Can people with coronary heart disease eat tangyuan?

Patients with coronary heart disease can eat tangyuan (glutinous rice balls) in moderation, but should avoid consuming too many at once. Tangyuan contain relatively high levels of sugar and fat, which may lead to elevated blood glucose or fat accumulation, potentially worsening disease control. Patients with coronary heart disease should generally maintain a diet low in salt, fat, and sugar to support overall health.
