SINGAPORE: If you are going to indulge in popular Chinese New Year goodies this festive season, for the sake of your health you might want to reach for the cake bangkit instead of salted egg fish skin.Salted egg fish skin ranked the highest in calories and cake bangkit the lowest, in a comprehensive scientific study on festive goodies.
“Knowledge is power, and with power, we can change our lives,” he said in a phone interview with CNA.Work is underway to analyse snacks popular during other festive seasons, but Prof Henry stressed that the purpose of the study he did with researchers Bi Xinyan and Michelle Yeo is not to stop people from indulging over the festive period, but to provide them information that could help them make better choices.
Quoting a study published in American Journal of Physiology--Endocrinology and Metabolism, Ms Wong said that overall weight, fat mass, fasting levels of blood sugar and production of insulin did not change in response to the short-term overeating. “If you have existing medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart disease and others, overeating is strongly not recommended as it will greatly impact on your blood sugar and blood pressure,” she said.
She added that other than snacks, people need to limit caloric-dense beverages such as soft drinks, alcohol and sweetened drinks. She urged them to opt for sugar-free beverages or if there are alcoholic beverages, diluting them with soda or sparkling water. “Chewing food slowly also helps reduce the pace of eating and increases satiety. Satiety signals can take up to 20 minutes to reach the brain and control appetite. Skip seconds and end your meal with something sweet,” she said.“For example if you are planning for big dinner, have a healthier lunch,” she said, giving the example of a small portion of brown rice or multigrain bread with grilled chicken or pan-fried tofu with a serving of vegetables.
