Nutritionist Warns: Plain Congee with Pickles Can Be High in Sugar and Sodium

Nutritionist Wang Yu-ching warns that the common combination of plain congee with pickles can lead to high sugar and sodium intake. Overcooked congee digests quickly, causing blood sugar spikes, while pickles are high in sodium, potentially causing swelling and increased bodily burden. She suggests alternatives like mixed grain congee with eggs, tofu, and vegetables for stable energy and reduced sodium.
