For obese children, limit the amount of bread they eat.

Overweight and obese children

Mooncakes have a lot of sugar and fat. According to Dr. Nguyen Van Tien, National Institute of Nutrition, the more fat children like to eat moon cakes. If you eat too much, overweight and obese children or glucose tolerance disorders can cause diabetes.

For obese children, limit the amount of bread they eat. The daily diet will subtract the portion provided by the cake. If you eat half a plastic cake or scones, you need to reduce about one bowl of rice and the corresponding amount of food during the day, and increase the amount of green vegetables to remove fat and prevent blood sugar from rising quickly. If you don't eat less, you need to walk for another 30 minutes to consume excess energy.

Anorexia baby

For children with anorexia, when eating a piece of bread at hungry, increased blood sugar will lose appetite during the main meal. When the child becomes more and more bored, it causes malnutrition.

In addition, eating pancakes is also difficult to digest due to high fat and animal protein. So just giving your child a piece (1/8 pie) after a meal is enough.

People with chronic diseases related to nutrition

People with chronic nutrition-related illnesses should choose products that are suitable for people with low sugar and low fat diets, who eat very limited to control the disease.

The amount of fat in a mooncake is 1-2 times the amount of fat in a bowl of beef noodle soup or chicken noodle soup. Most of the fat in bread from fat is a saturated fat that causes a lot of harm.

The amount of sugar powder is in a flexible cake or a cake baked with 2-3 bowls of rice (a bowl of 258 g rice). Sugar is mainly in the fast-absorbing form, causing rapid hyperglycemia.

Protein in baked goods is quite high, often animal protein, if not well preserved, they are prone to rancidity, mold causes poisoning. The vitamins in the cake are not much, and when processing and preservation, there are also significant losses.
