It is a full-fledged autumn. With more outdoor activities and lower temperatures than summer, appetite increases. Managing blood sugar is more important than ever. This is because the stimulation to the satiety center that suppresses appetite weakens, making blood sugar control more difficult.

The satiety center is stimulated by heat generated during eating. In colder weather, more food is needed to reach the temperature that activates the satiety center. This is why there is a loss of appetite in the hot summer and an increase in appetite during autumn. This can lead to overeating and also increases the risk of a rapid rise in blood sugar, known as a 'blood sugar spike.'

To manage blood sugar healthily during the fall season, consistent exercise is essential. Even simple, regular physical activity greatly helps improve insulin sensitivity and stabilize blood sugar levels. In addition to exercise, it is also important to include foods that aid in blood sugar management in your diet. Low-sugar grains and fresh vegetables help maintain stable blood sugar, so it is advisable to incorporate these foods into your diet.

Low-sugar grains with low sugar content... containing over 60 nutrients such as dietary fiber and protein

 

Paro is a representative blood sugar management food that is easy to obtain in daily life and convenient to cook. It is a low-sugar grain that is beneficial for blood sugar control and weight management, and it is an ancient grain that has not been genetically modified. It is known that the quality and seed purity of Paro, cultivated in the Tuscany region of Italy, are high. Due to its low sugar content, it can effectively help with blood sugar management. Paro contains about 2.4 grams of sugar per 100 grams, which is more than three times lower than kamut, an ancient grain with low sugar content.

Paro contains a variety of nutrients including dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals. With over 60 different nutrients, Paro is especially rich in magnesium and zinc, which are important for blood sugar regulation and improving insulin sensitivity.

 

Arabinoxylan and ferulic acid, the main components of Paro, also play a significant role in blood sugar regulation. Arabinoxylan, a type of dietary fiber, helps slow down digestion in the intestines, leading to a gradual increase in blood sugar levels. Ferulic acid is an antioxidant that contributes to blood circulation, anti-aging, skin beautification, and blood sugar control. Paro, which is low in calories, also helps maintain an appropriate body weight and is easy to prepare. It can be added to rice when cooking or used in various dishes such as salads and soups.

Barley and buckwheat also help with blood sugar management... Fresh spinach, burdock, tofu, and others are also beneficial.

 

Barley and buckwheat are also suitable for those who need blood sugar management. First, barley has a low glycemic index and is rich in dietary fiber, which can prevent rapid spikes in blood sugar. Barley can also be used in various Korean dishes. Buckwheat contains no gluten and helps with blood sugar control. Additionally, it is rich in components that help maintain vascular health, reduce inflammation, and are beneficial for diabetes management.

 

There are ways to include spinach in your diet. Spinach is rich in vitamins and minerals that help stabilize blood sugar levels. It is a low-calorie food that is also high in dietary fiber, making it easy to add to meals for diabetics without any burden. The same applies to tofu. Tofu can be prepared in various ways, but it helps to mitigate blood sugar spikes and provides sufficient satiety, making it beneficial for controlling portion sizes. As a plant-based protein, it can be consumed without concerns about obesity, which is another advantage.

 

Burdock, which is rich in fiber, also helps to alleviate blood sugar spikes during digestion. The arginine component inside burdock promotes diuretic action, which can help keep the lungs and respiratory system, which become sensitive in autumn and winter, clean and healthy.
