Dr. Zhao Lianli
Century eggs (preserved duck eggs) can raise blood glucose levels; therefore, patients should consume them sparingly. Moreover, century eggs contain relatively high levels of lead, which may severely affect individuals with compromised health. Patients should also avoid foods rich in sugar—such as cakes, honey, and candies—and adhere to a low-salt, low-fat diet.
