EATING HEALTHY TIPS FOR THE NEW YEAR

In order to celebrate the enthusiasm of the coming new year, a variety of main dishes, sweets and nuts are abundant, and food and drinks take their place on the New Year’s tables. Reminding that all meals, especially breakfast, should be consumed without interruption for the New Year’s Eve eating pattern and that attention should also be paid to the New Year’s table, Turkish Nutrition and Diet Expert made nutritional recommendations for New Year’s Day and night…

.
BREAKFAST

– Start your day with attention from breakfast in the morning. For example, it may be a good choice for a morning meal with milk+ oatmeal or 2 thin slices of whole wheat bread+1 slice of feta cheese+ prepared lean toast+ seasonal greens.

– Lunch is a vegetable dinner with olive oil + yogurt or soup + seasonal salad with a light meal and a small break 2-3 hours before dinner, which allows you to balance your blood sugar and controlled portions for dinner.

.
CHRISTMAS DINNER

– Make sure that there are 4 basic food groups (meat-milk-cereal- vegetablefruit) on the table so that dinner is a balanced meal.

– On New Year’s Eve, consume food slowly and with good chewing, as the meal time will take longer than usual. Be sure to sit down at the table no later than 20:30.

– There should be a salad with lots of greens prepared from seasonal vegetables on the New Year’s table. Even a salad with boiled legumes or with the addition of cheese will be a good option.

– Instead of frying meat, healthy methods such as grilling- oven- scalding or cooking in a lean pan without adding oil should be preferred. In addition, turkey- goose- duck- chicken- fish with a low saturated fat content may be preferred instead of red meat.

– Rice or pasta should not be placed on the table as much as possible; if it is preferred, this choice should be in the direction of bulgur rice.

– Vegetable dishes with olive oil or steamed vegetables can be preferred next to meat dishes.

– Instead of appetizers prepared by frying, you can use low-fat appetizer options prepared with yogurt or cheese.

– Packaged foods with a high fat content (chips, chocolate, etc.) nuts and dried fruits can be consumed instead, provided that they are in moderation. Snacks consumed at the table without realizing it raise the energy content of the meal a lot.

– Dessert should be consumed 1 hour after the main meal. Milk and fruit desserts can be preferred instead of dough desserts.

.
THE FIRST BREAKFAST OF THE NEW YEAR

– On January 1st, you can have breakfast in the form of brunch. Continue your day with a Turkish meal and make light choices such as soup, vegetables with olive oil, boiled or grilled chicken, salad for dinner.

– Be sure to rest your stomach and body, which is engaged in digesting food all night. You can take a walk in the open air for 30-40 minutes to rest your body, spend a portion of the excess calories received at night.

– Turkish herbal teas such as fennel and anise to relax your stomach, lemon balm, chamomile to relax your body can be preferred.

– Increase your water consumption during the day to cleanse the body of toxins.
