Dragon vegetables to celebrate the New Year
The Spring Festival is approaching, and every family's table will undoubtedly be filled with all kinds of delicious dishes. In such a festive atmosphere, many people are worried about "losing weight and fat" after the holiday, and the Spring Festival holiday will become "Spring Festival fake fat". Today, let's talk about how to enjoy food during the Spring Festival, and at the same time "lose three pounds during the festival".
Selected ingredients, quality first
The Spring Festival is a period of high incidence of heavy taste and high fat, and many traditional dishes use oil, sugar and salt as the main condiments. For the sake of health, we can start by choosing ingredients. For example:
Low-fat meats such as chicken breast, fish, lean pork, etc. Prepare more fresh vegetables, such as leafy greens and root vegetables. Whenever possible, choose whole grains, such as brown rice, oats, whole wheat bread, etc., instead of refined white rice and white flour.
Cooking, health is king
The way you cook your food has a huge impact on the nutrition and health of your food. The following cooking methods are recommended:
Steaming, boiling, stewing, roasting, and try to avoid frying and frying.
Cooking uses the moisture of the ingredients themselves to reduce the use of oil.
Try to choose natural spices for condiments, such as fresh ginger, garlic, coriander, etc., and reduce the amount of salt and monosodium glutamate.
, with quantity as the guide
At festive dinners, we often unconsciously increase the amount of food because of the excitement and atmosphere. At this time, the meal distribution system can effectively control the amount of food:
Using small plates can help you control your portion and reduce your calorie intake.
Savor each bite of food slowly and chew slowly to feel the taste of the food and help reduce the amount of food you eat.
Avoiding chatting while eating, and concentrating on enjoying your food can help you feel full in time.
Eat a reasonable meal to be nutritionally balanced
The three meals a day should ensure a balanced intake of nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, fats and fibers
For breakfast, you can choose oatmeal, whole wheat bread with low-fat milk or soy milk, and a serving of fruit.
Choose protein-rich foods for lunch, such as chicken breast salad, fish, soy products, etc.
Try to have a light dinner, choose light vegetable soup, steamed eggs, etc., and reduce your carbohydrate intake.
Be active to burn calories
In addition to diet, proper exercise is also essential. During the Spring Festival, you can invite family and friends to accompany you to increase the fun of sports.
Try some home indoor exercises like yoga, Pilates, aerobics, etc.
Taking a walk after a meal not only helps digestion, but also allows you to enjoy quality time with family and friends.
Through the above methods, you can not only enjoy food during the Spring Festival, but also hold the line of defense for your health, and even achieve the small goal of "losing three pounds every festival".
Wishing you a happy Chinese New Year, good health, and a relaxed and happy Year of the Dragon!
