Wu, a nutritionist at Luodong Pok Oi Hospital, pointed out that traditional zongzi has a high oil content and a calorie of 400 to 600 calories. Eating more may lead to obesity and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition, the cholesterol of egg yolk is high, so it is suggested that patients with cardiovascular disease and diabetes should not consume more than one egg yolk every day.
Traditional zongzi has many hidden health risks. Nutritionists suggest that people wrap Redmi zongzi or purple rice zongzi at home and use seasonal fresh vegetables as stuffing, such as bamboo shoots, Pleurotus eryngii, carrots, Lycium barbarum, red dates and other ingredients rich in fiber and carotene, which not only increases the taste change, but also conforms to the concept of high fiber, low oil and lightness. A healthy zongzi weighs about 2 10 to 220g and has only 30 calories.
Health food "grows" healthy red yeast to dredge blood vessels, and purple rice helps digestion.
Monascus has been discovered by the medical community. Monascus is one of the metabolites produced in the fermentation process, which can inhibit cholesterol synthesis, especially for low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride, and can effectively control the proportion of total cholesterol and its components in blood, thus slowing down the occurrence of arteriosclerosis complications and cardiovascular diseases.
Purple rice, also known as longevity rice, is considered by Chinese medicine to have health-preserving effects such as tonifying the middle energizer, nourishing the brain and kidney, contracting the uterus and warming the spleen. The dietary fiber of purple rice can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and help digestion. Most importantly, the shell of purple rice contains more phytochemicals and anthocyanins than ordinary glutinous rice, which is the source of high-quality antioxidants. Proper intake is helpful to prevent and reduce the risk of hypertension, stabilize the structure of human cell membrane and avoid atherosclerosis.
It should be noted that people should try not to touch sweet and spicy sauce and soy sauce when eating zongzi to avoid excessive sodium intake. In addition, when tasting various delicious zongzi, it can be balanced with a bowl of vegetables or fruits. Although the calories of Redmi and Zimi Zongzi are only 350 calories, which is lower than that of ordinary Zongzi, we should eat Zongzi in moderation and not eat too much during the Dragon Boat Festival.
