Be careful of your appetite. Zongzi sauce attracts high calories and sodium.
No matter whether it's salty or sweet, many people will be drenched with various sauces. While satisfying their appetite, Lin Yongpei, a nutritionist at Zhongxing Campus of Taipei United Hospital, reminded that not only should we pay attention to the calories, oil content and fiber intake, but also the added sweet and spicy sauce, garlic sauce, soy sauce paste, fructose and honey are all high-calorie foods. Especially salty sauces are not only bad for people who are interested in losing weight, but also for patients with chronic diseases such as hypertension, heart disease and diabetes, the high sodium contained in these sauces is easy to hinder the control of the disease. For sweet and spicy sauce and garlic sauce, each 10 gram of sauce contains 192 mg and 3 12 mg of sodium respectively, while the average person uses it at a time ranging from about 10 to 30 grams, which is equivalent to about1000 mg of sodium intake. Dr. Lin also reminded that in addition to paying attention to the use of calories and sauces, eating zongzi also requires extra fiber intake. When eating zongzi, it is also accompanied by hot vegetables, cold dishes, vegetable soup and enough fruits, so as to have a balanced diet. Dragon Boat Festival.
