During the Lantern Festival, the folk have the tradition of eating glutinous rice balls. However, doctors caution against caution when tasting this delicacy, especially for the elderly and children.
According to Zhang Hui, director of the Department of Gastroenterology at Wuhan Tongji Aerospace City Hospital, although the dumplings are delicious, they contain high sugar and fat content. Therefore, he stressed the importance of moderate consumption, especially for the elderly and children with chronic diseases.
"It is not recommended for children under the age of 3 to consume glutinous rice balls, and the elderly should also control the amount of food they eat to avoid problems such as increased blood sugar and weight gain," said Director Zhang. He also reminded that the glutinous rice balls are not easy to digest, and the elderly and children are prone to obstruction after eating, so it is recommended to cut the glutinous rice balls into small pieces and chew them slowly.
In addition, Director Zhang also emphasized the characteristics of glutinous rice balls that are high in calories and high in sugar, so it is best to control the amount of each consumption within a certain range. He recommends no more than 5 to 6 per meal for adults, 3 to 4 for the elderly, and 2 to 3 for children.
When tasting the rice balls, Director Zhang suggested that they should be paired with vitamin-rich vegetables, soy products or mushroom foods to balance the nutrition, and reminded to avoid eating the rice balls in the morning and evening, so as not to increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
Finally, Director Zhang emphasized the safety issues, especially for children and the elderly, to prevent accidents, such as throat jamming and other problems, should seek medical attention in time.
This reminder is especially important during the Lantern Festival, and I hope that everyone can pay attention to a healthy diet and enjoy the festival while maintaining good health.
