Dr. Yang Ziqi
People with high blood sugar can consume onions and wood ear mushrooms (black fungus). Onions are rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation. They also contain relatively low amounts of sugar, and moderate consumption will not cause a sharp increase in blood glucose levels. Wood ear mushrooms, on the other hand, contain abundant protein, vitamins, and dietary fiber. They help reduce blood viscosity, improve blood circulation, and offer certain auxiliary regulatory benefits for individuals with high blood sugar. Additionally, wood ear mushrooms can help cleanse the stomach and intestines, protect against radiation, enhance vitality and physical strength, nourish the blood, promote blood circulation, lower blood lipid levels, and delay aging. Therefore, individuals with high blood sugar can moderately include onions and wood ear mushrooms in their daily diet to supplement essential nutrients and assist in blood sugar control. However, please note that all foods should be consumed in moderation, as excessive intake may have adverse effects on health.
