Although it tastes delicious, it is not good to eat too much.
Zongzi is mostly made of glutinous rice, which is highly viscous, difficult to digest, lacking in fiber and high in fat, salt and sugar. For example, an ordinary bacon zongzi contains about one and a half bowls of rice with 400 to 500 calories. Therefore, experts suggest that women should not eat more than three zongzi a day and men should not eat more than five. While eating zongzi, fruits and vegetables can help the gastrointestinal peristalsis, and can avoid gastrointestinal indigestion caused by eating zongzi. In addition, it is best not to eat zongzi two hours before going to bed, and don't touch cool fruits with more water, such as watermelon, so as not to cause diarrhea or abdominal pain.
Besides, experts also advise some people not to eat zongzi except to eat less. Patients with cardiovascular diseases: There are many kinds of zongzi, among which meat zongzi, lard and red bean paste zongzi are rich in fat and belong to greasy food. People with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease eat too much, which will increase blood viscosity, affect blood circulation, increase heart burden and ischemia, and induce angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Old people and children: Zongzi are mostly made of glutinous rice, which is sticky. If the elderly and children eat too much, it is easy to cause indigestion, and then produce symptoms such as hyperacidity, bloating, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Patients with gastrointestinal diseases: steamed zongzi will release a gelatinous substance, which will increase the load of digestive enzymes after eating. Diabetic patients: There are often red dates and red bean paste in zongzi, which have high sugar content and are generally mixed with sugar. If it is not controlled, it will damage the function of islet, make the patient's blood sugar and urine sugar rise rapidly, aggravate the condition, and even appear coma and poisoning.
There is a magic prescription for eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival.
1, Zongzi should be eaten hot, and Zongzi with oil, meat and egg yolk should not be eaten cold, especially for people with poor digestion. Some poor quality glutinous rice will harden after cold, and miscellaneous grains zongzi will regrow obviously after cold.
2. Zongzi is the staple food, you can eat it for three meals, and breakfast is more suitable. Because the appetite is generally bad in the morning, the appetite is small, and the fragrant and warm zongzi is convenient to eat and makes people feel comfortable.
3. The calories of vegetarian zongzi are not as high as the legend, but they belong to food after all. If you eat zongzi, you should reduce the intake of staple food accordingly, otherwise it will bring too much starch, cause weight gain, and may be too full and cause indigestion.
Zongzi should not be the only food in a meal. Must be accompanied by some dishes. Because of fast digestion, blood sugar rises quickly and falls relatively quickly. People with diabetes should pay more attention, because their blood sugar control ability is poor, and they are particularly prone to ups and downs.
Although the hot glutinous rice itself is easy to digest, it is mixed with greasy ingredients such as fat meat and egg yolk. People with poor digestion may feel uncomfortable after eating it, and some people get angry easily. Therefore, people with indigestion should choose fresh Beizao Zongzi.
6. Due to different constitutions, people with hyperacidity may feel uncomfortable and heartburn. It's better to eat bacon in jiaozi, and it's better to eat a small amount of vegetables in jiaozi.
What should be paid attention to in the preservation and consumption of zongzi?
Be sure to put it in the refrigerator. Zongzi is mainly glutinous rice with red dates, bean paste or meat, so it is easy to deteriorate in hot weather in early summer. Jujube zongzi and red bean paste zongzi can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. If it's meat stuffing, it's best to eat it within 3 days.
At present, zongzi on the market can be roughly divided into three categories according to their packaging and preservation forms: fresh packaging, quick freezing and vacuum packaging. It's best to eat fresh zongzi on the same day after buying it home, otherwise it should be stored in the refrigerator in time. Both frozen and vacuum-packed zongzi can be preserved for a long time and can be eaten within the shelf life of its label. But pay attention to the classification, put it in bags and put it in the refrigerator. If you make zongzi at home, it is best and safest to cook it now. But pay attention to the cold storage for no more than 3 days and the freezing for no more than 7 days. Steam it again when you eat it again, but it is best not to freeze it again.
Another thing to note is that if the dumplings are sticky after peeling, it means that the dumplings may not be fresh for a long time, so it is best not to eat them.
