Chưng cake is a traditional dish during Tet holiday. When Tet is over, most families have leftover chưng cakes, often fried for breakfast or other meals during the day.
However, the following people should not eat this dish:
People with high blood pressure
People with high blood pressure, especially the elderly, always have to follow a diet low in fat, salt, sugar… Therefore, the fried chưng cake, which contains a lot of fat, can cause increased gastric acid secretion, increasing the risk of high blood pressure.
People with a history of stomach problems
If you eat a lot of fried chưng cakes, you will feel indigestion, bloating, and discomfort. Therefore, people with stomach pain should limit their consumption to avoid recurrence of symptoms.
Overweight, obese people
If you are obese, you should not eat fried chưng cakes because this dish is very high in energy and fat. Not adhering to this can lead to uncontrolled weight gain.
People prone to acne
People with acne should eat less fried chưng cakes because this type of cake can cause internal heat, aggravating acne. In some cases, after eating fried chưng cakes, the acne may become swollen, ulcerated, and even pus-filled.
People with kidney disease
For patients with kidney disease, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease accompanied by high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and patients with renal impairment with lipidemia, absolutely should not eat fried chưng cakes because the high fat content in the cake will worsen the condition of the disease.
How to eat fried chưng cakes properly?
Experts recommend that fried chưng cakes are delicious, but you need to follow these principles to avoid harm to your health:

Do not eat fried chưng cakes in the evening, only eat them in the morning or noon. It is best to eat no more than 1 portion of 8 pieces of fried chưng cakes per day and not consecutive consumption for 2 days.
