Share this video, let's try to increase this chain of goodness, help more and more
people, which is what I really want with my work. Guys, a lot of people ask me in the comments
from my other diabetes videos, to talk more about juices because people always
have any idea that juice is a very cool, very natural, very healthy thing, it has
the green juice trend, people want to drink it, and they wonder: “will I, as a diabetic,
Can I drink Patricia?”, “Is there any juice that will harm me?”, “Will it be
that there is some combination that will improve diabetes?” And I said: I'm going to create a video,
specifically talking about juices for diabetics, let's get started then. Guys, juice really is a bit contradictory,
for some diabetics, because many people want to take it and few people can because it alters
a lot of blood sugar.. Normally, when I talk about juice, what juice do you think of?
Orange juice, right? People say, “I’m going to have some juice for lunch.”
think about orange juice. This juice, specifically, these juices, I'll explain a little better,
you have to be careful because orange juice is normally made, or with the squeezed orange,
right, in that juicer, or the processed orange, there are some machines on the street that already enter
the whole orange and only that juice comes out, because there is pulp, everything stays there. And, finally,
it's complicated because when you think about orange juice, sometimes you use 3 oranges,
4 to make a glass of juice. And you wouldn't eat 4 oranges together for lunch, together
of a dinner, because the orange has carbohydrates, right, the fruit itself, depending on the fruit, has
between 15 and 20 grams of carbohydrates per serving, which ends up being a significant amount,
especially for diabetics, who need to have better control over their blood sugar levels. And if
you already put in a meal that has rice, that has beans, that has vegetables, you put
an orange juice with 40 grams of carbohydrates per glass is really too much
for you to consume, and it is counterproductive because it has no fiber, it will give a lot of spike
of glucose, your blood sugar will increase very quickly, you will end up becoming unbalanced.
You'll say: "Wow, all this because of that little juice." So, you have to
be careful. Likewise, pineapple juice, melon juice, tangerine juice, all of these
juices that you normally put in the centrifuge 2, 3 fruits and 1 glass comes out on the other side, there are
to be careful because it would be as if you were consuming 2, 3 whole fruits.
Without the fiber and without the bagasse, which will increase your glucose even faster. So,
you have to be aware of this. With this, I want to tell you that diabetics have to start
meal completely dry, or that he should not drink anything? No. There are some
options: you can either go for water, which will change your blood sugar levels to zero. Water with
gas is a good option, you can even put 1 lemon slice, 1 lime slice
from Persia, to give you a taste, it won't change your blood sugar levels at all. And they have
other juices, which are actually soft drinks, are not juices, I will explain the difference,
that can be used without much concern. The main difference between juice and soft drink
is that the juice is made with the fruit, with the vegetable in its entirety, without the addition of
water. And the soft drink is made with the same thing, or with the fruit or the vegetable, added
of water, it is diluted. So if you make for example a lemon soda, a
lemonade, is a good option. I don't tell you to make lemon juice because no one
can handle drinking 1 glass of lemon juice, because it is super acidic. But lemon, lime, and even
even passion fruit, alters blood glucose levels very little. Mainly because they are very citrusy juices,
very acidic, and we can't drink it in juice form, we have to dilute it
and take it as a soft drink. And then, in this case, the diabetic can sweeten it, if necessary.
I like him, if it is an issue that he finds important to be able to consume the juice,
you can add a little sweetener to sweeten the juice. Always remember that
no type of sugar is recommended for diabetics: neither brown sugar nor sugar
demerara, nor coconut sugar because they all impact blood sugar, and some,
with a lower glycemic index, like coconut sugar, but they also contain
carbohydrates, and therefore can unbalance blood glucose levels. So, the ideal is that the
diabetics use a non-caloric sweetener, such as non-energetic, such as xylitol, as
stevia or sucralose are safer options for diabetics. So, taking
a passion fruit soda or a lemon soda, or a Persian lime soda,
that yellow lemon, can be good options to accompany a meal, because
they are super rich in vitamin C, they will help absorb iron, the amount of
calories are very low, it won't have an impact on your blood sugar. Now you're saying: "oh, so everything
Well, Patricia. So, I already know that during meals, it's best to consume, right,
even 1 glass of these juices, great.” But, what if you are in that group that is
wanting to use green juice, right, many people nowadays already want to use green juice,
want to make use of the benefits of combining various vegetables, greens, fruits, spices,
to be able to make a health bomb to take, right, I already have my health shots (5:54)
of the day, and think “I’m diabetic, I can’t.” That’s because we have to
be careful because some people make green juice in the centrifuge, which means you remove all the juice
the fiber, all the pulp, which is bad, and many people decide to add some vegetables
and stronger condiments, they decide to add a lot of fruit to break up the sweetness a little.
