As a traditional delicacy, mooncakes are typically crafted from a variety of ingredients including glutinous rice flour, milk, corn oil, butter, sugar, and eggs. They are not only rich in carbohydrates and minerals but also provide essential energy and nutrients to the body. However, due to their high sugar and calorie content, frequent consumption of mooncakes may burden the digestive system, leading to discomfort such as bloating or stomach pain. Additionally, excessive caloric intake may trigger obesity issues, and for diabetic patients, the regular consumption of mooncakes could interfere with blood sugar management, making it unsuitable for health to regularly consume large quantities of mooncakes.
Therefore, in daily dietary habits, it is advocated to prioritize low-fat and light foods, increasing the proportion of fresh fruits and vegetables, such as cantaloupe, kiwi, and various leafy greens like lettuce and bok choy. These foods are rich in vitamins and fibers, which are beneficial for health. At the same time, one should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, such as hot and sour noodle dishes, to prevent affecting the digestive system. By maintaining a balanced diet, one can enjoy the pleasures of food while also maintaining physical health.
