How to get out of fasting on Easter

Easter Sunday is a sacred day for believing Ukrainians. Many gather relatives on this day at a rich table. Everyone tries to bring their own cake and treat the guests. Especially great test "at the table" for those who observed Great Lent. Indeed, during the time of refusal from fast food, the number of enzymes that help to cope with food of animal origin have decreased. And the liver slowed down metabolic processes.

Meat - no

According to doctors, the longer the fast lasted, the longer it will take to get out of it. Because the digestive system is accustomed to light plant foods, it worked in a light mode and is definitely not ready for meat dishes. Homemade sausage or barbecue is not the best option for those who strictly observed Great Lent. Follow the tradition of starting fasting with an Easter egg. It is the lightest protein and will not harm your digestive tract.

Easter cake or cottage cheese Easter?

Those who have fasted should be careful with yeast cakes. The maximum you can afford is one piece. Not more, because yeast dough promotes fermentation in the stomach. Yes, and it is very heavy and greasy. After all, every housewife tries to make the cake "rich": she puts a lot of butter and eggs there. It is better to give preference to cottage cheese Easter - protein from fermented milk products is absorbed as well as eggs. In addition, Easter cottage cheese will make you feel full for a long time. This means there will be no temptation to overeat.

Red wine - you can

Glass of dry guilt - this is the maximum at the Easter table. Indeed, during fasting, the liver and pancreas have reduced the amount of enzymes produced, and are not ready for large amounts of alcohol. Many nutritionists recommend diluting wine with water, or drinking a double portion of water after each glass you drink. The best option is dry red wine. It helps digestion.

Tricky trick for 5 seconds

Psychologists suggest doing a little trick. Before you eat another tartlet or a slice of homemade sausage. In order to understand whether you really want it so much, 5 seconds is enough. Visualize that you are still eating food. And put the desired piece in your mouth. Now feel how you swallowed it - is it better? If so, then feel free to eat. But if there is no such feeling, skip the move.

General recommendations for an Easter feast

• Eat slowly, chewing food thoroughly
• Give preference to greens and vegetables. Let them take up half of the plate. They contain plant enzymes to help digest food and fiber. Especially lean on dill. In addition to being the record holder for fiber, it contains a substance that will reduce gas and bloating.
• Do not mix different alcohol
• Do not eat meat and fish at one time. Since their processing requires different enzymes.
• Season ready meals at the table with hot spices: they kindle the fire of digestion.
