Zongzi is a kind of food wrapped in glutinous rice and steamed in Zongzi leaves, and it is one of the traditional festival foods of Han nationality in China. Glutinous rice is rice from which glutinous rice is shelled. In China, it is called glutinous rice in the south and glutinous rice in the north. "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that glutinous rice is sticky and not easy to dissolve, so children and patients should not eat it. "Materia Medica Seeking Truth" also records that old people and children should avoid eating when they are sick. "Ben Feng Jingyuan" records that if glutinous rice is made into cakes, it will be difficult to transport and melt, and patients should not eat it. Wang Mengying also mentioned with interest that "glutinous rice is sweet and warm" in the diet spectrum. Tonify lung qi, strengthen stomach, promote fluid production, help acne pulp, and warm viscera with boiling water. Brew wine and cook it as cake bait. If you cook porridge, you can't eat it often, because sex is too sticky and difficult to melt. Children and patients in particular should be taboo. Frozen rice (cooked in winter) is non-sticky, which can stop diarrhea and strengthen the spleen. Fried rice is fragrant and dry, and eating more will hurt your health. "Thus, ancient physicians have long had * * *, patients and children can't eat. Why is this? Patients are most often accompanied by weakness of spleen and stomach, abnormal transport and transformation, and sticky glutinous rice itself. If the patient eats zongzi again, it will be difficult to transport the spleen and stomach, which will eventually lead to the loss of qi and blood biochemistry and the inability to resist evil spirits, which will lead to the aggravation of the disease. Ming's "Tips on Parenting" records that "children often have a surplus of heart and a deficiency of spleen". Children's spleen and stomach are in the process of growth and development, and their transportation function is poor. Glutinous rice is not easy to digest, and children taking glutinous rice can easily lead to spleen and stomach stagnation, leading to malnutrition in children. Modern medicine also shows that eating zongzi by patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetics is not conducive to disease control. Of course, the elderly also suggest not to eat more. Most elderly people have gastrointestinal dysfunction. Eating too much zongzi may lead to indigestion and even bloating and stomachache.
So, how can ordinary people eat healthily? First, limit, don't eat more, it is best to take two at a time as the boundary, and eat less sweet and salty zongzi. Second, try to eat zongzi with dietary fiber (miscellaneous beans) added to the main ingredient, which is also suitable for obese or diabetic people. Third, eat more vegetables and have abdominal massage after eating zongzi to help digestion.
