Some people should not eat zongzi

Teacher Qu Min from the Department of Food Engineering of Dalian Fisheries University said that zongzi can hurt people if not eaten properly. Zongzi made with glutinous rice as the main ingredient is not suitable for digestion. Overeating will damage the spleen and stomach and cause symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea. Therefore, the elderly, children and people with poor digestive function should not eat gluttonously. Even those with strong spleen and stomach functions should follow the principle of "eating less and more meals". If you make your own rice dumplings at home during the festival, you should adhere to the principle of "make them now and eat them now". Frozen rice dumplings purchased from the supermarket should be cooked thoroughly before eating. But from a health perspective, some people are not suitable for eating more rice dumplings.

Patients with cardiovascular disease: There are many varieties of rice dumplings, among which meat rice dumplings and lard and bean paste rice dumplings contain a lot of fat and are greasy foods. People with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and coronary heart disease eat too much, which can increase blood viscosity, affect blood circulation, increase heart burden and ischemia, and induce angina pectoris and myocardial infarction.

Elderly people and children: Zongzi is mostly made from glutinous rice and is very sticky. Overeating can easily cause indigestion, hyperacidity, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms for the elderly and children. .

Patients with gastrointestinal diseases: Zongzi will release a gelatinous substance after being steamed, which will increase the load of digestive enzymes after eating. The glutinous rice in Zongzi is warm and stagnates, and contains a lot of plant fiber. Eating too much will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. If patients suffering from gastric disease and duodenal ulcer eat rice dumplings greedily, it is very likely that the ulcer will perforate and bleed, aggravating the condition.

Diabetes patients: Zongzi often contains red dates, bean paste, etc., which have high sugar content. They are usually dipped in sugar when eating.
