The five most harmful New Year’s dishes and how to replace them
Not only traditional salads with mayonnaise were on the black list of nutritionists, but also products that we used to consider healthy.
What dishes can you not imagine New Year’s Eve without? Tangerines, red caviar, numerous salads, snacks and cold cuts? Or maybe without this jellied fish, as in “The Irony of Fate”?
We don’t want to upset you, but some products would be better off the festive table. Nutritionists have compiled the top 5 New Year’s “harmful things” – those that cause stomach pains all the following days. And at the same time they explained how they can be replaced.
Are you surprised? After all, citruses are a source of vitamin C, and the best prevention against all winter colds. That’s how it is … Yes, only tangerines should be eaten at the beginning of the feast, and not for dessert.

«That is unnecessary. You just don’t have to lean on tangerines after meat. Once in the stomach after the main dishes, heavy meat, they will not be digested. And they will begin to ferment, causing heartburn, belching and bloating, – shares the nutritionist Angelina Artipova… – It is also better to limit yourself to a few tangerines, rather than eat the whole package. In this case, you will still protect yourself from allergies. “
With the growing popularity of catering, these small, tasty and, most importantly, convenient snacks are now available at almost every party. However, in reality, the shortbread dough is very fatty, and if you add the filling to this, then you will get such a blow to the pancreas and gallbladder, which your body will not forget for many months.
In addition, the tartlets look so tiny that you will not even notice how you overeat these tiny baskets.

“Cheese or nuts are the best substitute. Both products will also help to knock down the appetite for the beginning of the feast, – continued the nutritionist. – Another option – canapes on rye bread. Feel free to put the same cheese, caviar, fresh fish. “
It would seem that vegetables are the most useful on any table. But the filling scares. The combination of mayonnaise with cheese is not only high-calorie in itself, but it will also immediately “say hello” to the pancreas.

“Delight your guests with low-calorie caprese – cut the tomatoes into thin rings, put some mozzarella on each ring, sprinkle with herbs and sprinkle with olive oil. Tasty, healthy, ”the doctor advises.
This includes any of their varieties, especially with meat, mushrooms, onions and carrots. How did these products displease us? Yes, in fact, nothing, only they are usually sent to salads fried in oil. And lettuce floors are layered profusely with our best friend mayonnaise.
Than to replace?
“You can, of course, come up with all kinds of casseroles without mayonnaise, but Olivier is a tradition. And to criticize him is to encroach on the sacred. Therefore, let the Olivier remain, only the sausage should be replaced with boiled meat or red fish, says Angelina Artipova. – And yes, you do not need to finish on January 1 everything that is not eaten. Do not spare food, take pity on the body and cook yourself porridge for breakfast to enable the body to recover. “
Pickled mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers, as well as all kinds of pickles from the supermarket are another “pest” on the festive table. The marinade contains so much salt, vinegar and all kinds of seasonings that you will suffer from thirst for at least the whole evening, and maybe even a few more days.

“Preservatives are inherently bad. Vegetables completely lose not only all useful properties, but also taste. So with the same success, you can simply dilute the salt in water and scoop up with a spoon. I recommend slicing fresh vegetables sprinkled with olive oil, ”recommended the nutritionist.
