Dietary principles that diabetics need to know

After many years of nutritional counseling for diabetic patients, Master Hong Ha (graduated from the American Academy of Integrative Nutrition) said that the Bimemo macrobiotic method is a healthy solution to help diabetics restore their health, strengthen their immunity, and optimize the body's self-healing mechanism. When applying Bimemo, patients need to follow the principles below.

- Do not eat after 8pm:Dinner should be eaten before 8pm and at most 2 hours before bedtime. After 11pm, the body's biological clock will switch to a different state. The body slows down its metabolism and focuses more on other important functions such as digesting food, resting, and recharging the body.

- Eat on time:Arrange the time of daily meals appropriately and the following days must also eat at the same time, the time fluctuates no more than 15 minutes. At that time, the body will send signals to the organs to be ready to digest food and regulate insulin to help metabolize sugar. This will not cause sudden increase in blood sugar, sugar metabolism disorders. The best time for the intestines to absorb nutrients is from 7-9 am, need to eat breakfast on time to have good health.

- Diverse meals:Eat a variety of plants, diversify your diet. Eat colorful portions, eat vegetables and fruits first and then other foods. Eating whole grains in their natural state will help patients achieve stable blood sugar levels. Other foods to use are fruits, vegetables, bean sprouts, fresh seeds, mushrooms, natural spices (ginger, garlic, onion, lemon...).

- Eat slowly and chew thoroughly:The principle of eating that diabetics need to pay attention to is that the speed of eating must be extremely slow. Type 2 diabetics should eat twice as slow as usual. Type 1 diabetics should eat three times as slow as usual.
