Blood sugar spikes as soon as you eat it... Surprisingly, this food is the worst for diabetes. It's a complete surprise.

 

There's a food that causes blood sugar levels to spike immediately after eating, which is surprisingly bad for diabetes. It's quite a surprise.

That food is 'curry'.

The fact that curry is not good for diabetics is something many people overlook. The curry we commonly cook is high in starch, carbohydrates, and sodium, making it unsuitable for diabetics.

Of course, turmeric, the main ingredient in curry, is known to be beneficial to health.

 

Curcumin, found in turmeric, has powerful antioxidant properties and helps suppress nerve cell damage and inflammation caused by free radicals. Furthermore, research has shown that curcumin lowers blood sugar and is effective in preventing and treating diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and depression. Because curcumin is fat-soluble, its absorption rate is low when consumed raw. Therefore, it is recommended to consume it with dairy products like yogurt or oil.

 

However, it's important to remember that a significant portion of commercially available curry powder is comprised of carbohydrates that increase blood sugar levels. It's also important to note that curry contains starch. Starch is what gives curry its thick, non-watery texture. Many diabetics, hearing only about the health benefits of turmeric, often experience spikes in their blood sugar levels after consuming curry.

How much turmeric, the main spice in curry, is actually included? In fact, turmeric accounts for only about 3% of curry powder. The remaining ingredients include flour, various starches, sugar, and chemical seasonings, which can negatively impact blood sugar control.

 

So, what should you do if you're craving curry? If you're craving curry, choose meats like chicken breast or seafood, and avoid potatoes for vegetables like carrots, zucchini, and onions. Reduce your portion sizes and replace rice with multigrain rice. It's also crucial to check the nutritional content of your curry powder and choose one with a high turmeric content.

 

In conclusion, it's undeniable that the turmeric component of curry is beneficial for diabetes. However, because turmeric accounts for only a small portion of the total curry composition, it's unlikely that curry will have a positive effect on diabetes. Its excessive carbohydrate and sodium content can have negative effects on diabetics.

 

 

==================

I am taking a water-soluble curcumin supplement.

I like curry too.

 

Since you eat a lot of carbohydrates, your blood sugar level also goes up a lot.

Meat -> Chicken breast. Seafood... I need to remember that.
