With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, mooncakes, as an essential delicacy for the holiday, offer an irresistible flavor. However, while enjoying this sweetness, there are a few points worth our attention.
Firstly, it is best not to pair mooncakes with porridge. Although this combination may provide a different taste experience, both mooncakes and porridge can rapidly increase blood sugar levels, making them particularly unsuitable for diabetic patients. Additionally, this pairing may negatively affect brain cell health and fat metabolism.
Secondly, while mooncakes are delightful, they should be consumed in moderation. Due to their high fat and sugar content, even low-fat and low-sugar mooncakes can lead to stomach discomfort, bloating, and indigestion if eaten in excess. This is especially true for those who already have heat in their bodies, as overindulgence in mooncakes may lead to indigestion and symptoms such as acne, constipation, or swollen gums.
Moreover, the elderly and children should be particularly cautious when consuming mooncakes, as excessive intake might induce abdominal pain, diarrhea, or vomiting.
In summary, while tasting mooncakes and enjoying the atmosphere of this traditional festival, do remember to eat in moderation according to your own condition, and maintain comfort and health.
