5 món ăn sáng giảm nguy cơ tiểu đường

Một bữa sáng có thể ảnh hưởng đến tâm trạng trong ngày của bạn. Bằng việc tiêu thụ ít đường hơn, bạn có thể cải thiện hiệu năng làm việc.

Những món ngũ cốc ăn sáng thường được quảng cáo là tốt cho sức khỏe, nhưng thực lại chứa rất nhiều đường. Một bài nghiên cứu mới đây cho thấy, trẻ em đang ăn nhiều đường gấp đôi mức cần thiết. Điều đáng lo ngại hơn là đường chiếm 13% lượng calorie trẻ em tiếp nhận mỗi ngày, trong khi con số này của người trưởng thành là 12%. Mặc dù ai cũng nhận thức được mối nguy hại của đường, những số liệu này vẫn không có dấu hiệu đi xuống.

Việc tiêu thụ quá nhiều đường có thể dẫn đến những bệnh tim mạch, tiểu đường loại 2 và thậm chí là ung thư. Để cân bằng hormone, giảm cân hay đơn giản là cải thiện sức khỏe, kiểm soát lượng tiêu thụ đường trong mỗi bữa sáng là "chìa khóa".

Ngoài ra, đường còn ảnh hưởng đến năng lượngvà sức đề kháng của cơ thể. Nếu bạn đã quen với việc ăn đồ ngọt, vị giác của bạn sẽ mất thời gian để làm quen. Tuy vậy, chỉ sau một khoảng thời gian ngắngiảm lượng tiêu thụ đường, bạn sẽ cảm thấy sự thay đổi trong vị giác. Ngoài ra, bạn cũng sẽ nhận thấy rõ những lợi ích về mặt sức khỏe.

Nếu bạn hay uống trà hay cà phê đen, bạn đang giảm lượng calorie trong bữa sáng của mình. Mặc dù lượng kem và sữa trong mỗi tách cà phê không nhiều, dần dần lượng calorie thừa sẽ ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe của bạn. Đường, kem hay sy rô ngọt đều có rất nhiều caloire nhưng lại có giá trị dinh dưỡng thấp. Hãy cẩn thận với đồ uống mỗi bữa sáng của bạn.

Dưới đây là 5 món ăn sáng ít đường giúp cơ thể bạn khỏe mạnh hơn:

1. Trứng

5 mon an sang giam nguy co tieu duong hinh anh 1

Trứng là nguồn cung cấp protein rất tốt.

Trứng chần, trứng luộc, ốp la hay trứng rán là những món ăn đơn giản mà ai cũng có thể làm. Khi làm món trứng rán, hãy kết hợp với các loại rau như nấm, cà chua hay rau bina để tăng lượng chất xơ trong bữa ăn.

2. Cháo yến mạch

5 mon an sang giam nguy co tieu duong hinh anh 2

Yến mạch có nhiều chất xơ, protein và omega-3.

Được làm từ nước, sữa bò hay sữa hạnh nhân, một bát cháo yến mạch cung cấp nhiều chất dinh dưỡng quan trọng cho cơ thể bạn. Hãy thêm một thìa hạt chia để tăng lượng chất xơ, protein và Omega-3. Hãy lưu ý là sữa bò có nhiều protein và giúp bạn no lâu hơn. Để thêm phần ngon miệng, bạn có thể cho thêm vài lát táo.

3. Sữa chua

5 mon an sang giam nguy co tieu duong hinh anh 3

Sữa chua khi kết hợp với hoa quả sẽ cung cấp nhiều protein và chất xơ.

Hãy ăn sữa chua Hy Lạp hay sữa chua dừa vì chúng rất giàu protein. Hãy kết hợp với các loại hoa quả như dâu tây, một thìa hạt chia hoặc hạt bí ngô để bổ sung thêm protein và chất xơ.

4. Sinh tố

5 mon an sang giam nguy co tieu duong hinh anh 4

Sinh tố sẽ rất tốt cho sức khỏe nếu bạn biết chọn thành phần.

Cho một vài thìa sữa chua, hạt chia, bơ hạt, kết hợp với 2 loại rau bất kì như rau bina hay cần tâyvà một loại quả theo mùa.Nếu bạn muốn tăng lượng protein, hãy thêm một thìa bột protein nếu cần thiết.

5. Bánh mì nướng

5 mon an sang giam nguy co tieu duong hinh anh 5

Bánh mì nướng với trái bơ là sự kết hợp hoàn hoản để bắt đầu ngày của bạn.

Hãy thêm ớt bột, muối và hạt tiêu, chanh vắt, trái bơ và một ít dầu oliu vào lát bánh mì nướng của bạn. Bạn nên sử dụng loại bánh mì nguyên cám trong bữa sáng của mình.

YAP’s beacon just wants your shopping to be fun

 

IMG_0542

While at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai conference, I had an opportunity to walk through a day like a Yapper, and it’s an eye-opening experience.

Launched in 2014, South Korea-based Yap is a location-based integrated online-to-offline (O2O) commerce and payments platform — and now, that means beacons.

Calling it a “breakthrough innovation for the indolent people of the world,” once deployed in stores or with other outlets, their Yap beacon will broadcast pop-up coupons, offers, memberships, other useful information, as well as an opportunity to purchase, as long as the Android app is installed but not necessarily turned on.

