"Three little" when choosing cakes
When buying moon cakes, prioritize low-fat, low-sugar, low-calorie cakes. This information is often available on product labels or you can ask directly to the store.
Eat whole grain porridge
Whole grains are rich in protein, vitamins, minerals (calcium, iron, zinc...) and fiber. After eating moon cakes, we should eat whole grain porridge to help digestion better, reduce fat and excess calorie absorption, thereby limiting weight gain.
Eat with fruit
Moon cakes are inherently sweet and easy to eat. Combining the cake with sour fruits such as grapefruit, oranges, kiwi or gai apples will help prevent and support digestion.
On the contrary, you should not eat sugary fruits such as durian, pear, watermelon... with them because they can easily cause excess sugar, which can negatively affect health.
Drink with tea
Tea is the perfect pair of moon cakes. Green tea, peppermint tea help promote sugar metabolism. Oolong tea is rich in polyphenols that can absorb and eliminate fat, limiting calorie accumulation.
Reduce grilled and stir-fried
A moon cake has the same calories as a bowl of rice, or even more. To balance, you should reduce high-calorie dishes in your main meal. After eating the cake, walk for 30-60 minutes to consume energy and burn calories.
