Nutritionist named the most dangerous dishes of the New Year's table

Nutritionist, Doctor of Medical Sciences Elena Khokhlova told which dishes on the New Year's table pose the greatest danger to health. According to the expert, in one evening a person can get up to 3,000 kcal and up to 190 g of fat, which is significantly higher than the daily norm.

"Salads with mayonnaise remain the absolute leaders in the number of sad consequences. They create a huge load on the pancreas and liver, and multicomponent dishes quickly become an ideal breeding ground for bacteria if left on the table overnight," Khokhlova said.

The nutritionist associates a particular danger with food combinations. According to the expert, the so—called deadly triad — alcohol, fatty foods and mayonnaise - can cause acute pancreatitis, and mixing several types of alcohol increases intoxication of the body. Combinations of protein foods with citrus fruits and fatty meat with bean side dishes, which cause fermentation and heartburn, are also harmful.

Khokhlova stressed that New Year's experiments with food are especially dangerous for people with chronic gastrointestinal diseases, patients with hypertension and kidney diseases, as well as for children and the elderly.

The expert gave recommendations on how to spend the holiday without harm to health. She advises you to think over the menu in advance, cook only your favorite dishes, replace mayonnaise in salads with yogurt or sour cream, observe moderation and the "one plate" rule, control alcohol and alternate it with water, and finish the feast before 22-23 hours.

"New Year is a celebration of joy, not a test for the body. A reasonable approach to the menu and moderation will help you meet it cheerfully and without health consequences," Elena Khokhlova summed up.
