The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and the streets and alleys are filled with the smell of zongzi. Zongzi is made of glutinous rice, with too much salt and sugar and high calories. So people who lose weight should avoid eating zongzi, and if they really want to eat it, don't eat more than one.

Can I eat zongzi during my weight loss?

You'd better not eat it. Zongzi is mostly made of glutinous rice, which is highly viscous, difficult to digest, lacking in fiber and high in fat, salt and sugar. An ordinary bacon zongzi contains about a bowl of rice with about 400 to 500 calories. Zongzi is a fattening food, and its calories are mostly high. However, if you eat a small amount, you won't gain weight. But if you eat too much, you will definitely gain weight. Friends who lose weight had better eat less or not.

Patients with gastrointestinal diseases should not eat zongzi.

Glutinous rice is warm and stagnant, and contains many and long plant fibers. Eating too much will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Especially people with stomach diseases and duodenal ulcers, if they eat zongzi gluttonously, it is likely to cause ulcer perforation and bleeding, which will aggravate the condition. Some people like to put zongzi in the refrigerator for a while before eating. Such zongzi is hard and cold, which is undoubtedly worse for patients with stomach diseases.

Pay attention to buying zongzi.

When buying zongzi, you should also pay attention to the "turning green leaves":

1, look at the color: the color is green, and the surface is bright, because the primary color leaves are generally dark and yellow after cooking.

2. Smell: The primary leaves smell faint fragrance, while the green leaves are not only not fragrant, but also have a faint sulfur smell.

Don't put the zongzi for too long.

Zongzi is not suitable for long-term frozen storage. This kind of food should not be stored for a long time. You should finish it as soon as possible. But there are a lot of zongzi left after the Dragon Boat Festival, and I don't really want to eat it for a while. The remaining zongzi can also be cooked in different ways, such as frying the zongzi at home and eating it differently, which will naturally be destroyed. Zongzi is not easy to eat cold, and sticky food is not easy to digest. If you eat it cold again, it will increase the burden on your stomach.
