Urad Dal For Diabetes: The number of diabetes patients is very high in the whole world including India, apart from genetic reasons, the deteriorating lifestyle and wrong eating habits of the present time are largely responsible for this. Diabetes patients are often advised to take a protein diet, for this eating chicken and fish is a bit risky because a lot of oil is used in cooking them. If you consume urad dal instead of this, then it will be much better for your health.
Nutrients found in urad dal
Dietician Aayushi Yadav said that urad dal is considered a rich source of protein. Apart from this, potassium, iron, folate and calcium are also found in abundance in it, which is beneficial not only for diabetes patients but for everyone's health. The essential amino acids present in urad dal play an important role in the functions of the body.
Urad dal is beneficial for diabetes
Urad dal comes in two forms, if it is eaten with the peel then its colour appears both black and yellow. Many people also eat it without peel. It contains a lot of protein and dietary fibre, with the help of which it becomes easy to manage blood sugar level.
Research carried out across the world has shown that when fibre is consumed along with a healthy and balanced diet, the blood glucose levels remain under control as this nutrient reduces the absorption of sugar in the blood, thereby maintaining the good health of the patient.
A healthy way to eat urad dal
You should cook urad dal like normal dal by adding water, salt and turmeric. Do not add any kind of tadka to this dal as it may prove harmful due to the increased amount of oil. Urad dal is usually used to make vada which is a South Indian dish, but diabetic patients should avoid it as a lot of oil is used in frying the vada. Fried items are not good for your health.
