, can be consumed at additional meal times. However, it is best to eat with food high in dietary fiber, which can slow down the absorption of starch in chestnuts and help control postprandial blood sugar levels.

Xiao Bei said

In conclusion, regardless of the choice of cooking method, when to eat. All need to be based on strict control of the amount of food. You can first weigh the chestnuts to be consumed, and then cook reasonably, and reduce the amount of the corresponding staple food at mealtime.

Autumn is the ripe season of chestnuts, the streets and alleys are floating with the smell of chestnuts, sugar lovers mood is very catching, chestnuts are nuts, although not as rich as walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds and so on so rich in fat, but it contains starch is very high. Due to the chestnut nutritious, sweet and delicious, many people are keen on the unique flavor of chestnuts, and I am one of them, but the shortcoming is that chestnuts starch so much, sugar lovers can eat it, and how to eat?

The first thing we need to understand is that any food is a blood sugar raising food, just not at the same rate!

According to the measurement of dry chestnuts of carbohydrates to 77%, fresh chestnuts have as much as 40%, is 2.4 times the potato; chestnuts among the protein content is 4% to 5%, although not as much as peanuts, walnuts, but also than the boiled rice to be higher. Chestnuts produce high energy, chestnuts not only contain a lot of starch, but also rich in protein, fat, B vitamins and other nutrients, chestnuts are rich in vitamin B1, B2, vitamin B2 content is at least 4 times that of rice, per 100 grams also contains 24 mg of vitamin C, which is incomparable to food.Although chestnuts are not low in sugars, the overall glycemic response is lower than that of rice, so people with diabetes can eat chestnuts in moderation as a substitute for a main meal.But when eating chestnuts for tonic, sugar lovers should avoid eating too much, too much is not enough ah.

The question arises, so how much is the right amount to eat and how can sugar lovers control the amount?

In the case of blood glucose stability (to note that is in the case of blood glucose stability), to 10 or so appropriate, and at the same time to reduce the intake of staple food, try to between meals as a snack chestnuts, or mixed with staple food together, and do not eat a large number of meals. Chestnuts on the market sugar fried chestnuts glycemic index is higher than steamed chestnuts, so it is not recommended to eat sugar fried chestnuts, but to eat steamed chestnuts as appropriate.

Thanks for the invite.

If in the blood sugar is more stable stage is actually can eat less, or can be used as part of the staple food to replace. Because chestnuts are rich in starch, and staple food can play the same effect of replenishing energy, so if you eat some chestnuts, it is best not to consume the daily amount of staple food, reduce the same amount of will be better. Chestnuts used to replace part of the rice is actually a better choice, chestnuts belong to the nut food, which in addition to high starch content, but also rich in more B vitamins, minerals, trace elements and dietary fiber components, its calorie, sugar content, although higher, but the rate of glucose is not as fast as rice, so it can provide enough calories, but also be able to make the rate of rise of blood glucose a little slower. Why not.

Chestnuts can also be used as an additional food between meals, because they are rich in starch, so they can be used to prevent low blood sugar and pad the stomach. Diabetic friends can also choose to eat a few chestnuts between meals, the impact on blood sugar will not be so great, but must pay attention to grasp the amount, if you eat more than one time, it is easy to affect blood sugar. In addition, do not think that the dietary fiber inside the chestnut is relatively rich so you can eat recklessly, in the final analysis, its starch content is still very high, and ultimately are to be decomposed into glucose, certainly have an impact on blood glucose, a day not more than 10 or so will be enough. In addition, especially for friends who need to inject insulin, must not be too much.
