Director Lai Zhongliang of Puzi Hospital reminds that if people already have chronic diseases such as kidney disease or heart disease, consuming too many sodium-containing foods and condiments during the Mid-Autumn Festival will cause an excess of electrolytes in the body. Eating foods high in sodium will easily lead to difficulty in controlling blood pressure. Patients may suffer from poor kidney function and a sudden increase in potassium ions, leading to arrhythmia or other complications, which can easily be life-threatening.

In addition, people need to check whether their medicine bags have the words "Do not consume grapefruit" because the effect of grapefruit on drug metabolism may last for several hours or even two or three days, depending on the individual. People who are taking medications are reminded to eat with caution to avoid interactions.
