“In fact, all meals with a lot of mayonnaise are not good for the body.

Therefore, the Olivier that we are used to and the amount that we eat is really quite heavy, difficult and harmful, ”said the gastroenterologist.

According to her, the rest of the salads, which are often present on the New Year's table, also contain a large amount of mayonnaise, cheese, and nuts.

“These are also difficult foods to digest.

If you cook a chicken baked in the oven with dried fruits or fruits, it will be a healthier thing than if you just fry it in oil, ”Berezhnaya said.

The specialist also noted that it is preferable to prepare light herbal salads with minimal dressings, as well as serve low-fat sweets and fruits to the table.

“So a light late dinner like this would be preferable.

It is much better if you make these salads with mayonnaise and duck, chicken or turkey baked in the oven not on New Year's Eve, but on January 1.

It will be more useful and more secure.

In fact, when you eat the minimum amount - two slices or one sandwich - it is tolerable, but you just need to understand that we start eating after 12 at night and do not move at all, ”she explained.

The doctor added that the lighter the snacks on the New Year's table are, the easier it will be during the New Year's holidays, since, as Berezhnaya emphasized, excessive overeating "never leads to anything good."

Earlier, Olga Grigoryan, a leading researcher at the Federal Research Center for Nutrition and Biotechnology, Candidate of Medical Sciences, a nutritionist, told RT who should limit the consumption of tangerines on holidays, and who should refuse them altogether.
