During the Eid celebrations, what we all need to specially take into account is our health. Here few tip to maintain health on Eid.
Red meat, beef and lamb, contains high cholesterol. Do not indulge in excessive intake of these kinds of meat as they will harm your health in the long-term, and your heart can get adversely affected.
Try to distribute as much meat on this Eid as possible. Keep a proportion for yourself and eat healthy which means taking proportional amounts of meat along with vegetables. If you are conscious of your health, then you can even count the number of calories that your are acquiring. 2000 calories in a day are more than sufficient. This can then be divided into four various meals.
Even the leanest cuts of beef can become high-fat diet-busters if you prepare them in unhealthy ways. Here are a few simple ways to control the fat. Cut off any visible, solid fat from meat before preparing, and then remove any remaining visible fat before eating. After cooking ground meat, put it into a strainer or colander and drain the fat. Then rinse the meat with hot water. Blot the meat with a paper towel to remove the water. After cooking, chill beef juices so that you can skim off and discard the hardened fat. Then add the juice to stews, soups and gravy.
Avoid the fatty part of meat to maintain your health. The tip is to refrain from having brain, fat and stomach of a goat.
If planning to eat meat on this Eid, the healthy tip is to take it in the boiled, charcoaled form and avoid taking it in oily/fried form as these increases the calories intake in a day. For example, kebabs are an excellent choice of food on Eid.
Include plenty of salads when having large meals of meat on Eid. Take small quantity instead of piling plates with unhealthy food. Limit the quantity of desserts too. Too much sweet does not let you remain healthy.
If you know pre-hand that you’ll be invited to places on Eid and thus cannot avoid meat, then allow yourself a better diet plan. Asking for a cup of lemon juice or green tea can help increasing the metabolism rate. Tea can also be taken but without sugar.
