Eating moon cakes may wish to "try a little bit"

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the season is getting stronger.
Moon cakes are the protagonist of the Mid-Autumn Festival. With the improvement of people's living standards, moon cakes of various styles and flavors emerge in endlessly.
During the festival, how can I not only taste good food, but also maintain a healthy and good figure?
Experts believe that eating moon cakes should be simple: "Healthy adults recommend eating one moon cake a day, and half a moon cake for the elderly and children is better. Patients with chronic diseases or people with "three highs" should not eat or try a small amount. Of course, according to the individual Physical condition and mooncake size can be adjusted as appropriate, so that you can take care of your health and enjoy the festive atmosphere."
Moon cakes are a kind of traditional delicacy. Not only are they exquisite in appearance and unique in taste, they are also rich in cultural heritage.
However, no matter how gorgeous mooncakes are, they still cannot be separated from the essence of high sugar, high fat and high calories.
Therefore, avoid overeating when eating moon cakes, and try to avoid overeating to avoid physical discomfort.
However, some merchants caught the user's desire to eat mooncakes and want to be healthy, and deliberately promoted them under the banner of "health preservation", so health preservation moon cakes were favored by many consumers in the stores.
In fact, although some mooncakes are labeled with a variety of nutritional elements, they still cannot change the fact that they are high in sugar and oil. At best, it is just a gimmick for business promotion.
As far as health preservation is concerned, the requirement of "sugar-free" in our country is that the sugar content of every 100g of food is not more than 0.5g, while the sugar-free moon cakes on the market mainly refer to the moon cakes without adding sucrose .
Such moon cakes still contain a lot of starch, which will be converted into glucose in the body and release heat, which will also cause "high sugar".
Moreover, in the production of moon cakes, the coarse grain powder has larger particles and loose texture. If you add more, the moon cake will be difficult to form. Therefore, even in the coarse grain moon cake, the proportion of coarse grains will not be too much.
Therefore, in order to ensure the taste, merchants generally add a large amount of fat, which will actually make consumers eat too much fat.
In other words, the production process of moon cakes itself determines high-fat and high-sugar, and health preservation focuses on low-fat and low-sugar. The two are obviously contradictory.
Although dietary regimen is indeed a good way of health, it is necessary to pay attention to the scientific and nutritional combination. It is far from the effect of eating a few "healthy moon cakes" on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the fierce market competition, businesses attract customers with health-preserving mooncake gimmicks. This requires relevant law enforcement agencies to strengthen supervision and standardize management to stop businesses’ false propaganda.
Driven by interests, some so-called "healthy mooncakes" not only cannot guarantee the quality, but also focus on packaging and publicity.
Some mooncakes have fancy packaging and exaggerated publicity, and some do not even have a production date or place of origin.
According to reports, some merchants actually bought exquisite packaging boxes cheaply online, and then put in crude moon cakes, which became "healthy moon cakes."
Not to mention health preservation, even the most basic food safety is difficult to guarantee.
As a kind of delicacy, moon cakes carry traditional culture.
When we taste moon cakes, it is more to remember history than to use them as a health tool.
As a consumer in the new era, one should learn to eat moon cakes scientifically and healthily, not to be greedy, let alone be paralyzed by false propaganda.
Relevant departments should promote the correct way of eating mooncakes to the public, and at the same time strictly control the chaos of mooncakes.
In addition to random inspections on the quality of mooncakes in production workshops, shopping malls, and supermarkets, the supervision of sales on the network platform must not be relaxed.
It is necessary to take a multi-pronged approach and strengthen the comprehensive management of multiple parties, from the source of moon cake production to the consumer terminal, to strictly control the quality and safety of moon cakes.
