Why are there more and more young 'sugar friends'? Reminder: Most of these factors are behind the scenes
According to a 19-year survey by the International Diabetes Federation, there are 493 million people with diabetes in the world, aged 20-79 , and 90% of them are type 2 diabetes patients .
According to this data, on average, one in 11 adults has diabetes.
Moreover, it seems that diabetes is no longer the patent of the elderly, and it is not uncommon for young and middle-aged people to suffer from diabetes in clinical practice. Many people blame genetics for the risk of type 2 diabetes in young and middle-aged people. Although type 2 diabetes is indeed related to heredity, its onset is also influenced by many acquired factors.
What we want to focus on here is actually bad living and eating habits, such as the following points that cannot be ignored:
1. An unhealthy diet
Contemporary young people can be said to be unrestrained in their diet, and there are more and more foods and fast food available on the market today. In order to cater to people's tastes, these foods are basically high in oil, calories and sugar . type.
As everyone knows, long-term overeating, excessive calorie intake, and overeating will not only lead to the appearance of obesity, but also disrupt the body's metabolism and promote the excessive secretion of insulin. Over time, the body can develop insulin resistance and impaired pancreatic islet function, which in turn lays hidden dangers for the onset of diabetes;
2. Sedentary
With the rapid development of industry, more and more jobs can be done by just sitting and operating machines and computers every day. Affected by the popularization and development of electronic products, Chinese residents spend about 10 hours of sedentary time every day, leaving very limited time for exercise.
As everyone knows, obesity caused by long-term sedentary, eating too much and other factors is precisely the main risk environmental factor that induces type 2 diabetes . Maintaining regular and reasonable exercise can not only consume fat, but also improve the sensitivity of cells to insulin, which in turn has the effect of losing weight;
3. Irregular work and rest
Relevant studies have pointed out that if the long-term sleep time is less than 6 hours, the risk of diabetes will increase by as much as 2 times compared with the normal sleep group. The reason for this is that long-term insomnia and staying up late will lead to a large amount of norepinephrine secretion, which will promote vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure.
At the same time, during the process of staying up late, the sympathetic nerves of the hypothalamus are highly excited, which will also promote the large secretion of catecholamines, resulting in the inhibition of insulin secretion, which is not conducive to the metabolism of blood sugar .
Studies have shown that the younger the age of onset of diabetes, the worse the prognosis and the younger the age of complications. You must know that the most terrifying part of diabetes is that it has various complications, and even patients will have amputations, blindness and death due to complications.
Therefore, everyone should be aware of the harm of diabetes, it is necessary to stay away from the above bad habits and conduct blood sugar tests regularly.
