Banh chung and xoi are familiar dishes in Lunar New Year meals. However, for some groups of people, eating xoi and banh chung is not good for health.
People who should not eat sticky rice and banh chung
People with prediabetes
VietNamNet newspaper quoted Master, Doctor Nguyen Phuong Anh, Deputy Head of Nutrition Department, An Binh Hospital (Ho Chi Minh City) as saying that people with prediabetes and diabetes should limit eating sticky rice and banh chung.
Prediabetes is a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Without treatment, 5-10% of people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes each year, and about 70% of people with prediabetes will develop full-blown diabetes.
Lifestyle changes help prevent or delay progression to type 2 diabetes. This is the mainstay of treatment at this stage.
To measure the ability of a food to increase blood sugar after eating, people use the GI (Glycemic Index). Foods with a higher GI have the ability to increase blood sugar more quickly and more after eating.
Meanwhile, sticky rice and banh chung are foods with a high GI. Therefore, it is best for people with prediabetes or diabetes to limit these dishes. If you still want to enjoy banh chung, sticky rice, and banh tet, you should eat them with lots of vegetables to reduce the GI and reduce negative effects on health.
Overweight people
Overweight people should only eat very little banh chung because this type of cake is very high in energy and starch. In particular, if you are obese, you should not eat banh chung, especially fried banh chung because it is extremely high in energy and fat.
Sticky rice and banh chung are dishes loved by many people.
People with high blood pressure and heart disease
People with these diseases should also not eat banh chung. The reason is that people who are unfortunate enough to have this disease need to follow a diet to stabilize their health.
Cancer patient
Banh chung and sticky rice contain sticky rice and fat, which can cause indigestion. Therefore, patients should eat less or not eat at all. In addition, fried foods should also be limited or not eaten because they can also cause indigestion.
The above are people who are advised not to eat sticky rice and banh chung. If you are in the above group, stay away from this food.
