The Power of Wheat
As many as 80% of cases of diabetes are type 2 diabetes that can be prevented with a healthy lifestyle. One of them by eating foods made from wheat.
In the study of Nurses' Health Studies I and II involving 160,000 women, it was found that those who ate two or three servings of food made from wheat had a 30% lower risk of diabetes.
There are also other studies that found that people who ate white rice had a 17% higher risk of diabetes. Meanwhile, those who daily consume brown rice (made from wheat) have an 11% lower risk of diabetes.
More Difficult to digest
Wheat-made foods such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, brown rice, and oatmeal-are more difficult to digest, because they are composed of more complex carbohydrates.
As a result, the digestion process becomes glucose more slowly and blood sugar levels in the body rise slowly. Thus, the body does not feel 'shocked'.
Another case with carbohydrates made from processed wheat, such as white rice, white bread, cakes, and donuts. Because more easily digested by the body, blood sugar levels can soar when you finish eating these foods.
Higher Diabetic Number
More than 422 million people worldwide have diabetes. In Indonesia alone, the number of diabetics jumped considerably, from 5.7% in 2007 to 6.9% in 2013 (about 9.1 million people).
Diabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are too high, caused by a disturbance of the function of insulin. Diabetes is a chronic disease that can cause various complications. Starting from a foot infection that can lead to amputations, kidney failure, heart disease, and stroke.
The 2014 Sample Registration Survey data shows that diabetes is the third leading cause of death in Indonesia, after stroke and heart disease.
Now you need to be more careful in choosing food. Wherever possible, replace conventional carbohydrates with foods made from wheat to avoid diabetes.
