Let's get to know konjac together. After understanding it, you may feel that "you met it too late." Konjac, also known as konjac, is a perennial tuberous herb belonging to the genus Amorphophallus of the Araceae family. It grows in plateau areas at an altitude of 600-2000 meters.

In recent years, consumers have paid more and more attention to healthy eating. There are hundreds of healthy eating styles, and among the many ways, low-sugar diet is one of the most popular eating styles. A gentle sugar-reducing diet, not extreme, simple in concept and easy to implement!

What is sugar? Can't tell the difference between the "sugar" in the "酉" radical and the "sugar" in the "米" radical? "Sugar" → Sugar is carbohydrate. A more precise calculation is: carbohydrates - dietary fiber = sugar. 『Sugar』→ Sugar is refined sugar, such as fructose, granulated sugar, honey, etc. These foods are sweet as soon as the tongue tastes them. They are absorbed quickly after consumption and will directly increase blood sugar.

Reduce your intake of refined starch
"Refined starch" refers to whole grain foods that have been processed, and white rice, bread, etc. are all refined starch. When following a sugar-reducing diet, you may want to consider replacing refined starch with brown rice, konjac, etc. to reduce the chance of a rapid rise in blood sugar.

Sufficient protein
It is recommended to supplement sufficient protein through foods such as fish, chicken, and beans.

With high-quality oil
When reducing sugar intake, you should also consume adequate fat. When eating, you should consume "high-quality oils" rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as flaxseed oil, olive oil, avocado, etc.

Get enough dietary fiber
Eating an appropriate amount of food rich in dietary fiber can effectively prevent a variety of chronic diseases.
