怎样预防糖尿病患者的视力变差

什么是糖尿病视网膜病变?
    糖尿病患者由于长期血糖升高,体内代谢紊乱,引起全身微循环障碍。眼底视网膜血管容易受损,即发生糖尿病性视网膜病变( diabetic retinopathy,DR )。糖尿病视网膜病变是糖尿病的严重并发症之一,也是糖尿病患者引起盲目的主要原因之一。
    流行病学调查表明,大约有75%不重视血糖控制的糖尿病患者,在发病15年内发生糖尿病性视网膜病变。在糖尿病患者中,发生糖尿病视网膜病变者达50%以上
    糖尿病造成机体损害的病理原因是高血糖对微小血管的损伤,它使视网膜毛细血管的内皮细胞与周细胞受损,从而导致毛细血管失去正常的屏障功能,出现渗漏现 象,造成周围组织水肿、出血,继而毛细血管的闭塞引起视网膜缺血,血供与营养缺乏,导致组织坏死及新生血管生长因子的释放及因之而产生的新生血管,从而将 引起视网膜大量出血与玻璃体的大量积血,产生增殖性玻璃体视网膜病变。年龄愈大,病程愈长,眼底发病率愈高。年轻人较老年人患者危险性更大,预后常不良。 若糖尿病能得到及时控制,不仅发生机会少,同时对视网膜损害也较轻,否则视网膜病变逐渐加重,发生反复出血,导致视网膜增殖性改变,甚至视网膜脱离,或并 发白内障

  糖尿病视网膜病变有哪些表现?
    糖尿病性视网膜病变是由于糖尿病引起,除全身症状以多饮、多食、多尿及尿糖、血糖升高为特征外,并有双眼视网膜出现鲜红色毛细血管瘤,火焰状出血,后期有灰白色渗出,鲜红色新生血管形成,易发生玻璃体红色积血为主要特征的眼底改变。

早期眼底病变不影响黄斑部时,视力不受影响,患者无自觉症状,有时患者感觉视力减退,或眼前有黑影飞动或飘动。若病变发展3到5年或血糖控制不好,可引起 不同程度的眼底出血、渗出、水肿、血管瘤。如眼底黄斑受累,可出现视力下降,眼前黑影,视野中心暗点,中心视力下降和视物变形等症状。如果视网膜反复出血 进入玻璃体,患者自觉眼前有黑影飘动。当血管或新生血管大量出血到玻璃体腔,将严重影响视力,甚至失明。
    
糖尿病视网膜病变应如何防治?
    1.将血糖控制在正常或接近正常水平,同时血压控制在140/90mmHg正常范围内。
    2.适当控制饮食、加强运动、控制好血糖。
    3.早期检查视力和眼底,早期治疗,保住视力提高您的生活质量。








How Does Fiber Lower Cholesterol?

About Cholesterol

  • Cholesterol is sterol that plays a vital role in maintaining cell wall integrity and hormone production. However, it is possible to have too much of a good thing, and high blood cholesterol can lead to heart disease and stroke. There are two types of cholesterol, Low Density Lipoprotien (LDL) and High Density Lipoprotien (HDL). LDL cholesterol is considered the "bad" cholesterol because its low density causes it to clump together in the blood stream, clogging blood vessels.
    Blood cholesterol comes from two sources, the diet and the liver. Generally, the liver only makes as much cholesterol as we need, but there are those who are genetically predisposed to overproducing cholesterol. But, while we cannot control how much cholesterol the liver produces, we can control diet. One dietary measure, for reducing cholesterol, is to increase fiber consumption. Fiber comes in two forms--soluble, which dissolves in water, and insoluble, which does not.

Soluble Fiber

  • Soluble fiber controls cholesterol levels by trapping dietary cholesterol, removing cholesterol from the body, and slowing the production of cholesterol in the liver. When food enters the intestines the liver releases bile, which is produced from cholesterol, to help with digestion. When the soluble fiber dissolves, it forms a gummy substance that traps dietary cholesterol, and bile, keeping them from entering the blood stream. The body does not absorb this fiber, instead, the unabsorbed mass, and the cholesterol, pass out of the body during defecation. Because the dietary cholesterol and the bile are removed, the body has to use blood cholesterol for its purposes, thereby lowering blood cholesterol levels. As the dietary fiber sits in the intestines, it ferments. As the fiber ferments, the cholic acid in the bile is broken down into a fatty acid called chenodeoxycholic acid. This fatty acid inhibits cholesterol production in the liver, resulting in an overall lowering of blood cholesterol levels.

Insoluble Fiber

  • Insoluble fiber does not bind with cholesterol but it helps with the elimination of wastes. So the soluble fiber stops the absorption of cholesterol and the insoluble fiber helps clear it from the body faster.

Recommended Intake

  • According to the Mayo Clinic, just 10 grams of soluble fiber, a day, decreases total LDL cholesterol. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends 25 grams, per day, for women, and 38 grams for men. Fiber only occurs in plant products like beans, fruits and vegetables. There are also breads, cereals and even fiber-fortified dairy products available to help meet dietary requirements. The easiest way to increase fiber intake is to have whole fruits and vegetables with every meal, eat several small meals a day and supplement with fiber-fortified foods. However, you should increase fiber slowly, because fiber does not digest, and too much at once can cause bloating, gas and discomfort.

