我58岁,不久前被确诊为2型糖尿病,开始服药治疗。最近听朋友讲夏季吃苦瓜可以祛火消暑,还能降血糖,并代替药物降糖。请问他的话有道理吗?湖北马建国马建国读者:苦瓜中含有苦瓜甙,苦味素,是蔬菜中唯一叫“苦”而具特色的瓜果菜。苦瓜虽苦,但味苦性凉、爽口不腻,吃后会觉凉爽舒适。夏季,人们因炎热不思饮食时,若用苦瓜做菜佐食可获开胃爽口、祛暑清心之效。若以苦瓜泡制茶饮用,也能使人消暑逸神、烦渴顿消。 I am 58 years old and recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and started taking medication. Listen to a friend recently told the summer to eat bitter gourd can eliminate fire and summer heat, but also hypoglycemic, and instead of drugs hypoglycemic. May I ask his words makes sense? Hubei Ma Jianguo Ma Jianguo readers: Bitter melon contains bitter glycosides, bitter, is the only vegetable called “bitter” and unique fruit and vegetable dishes. Bitter gourd though bitter, but bitter cold, refreshing not greasy, will feel cool and comfortable after eating. In summer, when people think of eating because of the heat, if you use bitter gourd to make food and serve the appetizer, Qushu can clear your heart. If bitter melon brewing tea, but also make people summer heat, polydipsia eliminate.
