SUGGESTED MENU FOR THE HOLIDAY OF SEPTEMBER 2: DELICIOUS FOOD BUT STILL GOOD FOR THE HEART

The 2/9 holiday is an occasion for family and friends to gather and enjoy many delicious dishes. However, for those who care about cardiovascular health, choosing a reasonable menu is extremely important. Eating scientifically not only helps the party more complete but also protects the heart from the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol or stroke.

Limit fried and greasy foods and replace them with steaming, boiling, and baking.

Reduce salt, sugar and processed foods.

Increase green vegetables and fresh fruits to supplement vitamins, fiber and antioxidants.

Prioritize fatty fish rich in Omega-3, lean white meat such as skinless chicken and duck.

2. Menu suggestions for the 2/9 holiday

Appetizer : Vegetable salad mixed with olive oil or lightly spiced shrimp and pork spring rolls, both refreshing and high in fiber.

Main course :

• Grilled salmon or mackerel with passion fruit sauce – rich in Omega-3 which helps reduce bad cholesterol.
• Pan-fried chicken breast with mashed sweet potatoes – low fat, high in protein and good carbs.

Side dish : Sweet and light vegetable stew or pumpkin soup, easy to eat and good for the digestive system.

Dessert : Seasonal fresh fruits like watermelon, grapes, apples instead of sugary pastries.

3. Advice from experts

A holiday party does not need to be too elaborate to be meaningful. The most important thing is to choose smart food, prepare it healthily to both “eat well” and “live well”. Remember that a healthy heart is the most precious gift for yourself and your family on every reunion occasion.
