Medical Video: Atasi Diabetes dengan Ketofastosis
According to the results of the Riskesdas (Basic Health Research) study from the Indonesian Ministry of Health in 2013, around 12 million Indonesians over the age of 15 have type 2 diabetes. But only 26 percent have been diagnosed, while the rest do not realize they have type 2 diabetes.
The habits of Indonesians who become triggers for diabetes
According to the International Diabetes Federation in 2015, the number of people with diabetes in Indonesia is estimated to reach 10 million people with an age range of 20-79 years. However, only half of them are aware of his condition. This number is not a small number.
So, why are there many Indonesians who have diabetes? Some of this might be the answer to the cause of diabetes in Indonesian people.
1. Eat rice three times a day
White rice is a staple food of Indonesian people. But unfortunately, according to the latest rice research it turns out that high risk increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
A study found that people who ate white rice more than five times a week had a 17 percent higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than those who only ate rice once a month.
The study also reported that this risk would increase by 10 percent in people who eat large amounts of white rice every day. This association is found especially in Asian people who can consume rice up to 3-4 servings a day.
This research actually has not been able to prove the cause, but rice is a form of simple carbohydrates that are easily digested by the body. The white rice glycemic index score is also quite high, which is around 86, compared to other staple foods such as brown rice (55). These two factors can make a food increase blood sugar quickly.
2. Hobbies freaking out and drinking coffee
Not tea or coffee that causes diabetes, but how much the sugar you put in the cup increases your risk. Especially if you are a hobby freaking out and drinking coffee all day long.
The addition of sugar is not limited to casual afternoon drinks, but almost all the foods you normally encounter. Just look at various soft foods and drinks, from those sold on the roadside to those in big malls. Almost all of the food and drinks are added sugar to make it taste delicious.
Sugar is a type of simple carbohydrate that can quickly raise blood sugar. Be it granulated sugar, rock sugar, syrup sugar, or other types of artificial sugar. Excessive consumption of sugar still risks leading someone to overweight or obesity, the Pthere finally increases the chances of developing type 2 diabetes.
3. Lazy motion
Indonesians are the laziest on foot. At least that is the finding of a number of US scientists who study mobile data from hundreds of thousands of people around the world. The researchers from Stanford University used minute-per-minute data from 700,000 people who used Argus, an activity monitoring application, on their cellphones.
As a result, Hong Kong residents topped the list of the most diligent residents on foot. The average Hong Kong public walks 6,880 steps every day. As for most residents lazy to walk in the world are Indonesians who are at the bottom with a record of only 3,513 steps per day.
Although it is convenient to carry out activities while sitting, there are actually hidden threats to health.If you mostly sit, the use of large muscles in the body will decrease. As a result, the body's need for sugar and fat decreases because the body thinks you don't need energy.
Even though you don't use a lot of muscle, calorie intake generally won't decrease. This can result in fat accumulation, increased blood sugar levels, and also cholesterol. Over time there will be a disorder of blood sugar tolerance, which triggers diabetes. Meanwhile, high cholesterol levels are at risk of triggering heart disease and stroke.
So, it's not surprising, right, if a lifestyle like this can be a cause of diabetes in Indonesian people?
