The Spring Festival is one of the four major traditional festivals in China. The seven-day holiday is a good time for family reunions and a good time to enjoy delicious food.

Before feasting on fish and meat, we provide you with a Spring Festival dietary guide, designed to help you eat a reasonable diet, enhance your own immunity, and increase your body's resistance to disease.

01 Reasonable meal preparation and no partiality. Since it is the reunion festival, when cooking at home, you cannot blindly prepare all kinds of meat dishes. When choosing meat, you should give priority to high-quality proteins such as fish, shrimp, and poultry. Livestock meat should be mainly lean meat.

Soy products are also an important source of high-quality protein in the diet.

There should be vegetables in every meal, appropriate intake of more fresh dark vegetables, and no less dishes containing fungi and algae.

At the same time, it is necessary to increase the intake of whole grains and mixed beans. For example, when cooking, add a handful of whole grains such as brown rice and oats to white rice or cook multigrain and mixed bean porridge.

?When dining out, instruct the chef to use less oil and salt, and order less fried, smoked, griddle, and stir-fried dishes when ordering.

If you eat pancakes, sesame balls, pastries and other staple foods, you should eat less rice.

If potatoes, yams, pumpkins, etc. are eaten as vegetables, you should also pay attention to reducing the amount of staple food.

When choosing drinks, replace sugary drinks such as Coke and Sprite with less sweet milk, soy milk or tea to reduce sugar intake.

When you encounter oily or salty dishes, you can prepare an empty bowl to hold some clear soup, put the vegetables into the soup bowl, rinse them before eating, and reduce the intake of fat and salt.

After a meal, you will find a thick layer of oil floating in the soup bowl.

02 Don’t be greedy for delicious snacks. Every household will buy many snacks before the Spring Festival as new year’s goods, such as crispy and delicious salt-baked cashews, pine nuts, sunflower seeds, etc.

Although it’s delicious, don’t be greedy!

In general, when choosing snacks, you should give priority to fresh fruits, milk, nuts, etc., and eat less or no snacks high in sugar, high salt, and high fat, such as candies, cakes, carbonated drinks and other sweets and sugary drinks, potatoes, etc.

Puffed foods such as slices and popcorn, and processed meat products such as jerky and sausages.

?In addition, it is worth noting that due to the high fat content of nuts, they are high-energy foods. If they are consumed too much unknowingly, it can easily lead to excess energy intake. Middle-aged and elderly people and obese people should pay attention.

It is recommended that when purchasing, give priority to fresh, original-flavored nuts. 03. Limit drinking and do not advise drinking. Alcohol can both make people happy and hurt others. Drinking should be done in moderation.

If you drink alcohol during the Spring Festival, you should drink in moderation and be careful not to drink too much.

Everyone has different tolerance levels for alcohol, so be careful not to overdo it when drinking.

Eat some rice, potatoes or vegetables to pad your stomach before drinking. Do not drink on an empty stomach and eat less spicy food when drinking.
