Moon cakes are traditional food for Mid-Autumn Festival, but during the second month, pregnant women need to pay attention to a healthy diet. This article will introduce the health care value and precautions of moon cakes to help you enjoy the delicacy of this traditional festival better.

Rich in unsaturated fatty acids

Most moon cakes contain plant seeds, such as walnuts, almonds and sesame seeds. These seeds are of great health care value to human body. They are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which help to soften blood vessels, prevent arteriosclerosis and improve human immunity.

Rich in vitamin e

Moon cakes are rich in vitamin E, which has the effects of anti-aging and nourishing the skin. This is very helpful for maternal physical recovery and skin care.

Drinking tea is healthier.

Mooncakes are high in energy and contain a lot of vegetable oil. During confinement, because of relatively little activity, greasy moon cakes are not easy to digest, which may bring a burden to the maternal gastrointestinal tract and cause abdominal distension or obesity. Therefore, it is suggested to enjoy moon cakes with a cup of tea or warm water, which can not only reduce the greasy feeling, but also make you and your family enjoy the delicious food of this traditional festival more healthily.
