[Sake and diabetes] Sugar content in liquor

Sugar and spoon

In order to avoid liver function deterioration, it is necessary to reduce alcohol intake.People who need sugar restriction need to control sugar intake. Therefore, it may be useful for health management if we know a certain amount of sugar contained in alcoholic beverages we drink daily.

Carbohydrate (carbohydrate) content in various liquors

The table below compares the alcohol content, sugar content, and energy content of typical Japanese liquors. The standard value is the amount (ml) including “1 daily alcohol intake 20g for healthy drinking” recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.

The figures in the table are from the Ministry of Education(1)”Was referenced.

Carbohydrate is the amount of carbohydrates minus dietary fiber, but alcoholic beverages do not contain dietary fiber, so the amount of carbohydrates in the database is displayed as the sugar mass.

In addition, please note that the amount of alcohol and carbohydrates vary depending on the manufacturer's product.

(Limited amount of alcohol recommended by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare 20g / amount of alcohol worth 1 day)

 Type of liquor Liquor dose (ml)

Carbohydrate (carbohydrate) content (g)

Energy amount (kcal)

Sake (Pure Rice Sake)  162 5.8 167
Beer light 540 16.7 216
Red wine 215 3.2 157
Distilled spirits  68 0.0 140
酎 High lemon flavor 360 10.4 182
whisky  60 0.0 142
Plum wine 196 40.6 306

By the way, the sugar mass per 100ml of sake and beer is

・ Pure rice liquor: 3.6g
・ Beer: 3.1g

There is not much difference.

The point I want to pay attention to is the difference in the pace of drinking.

Sugar content changes with the pace of drinking

If it is a beer, it will be drunk up as soon as 100ml. There are many people who finish drinking 500ml1 bottles in a short time.

But,In the case of sake, you can pour it in your mouth and taste it little by little..Depending on the person, you can enjoy 180 with sake 1ml (30).

So, what is the difference in sugar between “beer bottle” and “Japan 1”?

・ Sugar (carbohydrate) in XUMX Junmaishu: 1g
・ Sugar (carbohydrate) in beer bottle: 15.5g

The difference isAbout XNUM X g.Beer has more sugar than sakeIt is. with this,It was wrong to say that drinking Japanese sake tends to cause diabetesI understand this.

By the way, are you worried about the amount of carbohydrate intake that is said to be less likely to cause diabetes, that is, how much alcohol you can drink without worrying about diabetes?

[Sake and diabetes] The amount of carbohydrates that can be taken on 1 days

Before calculating the amount of carbohydrates you need to eat on 1 days, let me explain the current state of diabetes in Japan.

Diabetes reserve is increasing

According to the “Heisei 19 National Health and Nutrition Survey Report” published by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the total of “people who are strongly suspected of diabetes” and “people who cannot deny the possibility of diabetes” is about 2,210 million. 14 million people have increased since the previous survey in Heisei 590 and are expected to continue to increase in the future.(2).

In addition, this figure is "Of 40 people older than 3, 1 may develop diabetes"Also shows.

Diabetes, which can cause complications such as cerebrovascular disorders, progresses quietly in the body without subjective symptoms. So how can you avoid diabetes?

As you all know, reducing carbohydrate intake. Exercise is also effective, but it is necessary to change the diet that supports human activities.

As for diabetes prevention methods, carbohydrate restriction is the mainstream ...

In the past, caloric restriction was recommended for diets to prevent diabetes. However, the current mainstream is carbohydrate restriction. In other words, rather than restricting calories on 1 days, refraining from consuming carbohydrates is said to be more effective in preventing diabetes.

If you read so far, you may be amazed that "... is it better to stop alcoholic beverages that contain sugar?" No, do n’t worry!

In short, don't drink too much. Besides, if you restrict too much carbohydrates, it will be harmful to your health..

It is unhealthy if you restrict too much! Some carbohydrates are needed to stay healthy

Saying “refrain from carbohydrate intake” does not mean that you should reduce carbohydrates from your daily diet as much as possible.

Recently, `` Low carbohydrate diet with less than 40% carbohydrate and high carbohydrate diet with more than 70% are associated with increased risk of death ''(3)Has been announced. That meansThe risk of death increases with too little or too much carbohydrate,about it. In this study,Optimal carbohydrate amount is 1 to 50% of calories in 55 daysRecommended.

Do you know how many calories you are consuming on 1 days? You can determine the approximate calorie count by gender and age, but individual calorie counts can vary greatly depending on the amount of exercise and type of work.

Below is an easy way to calculate how many calories you need on a 1 day. Know how many calories you need and know how many grams of carbohydrates you should have on 1 days.

