In the Eid al-Adha breakfast, which is better, ground meat or head of the bird?

Minced meat and ras al-asfour meat have the same nutritional value, they differ only in the way they are cut.

For the elderly, they may have difficulties in chewing, so ground meat may suit them more.

Minced meat is also digested and absorbed more quickly than meat that is in the form of slices or pieces.

However, in the end, the stomach is able to digest and benefit from ground and chopped meat.

So ground meat may be better for those with chewing difficulties.

According to previous statements by the nutrition specialist at Hamad Medical Corporation in Qatar, Dr. Zuhair Al-Arabi, to Al Jazeera Clinic, the amount of meat that is allowed to be eaten by the average person ranges between 200 and 300 grams per day. Therefore, in the breakfast of the first days of Eid Al-Adha, it is recommended that what a person eats should not exceed 150 grams of meat, And he takes into account that he may eat meat at another meal during the same day.

He said that among the types of meat: veal, lamb and camel, and the latter is the best because the percentage of fat in it is the lowest, compared to veal and lamb.

He said that on Eid al-Adha, there are some practices that lead to problems, such as eating a lot of meat, drinking excessive coffee, and eating fast food.

These practices lead to upset stomach, diarrhea, vomiting and food poisoning.

Boil meat or Shih

He added that the best way to prepare meat - on Eid al-Adha and others - is boiling or grilling.

It is recommended that the meat not be grilled directly on the flame, and that it be placed on the grill after the embers are extinguished, and that a distance of 10 to 12 centimeters is left between the meat and the coals so as not to burn, and that it be grilled over a low heat.

Also, Dr. Al-Arabi stated that it is not recommended to get used to eating lamb meat because it is pure fat and saturated fat, and if a person wants to eat it, it is advised not to exceed a very small amount.


He also warned against eating any raw meat products, whether liver or other.

Coffee on Eid al-Adha

Coffee is among the world's most popular beverages, and it is an ingredient of Eid al-Adha hospitality.

While drinking it may increase activity or focus, consuming it sometimes becomes an obstacle to getting a good night's sleep.

For this reason, caffeine consumption should be adapted to the natural rhythm of your body, according to a report in Haberturk.

When do you drink coffee?

Since the body's circadian clock and response to caffeine varies from person to person, it is difficult to determine the best time to drink coffee.

This is related to the hours of sleep. For example, if you wake up at 6:30 in the morning, then it is recommended that you drink your morning coffee between eight and nine, and your afternoon coffee between 12 and 13, and your evening coffee between 17.30 and 18.30.

It is recommended that each period be separated by 3 hours, taking into account the amount of coffee consumed.

Therefore, on Eid, we recommend that you delay the time for drinking coffee, until eight or nine in the morning.

Coffee, anxiety and sleep problems

Despite the benefits of caffeine in improving activity, it is also known to negatively affect sleep quality and anxiety level.

The effect of caffeine lasts on average from 3 to 5 hours, while about half of the amount of caffeine consumed in the body remains for more than 5 hours.

Drinking coffee shortly before bedtime can cause sleep disturbances.

To avoid these negative effects of caffeine, it is recommended to avoid drinking coffee at least 6 hours before bed.

And if you suffer from anxiety, it is wise to limit your coffee consumption.
