【 Eat Yuanxiao at the right time and in the right amount 】

1. Timely: It is recommended to eat during meals. The gastrointestinal function is weak when getting up early, and eating Yuanxiao for breakfast is very likely to cause indigestion, acid reflux, heartburn, etc.; eating before meals will stimulate insulin secretion and cause unstable blood sugar in the body; eating after meals will cause the total calorie limit to exceed the standard.

2. Moderate consumption: Eat in moderation. Yuanxiao contains high sugar and fat, which will increase the gastrointestinal burden and may cause indigestion such as acid reflux and bloating. Eating too much may form gastric stones, fecal stones and induce intestinal obstruction. Therefore, it is necessary to eat in moderation, especially for the elderly and children with weak gastrointestinal function.

[Try to eat less or no these friends]

1. Elderly and weak people: their digestive function is reduced and their swallowing reflex is slow. Rapid swallowing may cause throat choking and lead to breathing difficulties.

2. Children: Be careful of sticky Yuanxiao which may cause suffocation and other respiratory or digestive system diseases.

3. Diabetic patients: Yuanxiao has a high sugar content, which can cause blood sugar to rise sharply and aggravate the condition.

4. Patients with hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease: Yuanxiao contains high levels of fat and sugar. Excessive intake will affect the metabolism of sugar and fat in the body, thereby affecting blood viscosity and causing adverse effects on patients.

5. Patients with cold and fever: The gastrointestinal tract is in a relatively inhibited state. Eating Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings) can easily increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to recovery from the disease.

6. People who have just recovered from a long illness: Although the appetite has improved, the digestive function is still weak. Eating too much Yuanxiao is not conducive to recovery.

7. Patients with peptic ulcer: Eating Yuanxiao can increase the secretion of gastric acid and aggravate the irritation to the ulcer surface. In severe cases, it can induce gastric bleeding, gastric perforation, etc.

8. Patients with acute gastroenteritis: The gastrointestinal tract is in a state of congestion and edema, and eating Yuanxiao will increase the burden.
