Celebrate the Lantern Festival! Eat 4 Yuanxiao and walk 10,000 steps to burn calories

The Lantern Festival is coming soon. While people are enjoying the delicious Lantern Festival, they should not forget that they may consume too many calories. The National Health Bureau of the Department of Health specially reminds the public that Lantern Festival often contains high levels of fat and sugar. Four Lantern Festival dumplings contain about 300 calories, which can be consumed by walking 10,000 steps at a speed of 4 kilometers per hour. The public is reminded to eat “less oil, less sugar, and more fiber” during the Yuanxiao Festival so that they can enjoy delicious food and celebrate the festival happily.

Salty Yuanxiao has less oil and more fiber:

For salty Yuanxiao, you can add vegetables such as onions, chrysanthemums, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, and mushrooms to the soup to increase the intake of dietary fiber. Avoid using fried onions and lard when seasoning. You can use bonito and vegetable broth to increase the sweetness and freshness. The recommended amount of food is two fresh meat Yuanxiao, which contains about 140 calories, and should be replaced with staple foods, meat and fats in the diet.

* Do not eat too much sweet Yuanxiao: *

Sweet Yuanxiao often uses peanuts or sesame seeds as fillings, most of which are high in sugar, fat and calories. Therefore, for nutritional balance, your intake should be reduced. When purchasing, you should first read the nutrition and calorie labels, purchase according to the number of people in your family, and do not purchase excessive quantities.

Chronic patients should choose carefully:

People with diabetes, high cholesterol, triglycerides and liver fat, or those who are overweight and need to control calories should reduce their consumption of Yuanxiao. The sweet or salty soup that goes with Yuanxiao should also adhere to the principle of "less oil, less sugar, less salt, and more fiber". For diabetic patients, Yuanxiao can be eaten as a lunch or evening snack, but it should be replaced with the staple food in the diet plan. If patients with chronic diseases have any questions about eating Yuanxiao, they should consult a doctor or nutritionist.
