JCEM: A study by Harbin Medical University found that diabetics should eat potatoes in the morning and dark vegetables in the evening!

Recently, scholars from Harbin Medical University analyzed the data of 4,642 diabetic patients from the American Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and found that if you have diabetes, eating starchy vegetables such as potatoes in the morning and dark vegetables such as broccoli and milk at night can prevent cardiovascular disease.

Therefore, "starchy vegetables such as potatoes are high in carbohydrates and, therefore, following more carbohydrate intake in the morning, are more biorhythmic and may contribute to glucose control

Therefore, a higher intake of dark vegetables at night is consistent with the population rhythm of this type of bacteria, which stimulates them to produce more short-chain fatty acids, which promotes the nutrient metabolism process

Processed meats, which are relatively high in saturated fatty acids, are associated with cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, and eating more processed meats in the evening may further increase nighttime inflammation levels

The researchers pointed out that diabetic patients are under the biological rhythm of glucose metabolism disorder, and the timing of food intake is as important as maintaining the quantity and quality of a healthy diet
