The Spring Festival is not taboo
I'm Xiaohui (dietitian), a dietitian. The Spring Festival is coming, and many people like to eat these 3 types of food on the table, but eating too much is indeed easy to gain weight and hurt the body, let's find out together.
1. Fried
Many families will prepare a lot of fried food with kuay teow, such as fried croquettes, fried fried dumplings, fried twist flowers, fried chicken, french fries, etc., although delicious, but contain a lot of trans fatty acids, eating too much will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, easy to cause cholesterol to rise, will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Suggested food substitutions: If you still want to eat something delicious, you may want to choose grilled ones, such as roast chicken and baked fries, which also have a different flavor.
2. Sunflower seeds
Many people will buy dry goods, especially the whole family likes to nibble on melon seeds, mainly sunflower seeds. But eating too much sunflower seeds can cause indigestion, and sunflower seeds contain high fat, which leads to fat accumulation in the body, increases blood lipids, and causes obesity. Since some food additives may be added to sunflower seeds during processing, it may increase the burden on the liver.
Substitute food: If you still want to nibble on melon seeds, you may want to choose regular pumpkin seeds.
3. Fatty meat
Many people will make a big pot of fatty meat during the festival and make Dongpo meat, bacon, etc. Regardless of the approach, fatty meat is high in fat and cholesterol, and excessive intake will increase the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and hyperlipidemia.
Alternative foods: Chicken, duck and fish can be used, which are richer in protein and less fat than fatty meats, and can be used as substitutes.
