The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival for the Chinese nation. Everyone will have a family reunion dinner during the holiday season. In addition to reunion dinner, there are moon cakes. But what kind of people eat moon cakes? Can patients eat? how to eat? It is very particular about it.

Diabetic patients with cautious food

Yuan Lin, chief physician of the Department of Endocrinology at the Zhuhai People's Hospital, told reporters that moon cakes contained extremely high levels of sugar, fat, and cholesterol in their materials, and the heat was also very alarming. Taking Shuanglianlian moon cake as an example, each calorie has 870 calories (220 calories in two of them), and normal people only need to consume more than 2,000 calories per day. From this perspective, a moon cake is equivalent to a meal.

In addition, the moon cake is not only without any dietary fiber, but also contains about 44 grams of fat, 525 milligrams of cholesterol, 16.4 grams of protein, and 66 grams of sugar. Experts suggest that each person's daily fat intake should be less than 50 grams, and cholesterol intake should not exceed 300 milligrams. From this perspective, the "nutrition" in the moon cake is excessive.

For diabetics, the sugar content of moon cakes is too high. Slight taste of a mouthful does not have much effect on the body, but if you eat too much, you may increase blood glucose levels in diabetics. As a result, the condition of the patient is aggravated, and even serious complications occur, causing accidents. Even with small amounts of food, diabetics should correspondingly reduce the amount of staple food intake. There are so-called sugar-free moon cakes for diabetics on the market today, but it is worth mentioning that some so-called sugar-free moon cakes actually replace sucrose with maltose. And the sugar contained in sugar-free moon cakes is not less than that of ordinary moon cakes, and the calories are still high. Eating too much can lead to an increase in blood sugar in diabetic patients. Especially for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, be careful about the delicious moon cakes.

Suffering from hepatobiliary diseases is not suitable for older people

On elderly people suffering from cholecystitis and gallstones, Wu Qing, general surgeon of the Zhuhai People's Hospital, said that eating too much moon cake can cause gallbladder contraction and bile retention. It is prone to cause acute exacerbations of the original disease or worsen the patient's condition, and may even cause acute pancreatitis. Severe cases are life-threatening. For people with varying degrees of fatty liver, eat moon cakes as little as possible. Fatty liver is due to a variety of reasons caused by a large number of fat accumulation in the body, can not be effectively digested and formed, most of the moon cakes are rich in fats, oils, sugars.

Elderly patients with gastrointestinal diseases due to the deterioration of various physical functions, digestive enzyme secretion, poor digestion and absorption, such as excessive consumption of high oil, high sugar moon cake will increase the burden of the digestive tract, easily lead to loss of appetite, Bloating diarrhea, indigestion and other symptoms. Especially for elderly people suffering from peptic ulcer, such as eating too many moon cakes, it can cause increased gastric acid secretion, affect the healing of ulcers and even aggravate the condition, and severe cases can induce gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation.

Three types of pregnant women should not eat moon cakes

Lin Daobin, MD, chief of obstetrics of Zhuhai Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said that not all pregnant women are suitable for eating moon cakes. There are cases where individual pregnant women will not serve after eating moon cakes. The overall situation can be summarized into the following three categories.

One is pregnant women with gestational diabetes. Because moon cakes contain more sugar, it is not suitable for pregnant women with gestational diabetes to eat; the second is excessive weight gain of pregnant women. The fat and calories contained in moon cakes are extremely high, which will have a greater impact on the weight of pregnant women. Third, pregnant women who suffer from long-term illnesses. Because moon cake heavy oil is heavy and difficult to digest, it is not suitable for pregnant women who suffer from physical weakness and long-term illness.

It is better for infants and young children not to eat moon cakes

Zhu Zhang, chief physician of the Zhuhai Maternal and Child Health Hospital's Child Health Division, said that moon cakes are "three high" foods that are high in sugar, fat, and calories and are not good for children's health. For children, high sugar and high oil moon cakes should be eaten as little as possible and cause stomach discomfort. Doctors recommend that babies under 3 years of age should not eat. For babies older than 3 years old, their stomachs are slightly more mature. They can eat properly, but they should not overdo it.

The baby who is over three years of age eats moon cakes. At most, he can only let him eat one-fifth of the moon cakes. Because eating too much of the moon cakes can cause the gastrointestinal burden to increase and the gastrointestinal discomfort and swelling can cause nausea, indigestion, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Other symptoms. At the same time, the daily intake of staple foods and oils should be reduced to balance the baby's daily diet, because a Cantonese-style moon cake with about 4 weights contains 500 kcal of calories, which is equivalent to 3 two rice.

There are baby moon cakes on the market today. Baby moon cakes are about one centimeter thick and about three centimeters in diameter. They are delicate on the outside and contain fruit fillings. They are dubbed conventional biscuits. Both regular moon cakes and baby moon cakes are high-oil and high-fat, and are not suitable for babies whose body is not fully developed. If you eat too much, your baby may experience symptoms such as indigestion and diarrhea.

Experts suggest: When eating moon cakes, try not to drink soda, juice and other beverages containing large amounts of sugar and calories. These beverages and mooncakes are undoubtedly “burning” with the diet and are a great health hazard. Should drink boiled water, light tea is appropriate, or homemade hawthorn water, chrysanthemum tea, Mangosteen tea, etc. can be fat and tired. (Zhuhai Special Zone Reporter Li Wenjun)
