Pumpkin hypoglycemic function really that magical?
In recent years, the increasing number of patients with diabetes, blood glucose pumpkin can also have spread the legend even. The public and even heard some of the remedies, that is as long as the continuous consumption of 50 kg pumpkin will be able to control diabetes, and do not take medicine.
Most of these legends is said to come from abroad, one of the most convincing in the 1980s, the Japanese Hokkaido diabetes up to 5%, but the village did not Yubari a diabetic. In Japan this report caused a great interest in the medical profession, resulting in the rise of Japan, the "pumpkin fever." Many businesses also as a basis to develop a lot of pumpkin products. Followed in China such as Beijing's health food stores and pharmacies, supermarkets are also known to have been a lot lower blood sugar, to pumpkin as the main raw material of health food. And almost all of the sales staff and customers in all of the "pumpkin to glucose," the correctness of this diagnosis method, no doubt.
But when someone asked the sales staff "pumpkin hypoglycemic" scientific basis, then they have hedged their people in the word. As a Beijing production of "pumpkin powder," the company's manager, said: "Business is not necessary to complete the whole process starting from research, and some ready-made conclusions can be directly used, the direct production." Tianjin, a manufacturer of pumpkin powder business also said that they only see newspapers, magazines, on such propaganda, that is a business, you do.
Pumpkin hypoglycemic truth
This will be the legend from abroad as research practice, of course, attracted the attention of many scientists in China, and was made the test. For example, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine Diabetes Consultation Center Director Professor Lei Shunqun said: pumpkin in common food on the glycemic index, a high index of foods, eat pumpkin not only not hypoglycemic, but will appear yellowish discoloration of skin, and even make blood sugar rise high.
According to Professor Lei Shunqun description: pumpkin glycemic index of 75, if the generated index at 55 below, basically people with diabetes can eat. If 55 to 75, should control the consumption of 75 or more is a high index foods, high index of food is easily digested stomach into the body, absorption rate, quick release of glucose, and after the peak high into the blood, thereby contributing to hyperglycemia. Therefore, in everyday life, it is recommended people with diabetes should not eat too much pumpkin, enough is enough.
Department of Endocrinology, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Professor Xu Yan pairs, dozens of people with diabetes to do the experiment, found that patients after eating pumpkin (do not eat anything else) before the increase in blood sugar than eating pumpkin 1 to 2 mmol.
China Yi-Horticultural Society Pumpkin reported, the researchers said club president, pumpkin is rich in carotene, pectin and other nutrients, vegetables are a good health, eat regularly and moderately beneficial to humans. At least pumpkin more than 100 kinds, and some varieties of pumpkin has a hypoglycemic effect, but a lot of pumpkin varieties, and nutrient content are very different, and sometimes differences of up to 3 to 5 times. Even individual species have a hypoglycemic effect of pumpkin, the patient may not guarantee this kind of food is pumpkin.
As a common vegetable, pumpkin contains carotene, vitamin C, calcium, or a relatively high amount of rich, which has some nutritional value. The hypoglycemic function, so far there is no research reported in this area, so patients with the legend "eat pumpkin" behavior should be a big misunderstanding, and even cause blood sugar. Should stop immediately. Business of speculation, it is totally unnecessary.
Diabetes pathology, physiological changes are absolute or relative lack of insulin, caused by carbohydrates, fat, protein and other metabolic disorders. Thus, according to the type and severity of illness in patients with diet controlled diabetes is one of the important measures. There are three traditional ways: First, a simple diet; second is diet plus insulin; Third, diet plus oral hypoglycemic drugs. Other research confirmed the folk without unilateral, still less or not at all.
The medicinal value of the pumpkin, then still Li's "Compendium of Materia Medica" and said, pumpkin "smell sweet, warm, non-toxic", a deficiency of the function is correct.
