The calorie bomb in the New Year snack world! The top 3 are…

The Year of the Golden Rooster is about to arrive, and every household is rushing to buy New Year’s goods, especially cookies and snacks that are loved by both adults and children! However, the National Health Administration reminds that a small piece of snack is a powerful "calorie bomb". The top three are: chocolate crisps, sesame egg rolls and hazelnut chocolate. People should not eat one snack after another during the Chinese New Year, so as not to gain weight!

3 sinful snacks: chocolate chips, sesame egg rolls, hazelnut chocolate

During the Chinese New Year, families and friends get together, and many people watch TV and chat while eating snacks. However, these small and light snacks contain hidden dangers of high calories, high oil, high sugar and high salt.

According to an analysis by the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the top three common snacks (biscuits) on the market in terms of calories, fat content, and sugar content are: chocolate chips (35 grams per piece, 168 calories, containing 6.5 grams of fat and 7.9 grams of sugar), sesame egg rolls (15 grams per piece, 86 calories, containing 5.4 grams of fat and 4 grams of sugar), and hazelnut chocolate (12 grams per piece, 66 calories, containing 3.9 grams of fat and 4.8 grams of sugar). It's hard not to gain weight if you eat too much of them.

After eating more than 900 calories of snacks for 6 days, I had to climb 18 Taipei 101s

In addition, if people eat 1 pack of chocolate bars (about 45 grams), 4 dried mangoes (about 40 grams), 5 slices of honey pork jerky (about 50 grams), 1 handful of squid shreds (about 30 grams), 2 nougat cakes and 3 twisted rolls (about 30 grams) every day during the Spring Festival, the calories in snacks alone will exceed 900 calories per day, which is equivalent to half of the recommended daily calorie intake of 1,800 calories for a normal weight static worker of 60 kg. The calories accumulated from eating for 6 consecutive days would require climbing 18 Taipei 101 buildings (2,046 steps) to burn them off.

Snacks that are small in size and light in weight may contain high calories, high oil, high sugar and high salt.

Don’t be afraid of getting fat by eating snacks during the Chinese New Year! These 3 secrets must be followed

How can we celebrate the New Year happily and healthily? Wang Yingwei, director of the National Health Administration, provides three ways to eat snacks during the Chinese New Year without getting fat, including: "Pick fresh fruits and vegetables, choose original nuts", "Share snacks to reduce the amount and increase health", and "Make an appointment to exercise to stay healthy and energetic" as a reference.

Tip 1: Choose fresh fruits and vegetables and original nuts

Many processed foods are high in calories, fat, sugar, and sodium, and many nutrients are easily lost after processing. It is recommended to replace them with fresh fruits and consume 2 to 4 servings of fruit per day (1 serving of fruit is approximately equal to 23 cherry tomatoes, 2 wax apples, 1 tangerine, 1 guava or 1 small apple). It not only contains dietary fiber to promote intestinal motility and increase satiety, but also contains rich vitamins and minerals.

The first choice for New Year snacks is various "original flavor" nuts and seeds, which are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, fiber, magnesium and other nutrients. They have antioxidant, gastrointestinal motility, and heart protection functions. They are suitable for moderate intake on weekdays, but remember that they are oils and fats. It is only necessary to consume one serving per day (about 5 cashews, 5 almonds or 10 peanuts). Don't overeat, otherwise you will become obese.

Tip 2: Share snacks to reduce intake and increase health

During the processing of snacks, a lot of sugar and seasonings are added to enhance the flavor, and deep-frying is used to increase the aroma and achieve a crispy texture. Although they are small in size and light in weight, they are high in calories, fat, sugar and sodium. During the Chinese New Year reunion, if you cannot avoid preparing or eating snacks and biscuits, you should stick to the principles of "less processing" and "choose original flavor", eat small amounts, eat slowly, share with relatives and friends, and avoid overeating.

Don’t forget to maintain the good habit of measuring your body weight every day while enjoying the holidays.

Tip 3: Make an appointment to exercise, stay healthy and energetic

Don't forget to maintain the good habit of measuring your body weight every day while enjoying the holidays, and make plans with family and friends to go out for a spring outing to increase physical activity. Also, don't forget to bring a water bottle with you when you go out, and drink more boiled water instead of sugary drinks that only provide sugar and have low nutritional value. This can quench your thirst and improve your body's normal metabolic function.
