Health has no burden! Eat zongzi with drinks and choose 3 skimming steps.

In sunny summer, eating zongzi with drinks is not only boring and enjoyable, but also a convenient and affordable choice for office workers. However, nutrition experts remind that eating too much zongzi is easy to be obese, and the choice of drinks should be done step by step. It is suggested to look at the calories from the nutrition label on the package first, then choose the suitable packaged drinks, and pay attention to the content of sugar and trans fatty acids, which is not only healthy but also easy to enjoy slimming.

Drinking drinks in summer is an improvement. Dr. Wu, a nutritionist, suggested looking at calories from the nutrition label of the package first. (Photo/Huang Zhiwen) Dr. Wu, a nutritionist at National Taiwan University, pointed out that the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Faced with a wide variety of iced drinks, how to choose low-calorie products has become the biggest consideration for modern people who want to eat ice and drink drinks, but do not want to get fat; The survey found that the top five drinks that office workers drink most often are hand-cranked cups, sugary tea, sparkling drinks, coffee and sugar-free tea.

However, if we take the hand-cranked cup of bubble tea as an example, if the sweetness is normal and the amount of pearls is not reduced, the calorie is at least 400 calories, and drinking 1 cup is equivalent to eating 1 bowl of semi-white rice. Therefore, office workers should be careful when choosing drinks in summer to avoid obesity; It is suggested that you can refer to the calorie label of goods and choose drinks with lower calories in order to master the health principles.

Three skimming steps were selected for commercial beverages.

1. Look at the heat from the nutrition label of the package: manage personal health through the heat label. It is suggested to reduce the sugar content as much as possible and avoid drinking drinks with normal sweetness. It is best to change the sweetness to semi-sugar or micro-sugar, so that the calories will be reduced by more than half, the sweetness will also be reduced, and the effect of cooling and quenching thirst will be better. Because there is no nutrition label for hand-cranked drinks like bubble tea, it is difficult for ordinary people to estimate calories.

2. Choose a suitable packaged drink: For the pink-collar family who love beauty, choosing a package suitable for personal needs, especially a small package, is a good way to control calorie intake. And we should grasp the principle of "less sugar, less fat and high fiber" to eat nutritionally, healthily and without burden.

3. Pay attention to sugar and trans fatty acids: too much sugar intake is easy to get fat and endanger your health. Trans fats can increase bad cholesterol, triglycerides and good cholesterol in the blood, and their effects are obviously higher than saturated fats, so be careful.

It is suggested to choose drinks in a planned way, besides paying attention to calorie intake, it should also be combined with exercise as much as possible. Office workers can take the stairs when dining out or commuting, consuming the accumulated heat after sitting for a long time.

Remind office workers that many people will choose frozen drinks in summer. Although the Food Labeling Law stipulates that packaged drinks should have complete nutrition labels, consumers may be harmful to their health if they don't understand the meaning of proper nouns. Therefore, it is suggested that the best policy is to choose packaging suitable for individual needs to facilitate weight management.
