今の時期、キクイモの新芽が激しく伸び始めます、この新芽を茹でて納豆・鰹節を混ぜ温かいご飯にまぶして糖尿病やビタミン豊富。
キクイモの葉も芋部分と同様にイヌリンを多く含んでいるので。これをほうれん草のように茹でたり、炒めたりすることで、非常に食べやすくなり、卵でとじたりおひたしにするなど。
また健康茶としても用いられており、自宅で簡単に作ることができます。キクイモ芋の葉を茹でて天日で干し、乾燥させて細かく砕けば栄養たっぷりのお茶の葉になるのです。 通常菊芋の葉は販売されていませんので、自宅で栽培している人の特権でしょう。

菊芋・葉の糖尿病予防効果
菊芋は、糖尿病の予防効果があるとされています。糖尿病は現代病の一つであり、年齢に関係なく発症すると言われています。特に４０代を過ぎてからの増加は著しく、これは中性脂肪やメタボリックシンドロームが大きく関係していますので食事などの生活習慣を改善しなければ糖尿病へと繋がってしまいます。糖尿病は一旦発症すると完治しないと言われており一生付き合っていくことになります。もし発症したとしても、症状を今以上に悪化させずできるだけ健康な生活を送ることが必要です。糖尿病は放っておくとさまざまな合併症を引き起こしますので治療を行う場合がありますが、何より大事なのは栄養バランスの取れた食生活なのです。糖尿病予防の食事法は１日３食バランスよく食べ、過食をしないことだと言われていますが、糖尿病予防効果のある食事のバランスと言われてもピンとこない方も多いのではないでしょうか。
一般的にバランスのよい食事とは炭水化物、穀物、食物繊維糖質、豆類を適度に採ることですが、忙しい現代において毎食これを実行することは容易なことではありません。そこで注目されているのが菊芋なのです。菊芋は天然のインシュリンと呼ばれるイヌリンを豊富に含みデンプンをほとんど含まないことから食後の血糖値が上がらないと証明されています。また菊芋は水に非常に溶けやすい食物繊維ですので満腹感を得やすく過食を防ぐこともできるのです。
糖尿病はインシュリンの減少や働きが悪くなることが原因とされていますので、同じような働きを持った菊芋を食事に取り入れることは健康維持に役立ち、糖尿病予防に非常に効果的と言えるでしょう。
