The Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) is coming, and rice dumpling, a variety of creative fillings, has become the protagonist on the festival table. Zhang Xiaoxu, the chief physician of Shenyang Health Service Center, suggested that although rice dumpling is delicious, its sugar and fat content is high, and sugar free rice dumpling is not completely "sugar free". Don't be greedy when eating rice dumpling on festivals, and be careful not to fall into the trap of high sugar and high oil "stuffing". The reporter recently saw in the quick frozen food area of a supermarket in Hunnan District, Shenyang that there are a variety of rice dumpling in bags, and many brands have launched a combination of rice dumpling with various flavors. "This year, rice dumpling has a variety of fillings, and rice dumpling with various fruits and patterns is also popular among young people," said a salesperson. Experts said that the ingredients of rice dumpling are mainly glutinous rice and sugar. The rice dumpling skin made of glutinous rice flour contains a lot of starch, and there is a lot of sugar in the filling. "Take ordinary rice dumpling stuffed with black sesame as an example, each rice dumpling consumes about 2.63 grams of fat, and each person should consume 25 to 30 grams of oil every day. According to this calculation, eating nine rice dumpling can equal the oil intake of a day." Zhang Xiaoxu said, "rice dumpling with various creative fillings generally uses more fat and sugar in the ingredients to achieve a more sweet taste." With people's attention to food health, Sugar free rice dumpling is becoming popular in the festival market. Zhang Xiaoxu said that most sugar free rice dumpling used xylitol instead of sucrose, but the oil content did not decrease, so they should also try to eat less. "Glutinous rice is a food with high glycemic index, and it is not suitable for patients with diabetes and hyperlipidemia to eat more." If you eat rice dumpling, you must reduce the number of staple foods accordingly. Generally speaking, the glutinous rice flour used for 3 rice dumpling is equivalent to the rice used for 1 or 2 rice. Therefore, one should not eat too much at once, and during holidays, eat a few fewer pills to enjoy. Before eating rice dumpling, you can eat more leafy greens, mushrooms and bean products with high dietary fiber content to avoid eating rice dumpling on an empty stomach. Experts suggest that eating rice dumpling should also pay attention to eating time and cooking methods. Zhang Xiaoxu suggested that people should avoid eating rice dumpling in the morning and evening. The gastrointestinal function was not fully started in the morning, and the body metabolism was slow before going to sleep in the evening. Eating rice dumpling at this time may cause a heavy burden on the body. In addition, rice dumpling should be eaten as soon as possible after cooking, and it should be digested better at this time. It should also try to reduce the use of fried rice dumpling to avoid excessive oil intake. (Lai Xin She)
