Is it possible to think through a holiday menu in such a way as not to harm your health?

Traditionally, festive table distinguished by the abundance and variety of dishes. Delicacies, fatty, fried, smoked foods, tasty but “heavy” food combinations for our digestion, as well as alcohol and significantly exceeding the usual serving size - all this results not only in excess weight or alcohol intoxication, but simply a hangover, but also possible problems With gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and liver: poisoning, constipation, feeling of heaviness in the stomach, indigestion, nausea, heartburn, headache, hypertensive crisis, exacerbation of chronic diseases and other troubles.

Even those who observe fasting, which, as is known, falls on New Year's Eve, may be at risk, since spoiled homemade or store-bought pickles (mushrooms, cucumbers, cabbage) can cause food poisoning.

Is it possible to organize New Year's feast in accordance with the principles proper nutrition?. Recommendations and recipes for a healthy holiday table are waiting for you in our review!

Your New Year's first aid kit must contain drugs that improve
digestion and help with heartburn, bloating, overeating,
flatulence, excessive load on the liver and pancreas: festal,
smecta, Activated carbon, mezim, creon, maalox, almagel.

Before the feast: to eat or not to eat?

The main rule is no fasting! It is better to sit at the table slightly full, since abstinence or a long break between meals during the day provokes night overeating.

It is recommended to eat something half an hour before the feast rich in fiber, proteins or sweets (apple, banana, some nuts or a few spoons of fresh vegetable salad, 200-250 g of boiled lean meat) and drink sweetened tea or a glass of water. This will provide a quick rise in blood sugar levels, some feeling of satiety and a decrease in appetite. In addition, fiber binds fats and promotes good bowel function.

During the feast: to eat - what, when and how much?

It is most reasonable to start the feast between 19 and 21 hours, at the usual dinner time for the body. And for the festive midnight it will be appropriate light dessert and some champagne.

To avoid overeating, try everything you want, but just try - eat little by little. According to the “rule of the palm” recommended by nutritionists, a single serving should not exceed 350 g, and most of it should be fresh vegetables and fish.

As for the methods of preparing meat and fish, it is better to give preference to baked, boiled, stewed or grilled dishes rather than fried or battered. Veal, rabbit, chicken, turkey are preferable to pork or lamb, and red fish: pink salmon, salmon, trout, salmon, chum salmon are valuable high content polyunsaturated fatty acids.

"Dangerous" foods on the New Year's table

Food allergens
These include nuts, caviar, chocolate, citrus fruits, strawberries, fish, seafood, etc. Those who are prone to allergies are better off avoiding these gastronomic temptations.

Mayonnaise
Factory-made sauce is very high in calories and contains a lot of fat. If you have no opportunity or desire to cook homemade mayonnaise, refuse the store-bought product and dishes with it in favor of more natural and easier-to-digest dressings and sauces.

Cheeses
Cheese is good for a holiday table in small quantities. If the main dishes are meat or fish, it is better to eat a little cheese so as not to overload the body with protein and fats. The lightest types of cheese are Adyghe cheese, feta cheese, and tofu.

Spicy and salty
Pickles, marinades, some sauces and spices stimulate appetite and increase thirst, and in the end you will overeat and force the body to drink more. It will be difficult for him to cope with the additional volume of water with a rich diet.

Desserts with butter cream
Cakes and pastries with sponge or sand base And butter cream“will affect” not only the waist, but also the deterioration of the liver and pancreas, overloaded with other excesses. Soufflés, jellies, meringues and marmalades are ideal and relatively light holiday desserts.

If you are constantly taking medications, consult
consult your doctor in advance regarding their compatibility with alcohol, citrus fruits
and other foods and drinks that are traditionally
are on the holiday table.

To drink or not to drink?

Relatively safe dose nutritionists and gastroenterologists call dry and champagne wines 200-300 ml for every 1.5 hour of the feast, strong drinks - 100-120 ml. Give preference better than cognac, champagne or dry wine if you don’t want to give up alcohol at the festive table. They promote metabolic processes and do not cause a strong appetite.

Follow the “degree rule”: the alcohol level cannot be lowered! If you want to try several drinks, drink the lighter one first (wine, liqueur), and only then vodka, whiskey or cognac.

It is not advisable to mix strong alcohol With fruit juices, sweet soda or mineral water with gas - this enhances the fermentation processes of food in the stomach.

And remember that alcohol is high in calories, so there is a risk of gaining too much without even tucking into the treat.

After a feast: how to stay in good shape?

If possible, celebrate the New Year actively. If your New Year's program includes not only the joys of a gourmet, but also conversations, dancing, entertainment and walks in the fresh air, your body will have a place to spend the calories it receives.

So, to begin with, we dilute the first jelly with boiling water and pour it about 3 cm thick onto the bottom of our bowl. Then we put the glasses in a cool place for a couple of hours.

When the first layer hardens, pour the second layer of jelly in the same way. For the second layer, choose a jelly that is contrasting in color, for example, pour red or yellow over green.

This needs to be done as many times as there are layers you want to have in ready dessert. The top of your culinary miracle can be decorated with any fruit. In this case, kiwi or orange look very advantageous, as they will match the color of one of the layers of our dessert.
