This proposal helps to remove the fame of the holiday as a “bad” diet
April 9 is Easter day. This date is on the Christian calendar in memory of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Christians understood the egg as a symbol of this resurrection, which later this tradition of sweet eggs began in France and has dominated the celebration since the 19th century. Do you want to spend a healthy Easter? Learn to party without excess chocolates.
First of all, should we stop eating chocolate at Easter?
“You don’t have to stop eating chocolate! Pay attention to the amount you’re consuming. Instead of eating a chocolate egg in one day, crack it and eat a small piece for several days. Balance is key,” reiterated the nutritionist Jessica Rodríguez.
Your healthy Easter menu
choose bitter
The taste is very different from refined chocolate, but it is good for our health. It’s not a cliché, especially since this nutritionist mentioned the richness found in dark chocolate.
“Dark chocolate contains less sugar and fat than milk chocolate, as well as being rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, which may have health benefits, such as reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease,” Jessica explained.
buy as a child
“Buying from small business owners can be a great option for consuming a healthier product. Many pastry chefs make gluten-free, lactose-free and sugar-free products with lots of flavor!” she guided.
No sodas and canned juices
They are drinks that must be removed from the daily life of those who think of aesthetic benefits. Not to mention the high amount of sugar found in industrialized sodas and juices. The rule is simple, that is, choose natural.
“It is normal for people to consume more soft drinks and processed juices. These drinks are high in sugar and can contribute to weight gain. Therefore, opt for zero drinks to accompany your meals. This way, you save the calories of this drink,” concluded the nutritionist.
Data
The survey by the CNC (National Confederation of Commerce of Goods, Services and Tourism) indicated that Easter products are expensive in 2023, a figure which denotes the 13.9% increase in the price of chocolate.
The survey by HelloSafe Brasil, a product comparison platform, revealed that 80% of Brazilians will not buy an Easter egg in 2023. HelloSafe Brasil contacted 2,248 citizens from March 1 to 17.
