21.12.2023 08:30
Many people wait for the New Year holidays only to eat their fill of unhealthy and tasty dishes.
Just one such short period will be enough to gain weight and harm the body.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that the holidays pass at least harmlessly.
What 5 tricks will help with this?
Baking instead of frying
Animal products are often served as main dishes. Many choose fried meat and poultry. This is one of the most harmful options.
That's why nutritionists recommend baking meat products for the holidays. It will be no less tasty, but healthier.
Homemade drinks instead of juices and sodas
It is worth remembering that fruit juices from the store are not considered healthy drinks. Soda is an extremely harmful drink.
Instead, offer your guests homemade drinks. Non-alcoholic mulled wine or lemonade are excellent options.
Give up mayonnaise
This sauce, without a doubt, plays an extremely important role in creating traditional dishes for the holiday table. However, it is very high in calories.
Therefore, it is worth either preparing it yourself or choosing lighter dressing options. For example, Greek yogurt or sour cream can be used as an alternative.
Fruits instead of cake and pastries
Many people serve cake or pastries for dessert, which is obviously unnecessary after an already high-calorie meal. But fresh fruits and berries are a healthier and lighter option.
You can serve completely different fruits that you cannot afford on regular days.
Limit alcohol
Despite the fact that the main damage to the figure is caused by the festive table, alcoholic drinks "specialize" on the body as a whole.
Many people are used to not limiting themselves to alcohol during the holidays. This is a very dangerous idea. Just one such feast can cause unprecedented damage to the body.
Therefore, try to stick to small amounts of quality alcohol.
