Chinese food is not healthy for elderly, chronological ill people.
Maybe it's not good for anyone from the start! It's definitely a no for diabetic patients like me. I can't eat any rice, noodles or bread.
It has too much simple carbs and saturated fat. I've quit it for years. Healthy diets should include a lot of bean products, fish and nuts, spices and olive oil. Dumplings and noodles are on the opposite to the above foods, it's packed with carbs and/or fat. And the most dangerous part of eating dumplings is the speed and quantity it's being consumed. It makes blood sugar spike quicker.
