According to the study, the blood sugar index of food depends not only on the material itself but also affected by the processing, fermentation and salt and sugar content in the product.
In the process of vegetable salt, especially with added sugar to ferment as fast as industrial kimchi or improved pickles, single sugar can accumulate. The World Health Organization warns that food consumption has a high glycemic index that increases the risk of blood sugar disorders, leading to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
A study published on The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology indicates that some of the solders are sold at a high blood sugar index with chips or white rice due to fast fermentation with refined sugar.
In addition, salted vegetables often contain lots of sodium. High sodium retains water, indirectly increases blood pressure and makes glucose in blood more difficult to control, especially for people with diabetes. When the body has a mild inflammation due to the high salt amount, the insulin function is also weakened.
Therefore, housewives should note that salted vegetables in the traditional way can bring benefits if done properly. As for industrial salt products, using a lot of sugar and refined salts, it is likely to suddenly increase blood sugar index.
Therefore, when adding salted vegetables to a diet should be careful. It is best to give priority to saline vegetables, low sugar and naturally fermented to protect long -term health.
