Eggs are a low carbohydrate food with a low glycemic index. This makes them a very good source of protein for diabetics.
What is Glycemic Level?
According to the data, there are some foods that manage to raise blood sugar levels very quickly.
This happens because carbohydrates manage to be transformed more quickly into sugar, which the body uses for energy.
The carbohydrates in question are mostly found in sugar and bread.
The glycemic index is a way of distinguishing the good slow-reacting carbohydrates from the bad ones.
The glycemic level is measured from 0 to 100. For example if a food has a glycemic level lower than 55 then it is good.
The level from 56-69 is considered average while that above 70 is considered high or bad.
Foods with a low glycemic index that reaches 0 are: cheese, eggs, meat, fish, oils and nuts.
Fruits and legumes have a glycemic index lower than 55, while sugar, ice cream and processed foods have a glycemic index higher than 70.
Diabetes is a disease that affects the balance of bad and good cholesterol.
There are concerns that eggs may increase the overall level of cholesterol in the blood, increasing the risk of heart disease.
The recommended amount of cholesterol that is allowed per day is 300 milligrams.
According to the data, one egg contains about 200 mg of cholesterol. Despite this, studies confirm that diabetics can benefit from eggs, because the latter improves blood sugar levels.
In addition, the egg has a very low glycemic index and does not harm the health of a diabetic.
Eggs are a complete protein, which means they contain 9 amino acids that the body cannot produce.
Healthy ways to prepare eggs for diabetics
The healthiest way to cook an egg is to boil it. Another way is to lightly fry the beaten egg mixed with low-fat milk.
Experts advise to combine eggs with vegetables and not with fatty products. If you like fried foods, choose healthy fats such as olive oil.
