Chinese New Year is one of the biggest traditional festivals of the year, and at this festive time, delicious seafood often becomes the focus of family dinners. However, in order to stay healthy, we need to be mindful of moderation when enjoying the delicious taste of seafood to avoid excessive intake. At the same time, healthier cooking methods can also make seafood tastier.
Reasonable control of consumption amounts. Seafood is rich in high-quality protein, minerals, and unsaturated fatty acids, but also relatively high in cholesterol and purines. When tasting delicious seafood, it is necessary to pay attention to the moderate intake and not overeat. It can be combined with other ingredients to form a balanced table combination to ensure a complete nutritional intake.
Choose a light way to cook. Traditional cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling, and grilling, can reduce the extra fat intake and maintain the original flavor of the seafood compared to frying or stewing. The light cooking method can highlight the freshness of the seafood and is more in line with the concept of healthy eating.
Focus on choosing fresh seafood. When buying seafood, try to choose fresh, live seafood and avoid varieties that have gone bad. Fresh seafood not only tastes better, but also has more health benefits. Carefully observe the appearance and smell of seafood before buying to ensure its freshness.
Served with abundant vegetables. Eating seafood with vegetables can not only reduce the overall calorie density, but also increase the intake of dietary fiber and promote gut health. Choose some vegetables that are rich in vitamins and minerals, such as spinach, broccoli, carrots, etc., to make the table more colorful.
Pay attention to the choice of dipping sauce. Traditional dipping sauces, such as mustard, soy sauce, and grated ginger, may also bring extra calories and sodium salt, although they can enhance the taste of seafood. Try some light dipping sauces such as lemon juice, low-salt soy sauce, vanilla olive oil, etc., to reduce the extra calorie intake.
During the Chinese New Year, seafood can be a delicious and healthy dish by controlling the amount of food consumed moderately, choosing a light cooking method, buying fresh seafood, pairing it with abundant vegetables and paying attention to the choice of dipping sauce. Let's enjoy a healthy and delicious Spring Festival seafood feast in the joyful festival.