The beacon also uses a unique tone to remind the user and the store of each others whereabouts. It was the first hybrid beacon in Korea, using Bluetooth and ultrasound to communicate with passing users.

YAP and the buying decision

The service is currently available in South Korea and Vietnam, and is coming to China soon. A North American rollout is also expected.

While the U.S. is just getting around to the widespread adoption of not having to swipe decades-old magnetic strip technology stuck to piece of plastic, the battle in the payments arena will likely focus on “beacons versus NFC” in the near future.

YAP may be an concept who’s time is now, especially in North America. What the connected consumer experience looks like for brand-conscious buyers could wind up centering more around payments systems than impulse indulgence.

Being reminded that you’d like to buy something without instant fulfillment could doom some branded IoT technologies to fad status — really, Amazon, how much Play-Doh do we need — rather than actually enabling the impulse decision to purchase with a seamless transaction process.

It may be a consumer’s emotional “chicken and egg” – do we browse for fun and buy because we have money or are we always ready to buy and our financial resources are our only limit? Outstanding credit analysis of the U.S. consumer marketplace might provide clues, but the fewer step needs to incentivize a customer to buy certainly makes that decision to buy much easier.

And, of course, YAP could use the beacon to educate users about wise purchasing choices, too. It will be an interesting to see how technologies like these play out.

​​6 Gross Foods That Are Extremely Healthy For You

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are high in fiber and antioxidants. They are also slimy and yucky. Commonly prepared in liquids or added to moist foods, the tiny seeds develop a gelatinous coating when wet. Although they take some getting used to, the health benefits of chia seeds outweigh their unappealing texture. “The Antioxidants in chia seeds help counteract free radical damage to cells in the body,” says Goldstein. That means they can potentially protect the cell from aging, cancer, heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes. Your body also needs fiber to keep your digestion running smoothly. Chia seeds are excellent to eat when you’re feeling a little constipated. One ounce (about two tablespoons) of chia seeds has 10 grams of fiber, more than a bowl of oatmeal. If you can’t stomach the gooey mouthful, try mixing an ounce of dry chia seeds into your granola, or making this quick and easy salmon rub, for an added punch of fiber and protein.

Bone Marrow

Some regard sucking the gelatinous center of a cow femur as a delicacy. Others turn their nose up at this cornerstone of fine dining. Despite its unappealing character, there are many studies that show benefits of eating bone marrow. Marrow contains the wrinkle-fighting protein collagen, says Goldstein. As we age our bodies produce less collagen, decreasing the elasticity in our skin. Feeling brave? There are many do-it-yourself bone marrow recipes, but first-timers might want to leave it to a skilled chef. Preparing marrow at home is a lesson in butchery and you’ll need a decent tolerance for handling cow parts.

Sardines

A 3-ounce serving of these saltwater swimmers contains essential omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids can help restore a balance from overeating too many omega-6 fats like vegetable, corn and soy oils, Goldstein points out. A 3-ounce serving also contains about 338 percent of your recommended daily dose of vitamin B12. Consumed twice a week, these stinky fish could help prevent vitamin B12 deficiency. Those wary of the taste can top them on pizza or add into some eggs to make the scaly fish more palatable.

Black Pudding

This isn’t really pudding at all, or at least not the conventional dessert pudding you loved as a child. Also known as blood sausage, in some parts of the world, this is a common staple food. Before you get grossed out that this mealy meat is simply made from the solidified blood of swine, consider the healthy gifts it bestows. “Black pudding is a great source for iron and zinc,” says Goldstein. One serving, roughly 2.6 ounces, provides up to 35 percent of your daily iron requirement and about 9 percent of your zinc needs. Black pudding is traditionally made with oatmeal, so it’ll even give you a fiber boost. The brave can flex their culinary fortitude with this traditional black pudding recipe, should you happen to have a quart of pork blood hanging around the kitchen that is.

Kefir

If you’re not a fan of plain yogurt, now you can get that fermented mucilaginous food in liquid form. Kefir is similar to yogurt because they both utilize cultured milk, though kefir is much more fluid, able to be consumed straight from the jug. No spoon needed. A cup of kefir supplies you with about 25 percent of your daily recommendation of calcium and vitamin D, essential for healthy bones and teeth. It’s also loaded with probiotics or healthy bacteria, like lactobacillus and bifidobacteria, both known for aiding digestion and promoting gut health. In a morning rush? Guzzle down a cup of kefir to replace your bowl of cereal.

 

Cow’s Heart

When it coms to this organ meat, the taste and health benefits are similar to steak and lean ground beef. Beef heart is generally more affordable than steak, likely because it’s far less appetizing. Heart is packed with several B vitamins, says Goldstein. “It’s a great way to rack up amino acids that can improve metabolism and it contains compounds that aid the production of collagen and elastin, which helps slow the signs of aging,” she adds. Similar to steak, there are a few ways to prepare and cook bovine hearts. It can be marinated and grilled. Before cooking, it’s also recommended that the heart is rinsed and the fat and connective tissue are trimmed off. One beef heart is about one pound of meat, which will get you about three servings, just enough for some leftovers.
