The calorie of the anti-epidemic ice zongzi is only 50 calories, so there is no burden to relieve the heat.

Unable to return to the hometown to eat the zongzi made by my mother, many people turn to buy the zongzi sold in the market. However, the zongzi fillings on the market are more "surging" than the other one. The calories of each zongzi approach 5,600 kcal, and the heat of the large zongzi with sea and land fillings is even higher to nearly 1,000 calories. Zheng Yingjie, a nutritionist at Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, said that they want to teach everyone a simple "anti-epidemic ice dumpling" that can be made by themselves. They can be made at home, and they can strengthen epidemic prevention when they go out less.

High-fiber ice zongzi prevents bloating and constipation from eating zongzi

Anti-epidemic ice dumplings are anti-oxidant and good for health

Zheng Yingyi said that chia seeds are rich in water-soluble dietary fiber, which can help defecation and maintain good intestinal function, and also contain trace elements and omega-3 fatty acids, which can inhibit inflammation and increase immunity , but also increase satiety and avoid excessive calorie intake.
