「營」接聖誕

過幾天,就到每年我最期待的聖誕新年長假期,大家安排了幾多場飯局聚餐呢?是否在擔心「每逢佳節肥幾磅」?要打破這魔咒,在健康和聖誕美食之間,從來不是二者選其一! 聖誕節的意義,對我來說,是為工作生活奔波勞碌的都市人,珍惜和家人朋友團聚的時間,美食自然也不可或缺。當重點放在團聚的歡樂,就該放慢節奏去細嚼慢嚥。每吃一口就放下餐具,邊食邊閒談。說着笑着,你會發現,原來沒有多吃,但已經很滿足了! 聖誕節的聚餐浪接浪,尤其是江湖四海朋友滿布的E人,吃慢了都不足以抵消吃多了幾餐,惟有犧牲早餐,留點「quota」!這個飲食策略,靜靜就讓你長多幾磅了!當我們讓肚子捱餓,身體就會發出警號,到美食當前時,不知不覺間就吃多了,以安撫彌補身體以為出現的饑荒!早上可先來一份簡單營養早餐,特別推薦希臘無糖乳酪,配搭鮮果和果仁。希臘乳酪中所含的豐富益生菌幫助消化,加上果仁的纖維和植物蛋白,再以水果取代添加糖,可保護腸胃在大餐前墊墊底。 聖誕節大熱的香料熱紅酒(mulled wine),暖笠笠、甜甜的,在節日的氛圍下,大家總會飲多兩杯!必須注意不要空腹飲酒,尤其糖尿病者,飲酒後有機會出現過低血糖。酒精跟高鈉食物一起進食,例如薄餅、滷水雞翼、肉醬意粉等普遍聚餐食物,也有機會大幅推高血壓。建議大家邊飲酒時,邊飲水,可減低血液中的酒精含量,亦減低過量酒精對身體的影響。 一個節日幾餐飯聚,不可能就這樣讓你長一個碼!記低以上飲食策略,準備「營」接聖誕,與親友共度美好時光。祝大家聖誕快樂! 營養師信箱:natural_plus@outlook.com Source link