So, in addition to adding cucumber, kale, ginger, lemon, which are allowed to
the diabetic consumes, says: “this is going to be very sour”, then puts 1 apple
plus 1 pear, a piece of banana, and then when you look, you'll have almost
40 grams of carbohydrate, 30 and a few grams of carbohydrate in a green juice, which was supposed to
be healthy, and then in this way it will change your blood sugar. So, how are you going to do it?
your green juice? Actually, you're going to make a green soda, which you're going to mix
there with water, you take, for example, 1 glass of water and you can mix about 3
cabbage leaves, ½ cucumber, a piece of ginger, the juice of 1 lemon, beat all this
in the blender and drink without straining. This way you get a super interesting green juice,
you can even switch it up, one day you make it with kale, one day you make it with broccoli, one
day you make it with, well, watercress, with another type of green, one day you make it with
ginger, one day you make it with cinnamon, cinnamon is very good for diabetics, anyway,
You can change the spices, but always keep the base fruit like lemon.
or Persian lime, because then they won't have as much of an impact on your blood sugar, and they won't
will cause problems with decompensating your diabetes. I don't want to be radical and say
for you who, because you are diabetic, will no longer be able to eat any fruit
in your green juice. I'm talking about a green juice that will have very little impact on
your glucose, in your blood sugar. Now, if you say to me: “Patricia, I
I want to use green juice as an afternoon snack or breakfast, I want to replace
my breakfast for a green juice.” Then, in addition to those ingredients I told you about,
you can, yes, put 1 slice of melon, 1 slice of melon or 1 apple, or 1 pear,
or 1 kiwi, or 1 banana, “or”. If you keep adding a lot of fruit, the fruit
it will be the base, and then it will be a fruit juice with greens, it will no longer be a green juice.
So, always remember that the base will be what I told you: lemon, cucumber,
lettuce, cabbage, in short, the vegetable, and you can add 1 fruit without peeling and without
strain, and then you can use it, counting the carbohydrates, oh, this one has
18, this one has 15 grams of carbohydrates, I already know that this will be more or less mine
breakfast or my afternoon snack, or my supper, anyway. And always remembering too,
People, when we consume fruit juices, right, in general, together
with meals, they will cause your blood sugar to fluctuate less than if you
drink fruit juice, 1 glass of orange juice, for example, in the afternoon. So, it is
less worse for your diabetes if you choose to have a fruit juice if you want
take, “Patricia, today I feel like drinking some melon juice.” It’s better to
you take the melon juice blended with water, as I told you, 1 slice of blended melon
with unsweetened water, with lunch or with dinner, than in the middle of the afternoon,
pure, because then the protein, fiber and fat from lunch and dinner will help
to slow down the absorption of this juice, less decompensating the glycemia. Another special idea for you to do
of juice for diabetics, for diabetes, you combine a tea that is a tea
good for diabetes, with some of those fruits I told you about, which don't alter the
blood sugar, or even with a piece of fruit with a few more calories, I'll explain.
For example: you can take a hibiscus tea, which we know helps to control it better.
diabetes, and add 2 chopped strawberries, more or less, it will be a juice
strawberry with hibiscus, you can sweeten it, it's super tasty. Or for example, you
You can take a cinnamon tea and mix it with a slice of pineapple, it's also super tasty.
I have a video talking about the best teas for diabetes, so you can watch it
and try to make some combinations. Always remember to mix a single portion with the tea
of fruit, so you can get that drink I mentioned, and never strain it. That way, if
You are one of those people who thinks that “ah, soda is too watery, I don’t
taste”, you will be able to get a little of the tea flavor to lift the juice, and it will
It will taste really good and will have many benefits for you. And a golden tip that I left for last:
If you want to make a green juice as a snack, to nourish you even more, in addition
to put that fruit, a single portion of fruit with the vegetables, with the condiments,
right, I told you there that they are more interesting, even with tea as a base, you can add
a little chia, sometimes 1 dessert spoon of chia, mix everything together, chia is wonderful
for diabetics, it really helps control blood sugar levels, it's a food that every diabetic
should consume small portions throughout the day to help control the
glucose. I have a video talking specifically about chia if you want to learn more about it.