Case Study: Optimal Carbohydrate Content for 30 Office Worker Women

Female businessman receiving a phone call

Let's take an example of an office work woman who does not move much in the 30 generation. Assume her weight is 50kg. The calorie she consumes in 1 days can be found from the following calculation.

How to calculate calories burned on 1 days

  • A round trip to the office with 30 minutes:95kcal(Calculated as Mets 3.5 × Time 0.5 × Weight 50)
  • 8 hours for light office work:600kcal(Mets 1.5 × time 8 × weight 50)
  • Basal metabolism:1085kcal(30 female basal metabolism reference value 21.7 × body weight 50)

(* The above figures are calories burned for 30 walking or sitting office work. Usually, there are many more activities. Mets and calories burned in more detail. For those who want to know about the program, “Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare”(4)Please calculate with reference to

The minimum calorie intake required for 1 days is approximately 1780kcal. Of these, 50 to 55kcal, which is between 890% and 979%, must be supplemented with carbohydrates.

Let's calculate the amount of carbohydrates from this calorie count.

Calculation method to know the amount of carbohydrates required from calories burned

炭水化物1gは4kcalですから、890kcal÷4kcal=222、979kcal÷4kcal=245になります。ということは、この女性が1日に必要な炭水化物量は222g〜245gになります。

I explained earlier that 1 sake contains 6g carbohydrates. That meansSAKE 1 is only the amount of 1 / 1 of carbohydrate in 40 days. 1 / 40 amount of sake cannot cause diabetes. So,If you don't drink too much, you won't increase your risk of diabetesIs.

[Sake and Diabetes] I can't say "I don't drink alcohol is better for health" !?

Can't say "It's better not to drink alcohol" !?

Sake has the effect of relieving 1 days of stress. Did you know that “stress” is listed as one of the causes of diabetes?

If you forcibly endure the desire to drink sake because you're afraid of diabetes .... It may be healthier to enjoy the right amount of sake and be freed from mental stress than to try hardIsn't it?

In addition, sake has some nice features that no other sake has!

A by-product produced when squeezing sakeSake lees”Turned out to contain substances that lower blood sugar levelsIs doing.

Sake also contains substances that prevent diabetes !?

The “blood sugar spike” that I have heard a lot recently. It is also said that the rapid increase in blood glucose after eating generates active oxygen and damages blood vessels.

Substances that interfere with the function of α-amylase

However,Sake lees contain substances that interfere with the action of α-amylase. α-Amylase is an enzyme that promotes starch digestion.

Digestion-inhibiting substances in sake lees work to slow down the rate of carbohydrate degradation, reducing the rapid rise in blood sugar and the rapid release of insulin, resulting in diabetes prevention.Work as

Sake lees are mainly made from steamed rice, yeast, and koji, and are rich in nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, peptides, and vitamins! After squeezing sake, sake squeezed is sake lees, so sake has the same function as sake leesIt is considered.

さ ら に,In sake, there is also a substance called ethyl α_D_glucoside, which delays the peak time of insulin secretion and suppresses weight gain.There is also research with(5). Ethyl α_D_glucoside is the most abundant in sake.

That's why we don't recommend drinking a lot. Please observe the proper amount to the last.

Saccharide-free sake, which is said to be the savior of such people, has been released.

“Zero” may be displayed when the carbohydrate / sugar content is less than 100g per 0.5ml. Even if it is not completely 0.0g, it can be displayed as `` zero '', so `` Sake near zero, not zero ''It ’s better to understand.

Summary of [Sake and Diabetes]: How to choose sake from the word of mouth with zero sugar

 

In the word of mouth, there is a description that the husband's waist size has been reduced, but according to the laurel wreath, the carbohydrate zero pack 100ml is 79kcal. Because there is a calorie, you can not expect a diet effect. On the other hand, there is a possibility of drinking too much with peace of mind that “because it is zero”.

In the case of a wife purchasing in consideration of her husband's health, his wife's popular reviews stand out. However, there was a review saying that they were beaten by saying, “Don't buy these things again”.

The men who are accustomed to delicious sake have always been dry (meaning negative). It is speculated that people who know the deliciousness of sake are not satisfied with the taste of zero-sugar sake.

Although it is numerically a "good sake for health", it is just a frustration if you can't drink sake that is truly delicious! If 100ml contains less than 0.5g of sugar, it means that if you drink a large amount, you may get some sugar. Although the amount of sugar is small, it does not affect health, but it is undeniable that the liver may be damaged due to excessive alcohol and calories, and fattening.

As you know, delicious food is a little satisfying, but if you feel that your brain is not delicious, you tend to be satisfied with the amount.

alsoEnjoying high-quality sake with a sense of happiness makes you feel happy and contributes to your healthIsn't it?
