Attention! People with Diabetes Should Pay Attention to These Things

A doctor once explained diabetes in this way: if we put an apple in water, this apple may not change much, but if you put this apple in sugar water, it may turn into candied fruit. Similarly, high glucose levels in the blood of diabetics can cause damage throughout the body, with complications such as cardiovascular disease (cerebral infarction, heart attack), atherosclerosis, diabetic foot, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy, and so on. So I s diabetes caused by eating too much sugar? Not really. In fact, any food we consume will eventually be converted into sugar to provide calories for the body and sustain life. And the glucose level in the blood exceeds the normal range, causing an increase in blood sugar, which is mainly related to a hormone in the body. In our body there is a "small island" called the pancreas, on which live a lot of "delivery boy", they are collectively known as insulin. Under normal circumstances, when we eat, food carbohydrates into the intestines, will be broken down into glucose, glucose into the bloodstream, it becomes what we call "blood sugar". Once the blood sugar increases, insulin leaves the "islets" to do its work, transporting the blood glucose to the cells to lower the blood sugar level. The glucose that enters the cells is then used for energy production or stored as glycogen or fat to provide energy for the organs and cells. Love to eat high-calorie food and do not exercise is the original sin! We thought that the tacit cooperation between us and the "delivery boy" insulin would continue forever. However, when our lifestyle changes, long-term intake of high-calorie food and lack of exercise lead to a decrease in the proportion of probiotics in the intestinal tract and a decrease in the content of butyrate. Typical Symptoms of Diabetes Simply put, when we eat and drink a lot every day, and do not like to exercise, resulting in an imbalance of intestinal flora and intestinal barrier damage, so that more glucose leakage into the blood into the blood sugar, causing blood sugar rise. As blood sugar gets higher and higher, the workload of the "delivery boy" insulin also increases greatly, and over time the pancreas is overwhelmed, insulin sensitivity decreases, and becomes passive, and those excess glucose in the blood can not be transported to the cells, resulting in high glucose levels in the blood vessels, type 2 diabetes is also formed. Three Steps to Fight Diabetes Exercise every day 1. exercise at least 150 minutes per week at moderate intensity; 2. insist on moving every day, with total daily activity equal to at least 6,000 steps; 3. reduce sedentary time and get up and move every hour. Balanced diet Eat a diet with more vegetables and fruits and less red meat; Replace rice with whole grains where appropriate; Variety of food types; Less oil, salt and sugar, and seven or eight minutes of satiety at each meal. Nutrient supplementation In 2022 a research team from the Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, a scientific research partner of the Ebate Dairy Group, found that: Camel's milk lactoferrin DPP-IV inhibitory peptides GPQY and EACAF are involved in anti-inflammatory response, inhibit beta cell apoptosis and improve insulin resistance play a role in diabetes. It has a synergistic effect on diabetic complications such as cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and cancer. In addition to this there are several scientific studies at home and abroad that confirm this: Camel milk is rich in several types of hypoglycemic active substances: insulin, insulin-like protein, lactoferrin, immunoglobulin, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). Its insulin content is 3,000 times that of cow's milk, and diabetes recognizes the benefits of long-term consumption of camel's milk. Immunoglobulins contained in camel milk have small size, single structure, high affinity and high stability, strong cell/vessel penetration and antigen binding ability, and can reach many special areas that are difficult to be reached by traditional antibodies. The P450 detoxifying substances in camel milk can also reduce oxidative stress by increasing the level of non-enzymatic antioxidant molecules, antioxidant enzyme activity. Camel milk is rich in lactoferrin transfer protein and solubilizing enzymes, and has the highest lactoferrin content compared to common mammalian milks such as cow's milk and goat's milk. Lactoferrin is the key potent ingredient in camel milk. One liter of camel milk contains 52 units of insulin, while the equivalent amount of cow's milk contains only 0.016 units of insulin. The incidence of impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and the incidence of diabetes in people who regularly consume camel's milk is significantly lower than those who do not drink camel's milk because camel's milk is also rich in insulin-like proteins with cysteine, which is a boon for diabetics. In conclusion. Eat a balanced diet and keep moving, regular medical checkups, and paying attention to the health of the "body". Only by doing so can we keep the control of blood glucose in our own hands. References: [1] Liang Lei, Nian Xin. Intestinal flora: a new target for future type 2 diabetes treatment[J].
