Can diabetics drink corn paste? Why?

Different people have different views on this issue, because the author also obtained knowledge through consulting materials, and his understanding may not be correct, but I will tell you my own views on this issue.

First of all, it must be edible, but it must be controlled. Personally, I think it is better to eat corn directly. Why do you say that?

Because corn paste is porridge, the concentration is relatively high, it is porridge, not corn, and it belongs to refined grain. This cooking method is not suitable for diabetics. In fact, it is no problem to eat boiled corn directly. As long as you choose to eat ordinary corn instead of sweet corn, you can stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is also good for diabetics.

Secondly, corn paste is mainly carbohydrates, not pure corn. For diabetics, excessive carbohydrate intake will increase blood sugar. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat corn paste or coarse grains.

But there is no denying the benefits of corn paste. For diabetics, eating corn is very beneficial. The cellulose contained in corn can absorb some glucose and reduce the blood sugar concentration, so it has a certain therapeutic effect on diabetes. In addition, it also contains unsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, which can reduce the concentration of cholesterol in blood and prevent it from depositing on the blood vessel wall in synergy with vitamin E in corn germ. Therefore, corn has a good preventive and therapeutic effect on coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia and hypertension.

Therefore, eating corn is very beneficial to diabetic patients, but we must pay attention to distinguish the types of corn, and also pay attention to distinguish when buying corn paste, because some corn is sweet corn, such as waxy corn, which will raise blood sugar, so it is not recommended to eat. Ordinary normal corn, although not so beautiful, contains vitamin E, carotene, calcium, phosphorus, selenium and plant cellulose, which can moisten the intestines and relax the bowels.

In addition, eating corn for diabetics can induce diuresis and reduce swelling, which is very beneficial for people with ascites, edema and urinary calculi due to poor urination. In addition, it can also supplement rich carotenoids for the body, which has obvious effects on improving vision, relieving visual fatigue and enhancing immunity.

Of course, eating corn also has disadvantages, because it may lead to the lack of nicotinic acid, because nicotinic acid in corn is bound nicotinic acid, which is not easily absorbed by the human body. Eating too much corn will lead to niacin deficiency and cause skin and nerve damage. Therefore, corn is not everything. It is better to take it according to the doctor's advice.
