Gastroenterologist and nutritionist Nuria Dianova listed snacks that can be harmful to health when combined with alcoholic beverages. FAN writes about this.
Dianova noted that, as a rule, all snacks should not be bland, but salty or spicy to give the dish a rich and pronounced taste. For this, preservatives are used, in particular salt. It is rich in snacks such as pickled cucumbers and mushrooms, spicy kimchi cabbage or Korean carrots. However, the nutritionist pointed out, when combined with alcohol, they can negatively affect the pancreas. Eating these snacks stimulates the gland, but alcohol disrupts enzyme release.
The doctor warned that an abundance of food and alcohol can lead to pancreatitis. “Stimulated enzymes cannot be released, they begin to digest their own gland inside the pancreas. From this, pain syndrome develops,” Dianova explained. It can cause nausea, vomiting, fever, she added.
According to a specialist, pancreatitis may appear in fans of frequent meals. Therefore, you should eat in moderation. “Appetizers should not have a pronounced taste, it is better to give preference to such dishes as boiled tongue, chicken rolls and all baked dishes,” added the nutritionist.
At the New Year’s table, it is better to give preference to jellied meat rather than pickled appetizers, and it is better to refuse spicy snacks altogether, Dianova concluded.
Earlier, the chef Alexander Belkovich revealed several secrets of the New Year’s feast. He noted that the methods of preparing favorite dishes for the holiday can be changed. For example, you can replace canned peas with frozen peas, and instead of store-bought mayonnaise, use either homemade or a mixture of yogurt, tangerine juice and olive oil.