Types of Fiber


Although there are several forms of fiber, they can be classified into two major groups: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. While both are good for the body, only one group has been shown to be beneficial in lowering your cholesterol. Soluble fiber can be dissolved in water and forms a gel-like consistency in the digestive tract. On the other hand, insoluble fiber cannot be dissolved in water, so it passes through the digestive tract relatively unchanged. When it comes to your heart health, it appears that only soluble fiber is beneficial in lowering your cholesterol. In fact, studies have shown that consuming 10 to 25 grams soluble fiber a day can lower cholesterol by 18%.
However, it appears to only lower your “bad” cholesterol (LDL) –- your “good” cholesterol (HDL) and triglycerides are only minimally, if at all, affected by soluble fiber. Additionally, insoluble fiber does not appear to affect cholesterol levels, but it is important in maintaining a healthy colon.

GABA Rainbow Porridge and five elements
    
The Five Elemental Energies (wu sing)in Traditional Chinese Medicine represent Metal (associated with lung and white color), wood (associated with liver and green color), water (related to kidneys and black color ) , fire (related to heart and red color), Earth (associated with spleen and Yellowish color ), also called  five zang organs.
The six fu organs are the gall bladder, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, urinary bladder and the sanjiao (three areas of the body cavity).
Zang and fu are classified by the different features of their functions. The five zang organs mainly manufacture and store essence: qi, blood, and body fluid.
The six fu organs mainly receive and digest food, absorb nutrient substances, transmit and excrete wastes. The five zang organs store up essential qi and regulate its outflow. The six fu organs transform and transport substances without storing them and for this reason they may be over-filled but cannot be filled to capacity.

Based on Zang and Fu organ concept, we have formulated this GABA Rainbow porridge, which will nourish our body with the natural superb phyto-nutrients and chemicals.

1.Barley (Metal – lungs- White)
Barley and gluten
Barley contain gluten, on average, barley contains about 5% to 8% gluten. Individuals who are concerned about gluten should check with their health care advisor for more information. (The gluten in the GABA Rainbow Porridge is less than 2%)
Vitamins and minerals
Barley contains several vitamins and minerals including niacin (Vitamin B3), thiamine ( Vitamin B1), selenium, iron, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus and copper.
Antioxidants
Barley contains antioxidants, which are work to slow down the rate of oxidative damage by gathering up free radicals that form when body cells use oxygen.
Barley fights diabetes
Type 2 diabetes and pre-diabetes can be controlled and even prevented.  It’s a matter of making some simple but important lifestyle choices including losing weight, increasing physical activity and including plenty of whole grain, high fiber foods such as barley in the daily diet.
Barley is an excellent food choice for type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes because the grain contains essential vitamins and minerals and is an excellent source of dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan soluble fiber. which promotes healthy blood sugar by slowing glucose absorption. 
Fiber
Barley is a great source of dietary fiber and actually contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber promotes heart health
      Soluble fiber has been found to be effective in lowering blood cholesterol. This type of fiber mixes with liquid and binds to fatty substances to help remove them from the body. Besides, Soluble fiber is effective in lowering blood cholesterol and can reduce the risk of heart disease.  Soluble fiber is also beneficial in slowing the absorption of sugar and reducing the risk for developing type 2 or non-insulin-dependent diabetes. 
The insoluble fiber found in barley may be beneficial in helping the body maintain regular bowel function.  Insoluble fiber may also help lower the risk for certain cancers such as colon cancer.

As such , promoting natural healthy food like GABA Rainbow Porridge shall be encouraged among ourselves.
2. Mung beans
The ancient Chinese used mung beans for culinary and medicinal purposes such as dispelling heat and detoxifying the body. Today mung beans are still being used for culinary and health purposes due to the beans’ high nutritional content and value.

