0 1, Zongzi should not be eaten on an empty stomach.

Zongzi is mostly made of glutinous rice, which is difficult to digest. It is highly viscous and difficult to digest. It takes a longer time to stimulate more gastric acid secretion before it can be completely digested in the human body. Because of the weak digestion and absorption ability of patients with gastrointestinal diseases, eating zongzi on an empty stomach may lead to the recurrence of old diseases in patients with chronic gastritis and esophagitis.

Don't eat cold zongzi.

It's hot in summer, and many people think it's more comfortable to eat cold zongzi, but the doctor says it's best to eat zongzi while it's hot, otherwise it will easily hurt the spleen and stomach. The glutinous rice in zongzi is warm, which can nourish the spleen and stomach when it is hot. If it is cooled before eating, it will be difficult to digest and easily hurt the spleen and stomach. Try to avoid repeated heating. Eat quick-frozen zongzi, steam it thoroughly, or thaw it in the microwave oven. It is best to divide it into small packets when storing, and separate it from other raw foods such as meat to avoid cross-contamination.

03. Patients with cardiovascular diseases should eat less.

Zongzi such as meat dumplings and lard bean paste dumplings will increase blood viscosity, affect blood circulation, and increase heart burden and ischemia. Therefore, patients with vascular diseases, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease should not eat more and avoid eating high-fat and greasy food.
