Not Just Sweets: What Foods Increase the Risk of Diabetes
Everyone knows that sweets and flour products have a negative impact on health.
As a result, glucose levels increase, which affects blood vessels, heart, kidneys and vision. In addition, there is a risk of weight problems.
But, as endocrinologist Armine Afonina noted in a conversation with representatives of the Izvestia publication, unsweetened foods can also increase glucose levels.
This is wheat bread, as well as any baked goods made from wheat flour. Also, mashed potatoes and small pasta will be harmful.
Also, instant porridge, semolina, couscous, waffles and chips have a high glycemic index, which leads to a jump in glucose. Dried fruits are harmful.
Some vegetables that are considered healthy are also included in this list.
Therefore, they should be added to the menu with caution, you can not overdo it with them in the diet. In this case, we are talking about boiled beets, carrots and pumpkin.
Afonina also added that a person who wants to avoid health problems needs to stick to a healthy diet, monitor their weight, and also remember about physical activity.
