Christmas table without consequences


Christmas table without consequencesIf the aliens decided to visit the Earth the night of 31 December, they would be amazed. I don't think the aliens would have thought that we celebrate the New year, rather they would have thought that we say goodbye to life. How else to explain manic desire in one sitting to eat this amount of food? In each apartment, regardless of the wealth of its inhabitants the same picture: the tables are literally groaning with food. High-calorie salads, meat and fish appetizers, baked ham, vegetables, fruits, desserts, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks - all presented with panache. Guests, like mice in the joke, "cry, inject, but continue to chew cactus". All impossible tasty, but at the same time terribly harmful. In the morning the children find gifts under a Christmas tree, and adults - 10 extra pounds, poor health and mood for him. Here's a fun holiday. But if you go to the Banquet with the mind, many problems can be avoided.



What you eat?


The cornerstone




To the feast, not turned into an Orgy of gluttony, you need to follow two simple rules. First: grab a bite to eat before. Usually everything is exactly the opposite - day 31 of December, we are trying to eat as little as possible, so as not to spoil the appetite and fully enjoy your night meal. And then naleem on food and eat much more than is required. Second rule: do not mix incompatible products. Their list is small, so make the correct menu is actually quite easy.





Everything and more


Is it possible to imagine New year without salad? Of course, no. Because this dish with a bottle of champagne and the film "Irony of fate" - the main symbols of the holiday. But Olivier in the classical version is not the best table decoration. It's too complicated salad, which equally does not fit well with all the other treats - whether fish or meat, fruit or vegetables. Olivier well there separately, as it is in itself a real lunch. So what to do? To abandon it altogether?




Radical measures to anything. To make the salad was useful, it should be slightly easier to remove from the ingredients potatoes. He combined with meat is one of the most harmful duets. It turns out that the absorption of these components occurs at the initial stage under different conditions: first, in the acidic environment, the second - in alkaline medium. Thus, carbohydrates potatoes inhibit the digestion and absorption of proteins of meat. The undesirable neighborhood loaded main digestive organs - stomach and liver. Therefore boiled potatoes in Olivier's better to replace the canned pineapple. Such improvisation taste of Christmas salad will only improve. Moreover, in the composition of this fruit has the enzyme bromelain, which activates digestion, preventing heaviness in the stomach. Pineapple also perfectly breaks down animal protein, thus helping the body to quickly absorb all eaten.




As for other popular salad herring under a fur coat, it is another unwanted, hard to stomach the combination of: potatoes plus herring. Safely remove the first from the list of ingredients or replace it with zucchini. The taste and appearance of dishes will not be affected, and the body will say thank you very much for this improvement.




The rest of the salad if possible, use low-fat sour cream or vegetable oil. If the recipe does not tolerate any other ingredients except mayonnaise, buy light soy product - harm from him less than usual.





Fish meat is not a hindrance?


Red caviar rightly bears the title of this festive meals. On the tables it appears mainly on the celebrations. Alas, not in splendid isolation, that would be ideal, but in the company of various meats - sausages, Carbonado, ham. All of these products a huge amount of protein, but one that contains caviar, easier to digest, but the one in the meat, is much heavier. The result of the mix sliced eggs" can be heaviness in the stomach and pain in the. The best neighbors for granular speciality is seafood - crabs, prawns and squid. However, if you just can't do without cuts - don't eat them at the same time with caviar. Serve it as a light snack for an aperitif, and sausage and ham later, after a pause. Although nutritionists believe that the new year's eve is better to spend without these extremely harmful products. In their opinion, any smoked sausage prefer the piece of roast meat. At least it is much less calories.





For dessert


When choosing a dessert, you should take into account that the ice cream, milkshakes and cakes with custard completely incompatible with herring, caviar, smoked white and red fish. Of course, you can try to oppress one another, but then be prepared for the revolution in the belly: the salt will reduce the acidity of gastric juice, and to him, the outcome will not be able to cope with milk that is included with sweets. It is because, according to the rules of physiology, should storerotica, but will remain liquid. Yes and herring when it really is not digested. The result is an explosive mixture in transit will pass through the body, will cause increased flatulence, bloating, pain and diarrhea.




So, if on your table and an abundance of seafood, dessert is better to choose fresh or canned fruit, candy and ice cream-sorbet. The latest to get involved is not worth it, unless, of course, you don't want January 1, lie down with a sore throat.





What to drink?


Champagne, wine, juices, mineral or sweet soda - what to put on the Christmas table? The correct drink will become the centrepiece of the meal, while rough mix liquids can ruin the entire holiday.




The main alcoholic drink New year champagne should be the exception, not the rule at the party. Certainly, without it, the holiday is not a holiday. But note that this carbonated alcohol slows down the digestive processes. For example, braised lamb ribs, piece of grilled pork or ham, if you will pour the ice-cold champagne, sustinet in the stomach. Because of this, the digestive juices will start to be formed with redoubled force to cope with difficult cargo. In the end, the food will still make their way further, failing to receive an adequate treatment of gastric enzymes. And the last under stress for some time will still be actively generated. The most offensive that as a result of this "food of the conflict," you will feel still hungry and will continue luncheon. As a result, you are provided overeating and morning shock from what he saw on the scales. And to avoid this, give tribute to the traditions and raise a glass of champagne Brut, when sounding chimes, but the rest of the time drink dry red wine.




As for soft drinks, oddly enough, it is possible to prefer fizzy. In small quantities they stimulate the digestive processes, and it is good if you eat a lot. According to nutritionists, should not be abused and sweet juices, if you eat fatty meat or fish. Great content in these drinks carbohydrates prevents the active absorption of proteins.





Expert opinion


Valery Sergeev, dietitian, gastroenterologist, candidate of medical Sciences




Christmas table - a real test for the stomach, which is very difficult to cope with the proposed amount of food. People have already had enough, but he can't stop it, because there are so many delicious not Rosprombank. How to deal with it? Suppress the urge force of will? Optional. Refrain from the main causative agents of food - salt and pepper. It is clear that without them the food seems fresh. However, taste buds can be fooled by replacing spices, aromatic herbs (Basil, tarragon, cilantro and parsley) and lemon (or grapefruit) juice: they will give the dish flavor and satiety you will feel faster than absorbing spicy, salty food. If overeating could not be avoided, drink a glass of alkaline mineral non-carbonated water, it will speed up the digestion process and helps to avoid unpleasant feelings.
