Recently, Ms. Qin, who lives in Wuchang Luzhi Road District, has heard that eating okra can lower blood sugar. She called the newspaper and said she would like to ask the majority of “sugar friendsâ€: If all meals are eaten with okra, can they be reduced? Did the drug stop?
Yesterday, the Wuhan Food and Drug Administration issued a reminder: Okra's nutritional value is high, rich in potassium, calcium, vitamins, dietary fiber, etc., but the control of blood sugar must rely on supplemental insulin. With the exception of okra, bitter gourd does not contain insulin and it is impossible to reduce sugar by eating only these vegetables.
Ms. Qin said that she saw online users “research and develop†a new way to lower the blood sugar of okra: wash the 6 okras, soak in the water overnight, drink soaked water, and persist for a long time to lower blood sugar. No need to eat hypoglycemic drugs.
“But in the final analysis, okra is just one of many vegetables and there is no magical hypoglycemic effect.†Experts of the City Food and Drug Administration said that although the extract of okra in okra, for the treatment of experimental animals with diabetes and Kidney disease has a certain effect, but this is the extracted, concentrated dose, which is not the same as we usually eat a few okra, or drink with okra. In addition, okra is digested by the stomach, and the effect of lowering blood sugar is negligible, even negligible.
In this regard, experts from the Food and Drug Administration suggest that any food has its own advantages and disadvantages. Never excessively “deify†vegetables. Diabetic patients eat different types of green vegetables, including okra and bitter gourd. It is helpful to control blood sugar. However, do not belittle formal treatment because of superstitious beliefs that eating vegetable foods reduces blood sugar. Food can not save blood sugar.
