Can pregnant women eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019?

Pregnant women can eat rice dumplings, because most of them are made of glutinous rice, chestnuts, pork, peanuts and other grains and meat. There is no problem for pregnant women to eat a small amount. It is recommended not to eat more than one per meal, let alone eat it as a meal.
If consumed in excess, the glutinous rice in the rice dumplings is highly sticky and difficult to digest, which can easily cause bloating in people with poor digestive function, and some people even suffer from "congestion" after eating them.
As for sweet rice dumplings, pregnant women with high blood sugar or pregnant women who already suffer from gestational diabetes are forbidden to eat them. Sweet rice dumplings contain more sugar and can easily increase the blood sugar level in the human body.
In addition, an ordinary salty pork rice dumpling contains about one bowl of rice and about 400 to 500 calories, which is high in calories, so pregnant women should eat less salty pork rice dumplings.

Precautions for pregnant women to eat Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings: Do not eat on an empty stomach
Eating rice dumplings on an empty stomach is harmful to your health. It takes at least 6 hours for food to be digested from the stomach to the intestines. Zongzi is difficult to digest. If you eat zongzi on an empty stomach, the glutinous rice will stay in the stomach for a long time, stimulating the secretion of gastric acid, which may cause a recurrence of chronic gastritis and esophagitis in patients with chronic gastritis. Moreover, pregnant women should not eat rice dumplings in the early morning or before going to bed as they are difficult to digest.
Precautions for pregnant women to eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival: Do not dip them in sugar
Nowadays, rice dumplings are very high-end, with meat, bean paste, egg yolk... all kinds of things being stuffed in them. As a result, they are high in fat, sugar and calories. If you are an overweight expectant mother, have high blood pressure during pregnancy, or have high blood sugar, it is best to avoid this diet. Even if you don't have these symptoms, it's best not to dip it in sugar.
Precautions for pregnant women to eat Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings:
Zongzi can easily make people feel full, so be careful to eat less of it. It is best to eat it with other foods that aid digestion, such as vegetables high in fiber, or drink some red bean soup. If you are worried that rice dumplings are difficult to digest, expectant mothers can drink a cup of yogurt.
Drinking tea after eating rice dumplings is also a good choice. For super sweet rice dumplings, such as jujube paste, bean paste, etc., mint tea or green tea is better. It can enhance the metabolism of glucose, clear away heat and remove greasiness. For particularly oily rice dumplings, such as those made with fresh meat, ham, and sausage, drinking Pu'er tea, chrysanthemum tea, or hawthorn tea can aid digestion.
In addition, papaya and pineapple also have sweet taste and can help relieve the greasiness in the mouth after eating rice dumplings. This way of eating is both beautifying and aiding digestion. However, you cannot drink cold water immediately after eating rice dumplings. Rice dumplings are made of glutinous rice, which is hot in nature. When they get cold, they will condense and become indigestible, causing bloating.

Why did people later use mugwort leaves, reed leaves, or lotus leaves to wrap zongzi?

There is such a record in "Chuxueji": During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, a Changsha man dreamed of a man at night who claimed to be Sanlu Doctor (Qu Yuan's official name) and said to him: "The things you offered sacrifices to were all stolen by the dragon in the river. From now on you can wrap them in mugwort leaves and tie them with five-colored silk threads. Dragons are most afraid of these two things." So people began to wrap millet in cattail leaves to make "jiaoshu", which was passed down from generation to generation and gradually developed into my country's Dragon Boat Festival food.
