We all know that many people now have diabetes but many of us would not be aware of the foods that could cause this diabetes condition in us. An endocrine disease where the blood sugar levels would be high is diabetes. It is necessary to treat this issue or else it could lead to many health complications in us.
Our body functions would depend on our food habits and poor dietary habits are associated with diabetes. There are various foods that could lead to diabetes in us when consumed in high amounts.
These foods are
Sugary beverages:
Refined sugars are present in sodas, sweetened juices and energy drinks etc. When we consume these in excess amounts, then we could get diabetes. Truth is that regular drinking of these sugary beverages would lead to insulin resistance and obesity etc and these are the risk factors for diabetes.
White bread and pastries:
There would be a quick rise in the blood sugar levels in us when we eat white bread, cakes and pastries having high glycemic index or GI.
Fried foods:
It must be noted that deep fried foods like fries, doughnuts and fried chicken are rich in unhealthy fats and these can result in inflammation, increased levels of cholesterol and increased insulin resistance. This could lead to diabetes in us.
Processed meats:
Preservatives, salt and unhealthy fats are present in the processed meats like sausages, hot dogs and deli meats etc. There are high chances of getting diabetes when a person eats these foods in excess amounts.
White rice:
Not many of us would know that white rice is stripped of its fibre, vitamins and minerals during processing. By this, white rice turns into a food with high GI. We could get increased blood sugar levels when we eat white rice in excess amounts.
Candy and sweets etc:
The concentrated sources of sugars that can lead to an immediate spike in the blood sugar levels in us are candies, chocolates and sweets etc. Insulin resistance and weight gain would be possible by regular intake of candy and sweets etc.
Fruit juices:
Whole fruits have fibre in them but fruit juices do not have fibres. It would be good for us to consume whole fruits and avoid fruit juices having high sugar content.
Full fat dairy products:
It must be noted that a full fat version of dairy products like milk, cheese etc would be rich in saturated fats. Excess intake of full fat dairy products would lead to weight gain and insulin resistance etc in us resulting in diabetes.
Potato chips and snacks:
Refined carbohydrates, unhealthy fats and salt etc found in potato chips and in other packed snacks etc. By eating these foods in excess amounts, we could put on weight and this could increase the chances of gegetting diabetes.
