Can diabetics drink rice wine?

Although people's quality of life is getting better and better nowadays, they are also getting busier at work and have more and more social engagements. During these social engagements, wine is always an indispensable drink on the table. But what should we do when there is a diabetic among the social gatherings? As we all know, diabetic patients need to control their diet and drinking to avoid blood sugar problems, which will affect their condition!

So, when faced with social gatherings where alcohol is indispensable, what should diabetics do? Some people now suggest that diabetics can choose to drink rice wine when attending social gatherings, because rice wine is different from other alcoholic beverages and is harmless to diabetics. So what is the truth?

Health experts believe that rice wine itself is a warm food (Tip: Food can be simply divided into five properties: cold, cool, warm, hot, and neutral). Warm food: Pharmacologically, it has the effects of warming the middle, assisting yang, and dispersing cold, and is often used for cold diseases.) Some diabetic patients have yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, or phlegm-damp constitution (Tip: The human body can be simply divided into six disease-prone constitutions: yin deficiency, yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, phlegm-dampness, blood stasis, and qi stagnation). People with yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency, or phlegm-damp constitution suffer from "cold" symptoms such as fear of cold, indigestion, or puffiness, and they all avoid cold foods. Therefore, the warm nature of rice wine can neutralize the "cold" symptoms in diabetic patients. Therefore, people with diabetes can drink warm foods such as rice wine.

What are the warm foods? Such as snow lotus tea, white jasmine tea, calendula tea, goat milk, orchid vanilla tea, rose tea, coffee, wisteria tea, osmanthus tea, magnolia tea, lotus tea, rosemary tea, black tea, magnolia tea, white wine, etc. These warm foods are all allowed for diabetics to drink, but what can't diabetics drink?

As mentioned above, people with yang deficiency, qi and blood deficiency or phlegm-dampness constitution may suffer from diabetes. It can be seen from people with this constitution that they are not suitable for drinking cold foods (Tip: Cold foods: pharmacologically speaking, they are yin, have the effects of clearing heat, purging fire, cooling blood, detoxifying, etc., and are mostly suitable for febrile diseases). The more cold foods you drink, the more likely it is to increase the burden on your body. Therefore, people with diabetes should not drink cold food.

So what are the cold foods? Such as marigold tea, royal jelly, rhubarb tea, oroxylum tea, lily tea, kapok tea, milk, trumpet creeper tea, hops, honeysuckle tea, nasturtium tea, milk (slightly cool), honey, Gynostemma pentaphyllum tea, and indigo leaf tea.

Through the above detailed introduction, let everyone clearly understand: it is completely okay for diabetics to drink rice wine. As long as diabetics can control their diet well and eat regularly in daily life, keep their body and mind happy and cooperate with the doctor's treatment, their physical condition will definitely improve slowly. There is no need to be too nervous!
