Can soy milk and zongzi be eaten together?

　　Soy milk and zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings) can generally be consumed together, but intake should be controlled when eating them. The specific analysis is as follows:

　　Soy milk contains high-quality plant protein, calcium, and various nutrients that provide energy for the body. Zongzi, made from glutinous rice and fillings, is rich in carbohydrates and provides calories. When consumed together, the nutritional components of both complement each other, and moderate consumption can achieve a balanced diet while providing satiety. If consumed in moderation, combining soy milk and zongzi generally does not cause noticeable discomfort.

　　However, individuals with weak gastrointestinal function or suffering from indigestion may experience bloating, abdominal pain, or other symptoms due to the difficulty in digesting the glutinous rice in zongzi and the protein and water content in soy milk potentially increasing the gastrointestinal burden. For individuals allergic to legumes or glutinous rice, consuming these items together may trigger allergic reactions such as rashes and itching—please refer to allergy information—and such individuals should avoid consuming both together. Additionally, if the zongzi filling contains high levels of fat or sugar, such as in the case of pork belly or honey date fillings, consumption quantity should be carefully controlled when combining with soy milk to avoid excessive caloric intake.

　　Furthermore, in daily diets, it is important to maintain balanced nutrition and diversified food intake, avoiding excessive consumption of any single food item, in order to promote overall health.
