It's about to enter the Year of the Tiger in the Lunar Calendar. Pinch your fingers... At this time, the big guys should start to prepare the new year goods at home. Chinese the choice of New Year goods, the meaning is very important. New Year goods are not good to use and delicious, but they must express a beautiful meaning for the coming year.
Like every New Year in my hometown, pistachios are essential in the list of New Year goods. So as long as it is the lunar new year, pistachios will be sold out in supermarkets. Do you dare to believe that you want to rob?
Like what sugar winter melon, fried food, spicy melon seed peanut candy, are children's snacks from snacks to big New Year snacks. But since the meaning is said, if you can choose a healthier New Year product, won't the health index burst in the next year?
So today to recommend some healthy New Year goods, if you are buying New Year goods, remember to take a look here first.
Take advantage of small snacks
To play cards in the New Year, you must have a few small zero (evil) eaters (demons) in your hand, and pick them up to take two sips. Therefore, these small snacks are easy to "accidentally" enjoy excessive amounts, and must be well chosen. I've roughly divided these small snacks into these categories:
“
1
Protein: Preserved meat & dairy products & soy products
Dried meat is a small snack that everyone likes, and it is also very suitable for making New Year goods, such as dried chicken, pork and beef jerky are all good choices.
However, when buying, try to choose less flavorful dried meat. For example, what honey sauce pork slices, spiced beef jerky and the like, try not to choose (it seems that there are not many choices...). ）。 However, a treasure has direct air-dried meat without additives, which can be considered.
Now there are also a lot of chicken crisps and beef crisps that do not add extra oil on the market, and they are used to replace traditional preserved meat, which is small and enjoyable, which is a good choice for hoarding goods.
Dairy products are also a great source of protein. The principle of purchase is also similar, if the packaging writes the word "flavor", then try not to choose. Recommended order of purchase: live original yogurt> pasteurized milk (to be refrigerated) > pure milk (stored at room temperature) > flavored yogurt.
Soy products are rich in plant protein, there is a certain sense of satiety, soy products of small snacks like dried beans, soybean grains are good. However, in general, dried tofu will add a little "flavor", such as adding salt, eating too much can easily lead to sodium exceeding the standard (such as spicy strips). When we buy, we try to choose those with low sodium content in the nutrition facts list.

Vitamins: Fruit and vegetable crisps
My personal favorite, eating crunchy, has the satisfaction of eating potato chips, but the ingredients are much healthier. But we are also saying that this type of dried fruits and vegetables will lead to higher fat content because of their production method, that is, greater calorie density. If you care about calories, don't eat too much. Buy hard hard and crunchy, eat time-consuming, not easy to eat more.
3
Fat: Nuts
Nut foods are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, such as walnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, hazelnuts, pecans, peanuts and so on are very good choices.
However, when purchasing, try to choose the original flavor. Do not pick nuts that have been flavored. This type of salt is generally added, which can easily lead to excessive sodium intake.
Nuts are also high in fat, so they also need to try to control their intake. It is recommended that the daily intake of nuts not exceed one palm.
Drink it on the hour
Healthy snacks to eat, it's time for the whole two cups ~ New Year's alcohol is definitely a must-have at home guy. So I wouldn't recommend it here... And I don't recommend drinking. If you need to accompany a relative to drink two drinks, use the following instead of "fooling" for a while.
Of course, the best drink option is boiled water, or milk. For a taste boost, opt for coconut water and sugar-free/low-sugar sparkling water. The texture of drinking is also good, and there is no need to worry about too high calories.
A glass of sparkling water, toast to the elders ~
One cup honor New Year, Full of respect health ~
However, the Most Important Thing for the New Year is to be happy. At this time, it is really inhumane to ask everyone to eat less. But choose to eat some healthier foods as much as possible, at least there will not be too much guilt in your heart. Having a drink with the elders is not a big deal. Lose weight beforehand to leave it behind~