Cholesterol
If you have high cholesterol you may benefit from eating mung beans daily. Mung beans are low in cholesterol and high in soluble dietary fibers. Dietary fiber comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber aids in normalizing bowl movements, but it does not do much for lowering blood pressure. Soluble fiber when mixed with water in the digestive tract will form a gel-like material, which in turn aids in supporting essential bodily functions.
Foods rich in soluble dietary fibers are shown to help lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) by encouraging the production of LDL receptors that are responsible for removing excess LDL cholesterol out of the blood stream. It is recommended to consume 10 to 25 g of soluble fiber per day to reduce the amount of LDL cholesterol. Mung beans contain 1.9 g of total dietary fiber per cup. Mung beans may be combined with other dietary fiber-rich foods to further lower LDL cholesterol levels.
Breast Cancer
Mung and other type of beans contain protease inhibitors. Protease inhibitors slow the replication of certain cancer cells including those found in breast cancer. Protease inhibitors are known to block and prevent formation of tumor cells.
Post-Menopause
Beans such as the mung bean variety contain isoflavone nutrients. Isoflavones help regulate hormonal activity. Isoflavones are a class of phytoestrogen, making mung beans estrogenic in nature. Mung beans contain about 495.1 µg of phytoestrogen content, making mung beans a good source of phytoestrogen.
In a 12-week trial, phytoestrogen was shown to relieve hot flashes that are often disruptive and unpleasant. Potentially taking 90 mg per day of phytoestrogens may benefit post-menopausal women in preventing the often devastating effects of osteoporosis by stimulating bone formation.
Diabetes
Mung beans are a low glycemic index food, which means the beans are a diabetic friendly food. Low glycemic foods promote healthy blood sugar levels. People who eat foods that have a low glycemic index tend to have lower total body fat levels as opposed to those who consume high-glycemic foods, such as white bread and soft drinks. In recent studies, mung beans have shown promise in reducing blood glucose, plasma C-peptide, glucagon and blood urea nitrogen levels in non-human type-2 diabetic subjects. In the study, mung bean sprouts and mung bean seed coats were consumed for a total of five weeks before reaching a conclusion.
Protein
Mung beans contain approximately 3.16 g of protein per cup. While meat is still one of the best sources of protein at 7 g per ounce, mung beans and vegetable based foods have far less saturated fat and cholesterol than certain meats.

3. Black rice (Water- Kidneys-black)
Black Glutinous rice - could be one of the greatest "superfoods". The whole grain is low in sugar but packed with healthy fibre and plant compounds that combat heart disease and cancer. The black rice bran contains water-soluble anthocyanin which is high in fibre and vitamin E antioxidants.
Anthocyanins are the natural plant colorants,is the scavenges free radicals and also suppresses low-density lipoprotein molecules, the so-called bad fat cells.Research suggests that plant antioxidants, which mop up harmful molecules, can help protect arteries and prevent the DNA damage that leads to cancer.In addition, black rice is rich in the following minerals such as Manganese (120% RDA),Phosphorous (20% RDA),Magnesium (20% RDA)and Molybdenum (35% RDA) which are important for the body system as a whole.
4. Red Rice (Fire- Red – Heart)

Germinated Red rice, also called Chinese red yeast rice, is derived from yeast or Monascuu purpureus grown on rice, monacolins in red yeast rice work to inhibit cholesterol formation. Monacolin K is a powerful component that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, a group of prescription drugs used to lower cholesterol. Red rise may benefit people with high cholesterol, coronary artery disease or diabetes.
 Purple rice (Fire-Heart – Red)
Oxidative stress is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of this condition. Therefore, the cognition-enhancing and neuroprotective effects of rice berry (Oryza sativa), a purple-pigmented rice that is rich in anthrocynins.The researchers suggested that rice berry has potential as an effective agent for neurodegeneration and memory impairment in Alzheimers”s disease.   

5. Brown Rice (Earth - stomach, spleen, and pancreas-Yellowish)
Germinated Brown rice has a rich source of (GABA)

Gamma-aminobutyric acid functions as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, decreasing neuron activity thus preventing them from over firing. With niacinamide (B3) and inositol, GABA prevents anxiety and stress-related messages from reaching the motor centers of the brain, and is essential for brain metabolism.

Germinated brown rice contain Tryptophan ,is one of the 10 essential amino acids that the body uses to synthesize the proteins it needs. It's well-known for its role in the production of nervous system messengers, especially those related to relaxation, restfulness, and sleep.
Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid and is present in most foods, most notably in high-protein foods such as meat, eggs, cheese and milk. This amino acid supplies  the brain with the raw materials it needs to function properly, and has an effect on the chemistry of the brain. Phenylalanine cannot be manufactured in our body so we must get it from the foods we eat, intake germinated brown rice is one way to increase this important amino acid.
6.Yellow Corn
Nutrients
Corn is very good source of vitamin B1 (thiamine). It’s a good source of vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), vitamins C and E, folic acid, dietary fiber, essential fatty acids, and the minerals magnesium and phosphorus.

Glycemic Index (GI)
In a study to determine an estimation of the GI of various foods, it was concluded that sweet corn has a  medium GI of 60.
Eye Health
Zeaxanthin is the pigment that produces the yellow color in corns. According to research done at the Harvard Medical School, the carotenoid called zeaxanthin is essential to protect the retina from damaging effects of light. Lutein and zeaxanthin usually are found together and both these carotenoid are essential nutrients to avoid the risk of eye degeneration.

Alzheimer’s
A study has shown that moderately severe Alzheimer’s patients had much lower plasma levels of lutein and beta-carotene, compared to mild Alzheimer’s patients. These findings suggest increasing intake of lutein and beta-carotene rich foods to slow the rate of cognitive decline.
One of the other health benefits of corn is in the contents of the B vitamins especially folate. Folate may reduce neural tube defect which are defects affecting the brain and spinal cord. Women who are capable of getting pregnant should take adequate amount of folate.

Cancer
Corn has a high beta_ cryptoxanthin content, a carotenoid with antioxidant properties. An observational study in Singapore has shown that high levels of dietary beta-cryptoxanthin were associated with reduced risk of lung cancer
