How to eat the top ten New Year dishes to be healthy? Nutritionist: Use this vegetable to metabolize "excess fat"
Top ten hidden landmines in New Year’s dishes? Nutritionists teach you how to eat healthily
The New Year is approaching, and it’s the time for the whole family to get together and enjoy the New Year’s Eve dinner. However, many New Year dishes are high in calories, and eating too many of them will make your body lose shape. Nutritionist Liu Yili of Taiwan Adventist Hospital said in an interview that each of the 10 common New Year dishes has “diet mines” that should be paid attention to, and the public is reminded to consume them in moderation to avoid the three highs and poor control of chronic diseases.
1. Buddha jumps over the wall
- Eat less fried fillings, such as taro and bird eggs.
- The soup contains high-purine, so it is recommended to consume it in moderation.
2. Perennial vegetables
- Most of them are “mustard greens” in the north, and “baby spinach” in the south.
- Both vegetables are rich in fiber, which can help the body eliminate fat.
- You can prepare root vegetables, such as radish and burdock, during the Chinese New Year to help relieve fatigue after eating New Year vegetables.
3. Rice cake or steamed rice cake
- The GI value is high and eating too much can easily lead to obesity.
- Rice cake is prone to indigestion, so it is recommended to eat it in small pieces for better digestion.
- Two rice cakes the size of “three fingers” have half the calories of a bowl of rice. Diabetics need to pay attention to starch replacement and moderate intake. Do not eat rice cakes as snacks to avoid high blood pressure and blood sugar.
4. Carrot cake
- It is recommended not to fry in oil. Steaming in an electric pot is healthier and reduces fat intake.
- Two pieces of carrot cake contain the same calories as “half a bowl of rice”, so it is recommended to replace staple food (such as rice, noodles, rice noodles) and eat it with vegetables.
5. fish
- It is recommended to buy fish of appropriate size during the Chinese New Year. Seafood is not recommended to be eaten every other meal.
- Try to steam or boil it in an electric pot, or fry it in a little oil. Avoid braising, frying, and thickening.
6. Drunken Chicken
- Roast chicken, drunken chicken or boiled chicken, you can choose chicken breast or chicken legs. Those who are afraid of getting fat or are losing weight should avoid parts with high fat content such as chicken wings and chicken feet.
- Patients with hyperlipidemia should remember to remove the chicken skin before eating it to avoid rising cholesterol.
7. Mullet roe
- Mullet roe is high in cholesterol, so the intake should be controlled. It can be eaten with garlic sprouts, white radish or apple slices to relieve fatigue. Daikon is a cruciferous vegetable that may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
8. Dumplings
- Ground meat has a high fat content. It is recommended to pair it with vegetables, such as soup dumplings.
- It is recommended that women take 6-8 pills per meal, and men 8-10 pills.
9. Pig’s feet
- The fat content is too high, so it is recommended to eat it with green vegetables or vegetables.
- Broth contains high oil and sodium, so try not to mix rice with broth.
10. Sausage
- Limit to 1-2 servings a day.
- Steaming in an electric pot before cooking can reduce nitrite content.
- It can be eaten with garlic, guava, strawberries, oranges and other foods.
After eating the New Year dishes, all the numbers will change color? Nutritionists remind you of important dietary points during the New Year
Nutritionist Liu Yili reminds that excessive alcohol can cause obesity and fatty liver problems. It is recommended to have a small drink during the Chinese New Year and avoid drinking too strong alcohol. It is healthier to change alcoholic and sugary drinks to sugar-free tea when appropriate. Diabetic patients and those with high blood pressure should avoid consuming alcohol to avoid hypoglycemia or vascular embolism. Nutritionist Liu Yili also reminded the three high-income groups on the key points they should pay attention to during the New Year diet:
Diabetes: You need to pay attention to starch replacement and moderate intake. Do not eat rice cakes as snacks. The lotus seeds in sugar-fried chestnuts and lotus seed soup are all starches, so excessive intake should be avoided.
Hyperlipidemia: It is recommended to consume more green vegetables and consume them with every meal. Vegetables are rich in B complex and dietary fiber. If you don’t like vegetables, you can use mushrooms instead to help with fat metabolism.
High blood pressure: Avoid drinking soup, or eating too much high-sodium foods such as black vinegar, bean paste, chili sauce, and spicy oil.
In addition to the top ten New Year dishes, many families eat hot pot around the fire during the Chinese New Year. Nutritionist Liu Yili said that most hot pot soup bases are made of high-purine. People with gout should avoid excessive intake, and it is not recommended to use the soup base for cooking. If the soup base is sauerkraut and white broth, remember not to cook it repeatedly to avoid eating too much nitrite.
In addition, when eating hot pot for more than two consecutive meals, do not add too much to processed dumplings, hot pot ingredients and other high-sodium foods, otherwise the sodium content in the hot pot soup will easily exceed the standard.
