Let’s find out together! The first month of the lunar calendar is an important month. Let us pay attention to the traditional festivals and solar terms in the first month and have a good start of the month.Diabetic patientsIt is best not to eat sweet-filled Yuanxiao, you can eat salty glutinous rice balls instead. If you eat Yuanxiao as a snack, you must reduce the amount of staple food in the main meal.Patients with cardiovascular disease and hypertensionPatients should try to eat less of this kind of difficult-to-digest food. If they eat too much and are exposed to cold wind, they are prone to acute angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc.Ulcer patientsEating Yuanxiao can increase the secretion of gastric acid, aggravate the irritation to the ulcer surface, and in severe cases can induce gastric bleeding, gastric perforation, etc.People with gastrointestinal dysdigestionYuanxiao is made of glutinous rice flour, which is very sticky and difficult to digest. Eating it can cause stomach pain, bloating, belching, acid reflux and even diarrhea.Patients with acute gastroenteritisDuring the Spring Festival, many people who overeat are prone to acute gastroenteritis. Eating more Yuanxiao at this time will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.ElderlyThe elderly often have decreased digestive function, tooth loss, and slow swallowing reflex. Rapid swallowing may cause the Yuanxiao to get stuck in the throat, leading to breathing difficulties or even suffocation. Therefore, the elderly must chew the Yuanxiao slowly when eating it.Infants and young childrenIt is not suitable for infants and young children under 3 years old to eat Yuanxiao. Since glutinous rice is sticky, children under one year old are likely to have the Yuanxiao stuck in their esophagus and block their respiratory tract. Children between one and two years old cannot easily chew the peanuts in the Yuanxiao filling. In addition, children's digestive function is weak and their swallowing reflex is not yet fully developed. Even older children should not rush to eat the whole Yuanxiao to prevent accidents.Summary: The above article introduces us to some taboos in eating Yuanxiao Festival.
