Eat dried cranberry to maintain the body and pre-diabetics. The doctor revealed the most important cause of the disease

A 45-year-old female office worker eats "dried cranberry" to maintain her body after eating. She also takes her body when she goes out to do business. She thinks it is a healthy and convenient snack. Unexpectedly, her weight has continued to increase over the past five years, and her BMI value has reached 32, which is considered moderate obesity. The results of the health examination at the end of the year showed that her fasting blood sugar was as high as 115mg/dL (normal value 60 to 100mg/dL), which belonged to prediabetes. I thought it was a complaint caused by the upcoming menopause, but after medical diagnosis, I found out that the culprit turned out to be a must-eat cranberry every day.

Dried cranberry fruit is deeply loved by women for "urinary tract health care". Chen Weilong, a specialist in the Department of Inner Canyon and Heaviness Reduction at Churi Clinic, said that natural cranberries are rich in proanthocyanins (PACs), polyphenols and vitamins. A study by the National Institute of Health in 2017 showed that taking more than 36 mg of proanthocyanins per day can effectively prevent urinary tract infection.

Chen Weilong pointed out that the patient grabbed a handful of cranberries after three meals a day, which caused the fasting blood sugar to be high, and the blood sugar also rose to 185mg/dL (normal value 60mg/dL~139mg/dL), which is in the early stage of diabetes and the weight is out of control. Long-term consumption of excessive dried fruit may be one of the important factors.

Chen Weilong reminds that natural cranberries are difficult to enter, but in order to improve the taste and maintain the effect of freshness, commercially available cranberries usually add a lot of sugar and sunflower oil. Excessive intake may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes. "Although processed dried fruits are rich, the heat is also greatly increased."

Chen Weilong said that whether it is fresh fruit or dried fruits that are drained, they have nutritional value, and the key should be In terms of "appropriate quantity", although the dietary standard and mineral content of dried fruits are far higher than the same weight fruit, due to the increase in heat and the commercially available dried fruits often contain high sugar, high calcines and preservatives, people should pay special attention to the food ingredient marks when buying. Even fresh fruits with low GI (glycemic index) may become "sugar fried" if they are overfilled or eat in the wrong order. Be careful for groups with weight control needs or have larger blood sugar fluctuations.

Not only are the dried cranberry fruits, but it is not recommended to over-eat all kinds of dried fruits. In particular, dried grape fruits are often added to the fruits and are sold. In addition to not having a feeling of foot, the public may also be careless and eat too much if they are as healthy as fruits. Chen Weilong reminded that dry fruits and juice should not replace prototype fruits. In normal times, natural foods should be taken as much as possible. According to the world hygiene organization standards, each person can take no more than 50 grams of added sugar per day. The amount of added sugar in just a cup of sugar-containing beverages is likely to exceed the upper limit. People should pay more attention.
