[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] With the arrival of the Lunar New Year, nougat has always been the best gift choice when visiting relatives and friends, symbolizing peace, sweetness and eternity.

In this regard, nutritionist Man Man said that although nougat is delicious, a small piece is about 50 calories. If a bowl of 8-point rice is about 280 calories, eating 6 pieces is equivalent to eating an extra bowl of rice. If the ingredient is changed to trehalose, although trehalose tastes less sweet, you still need to be careful, as eating too much will make you fat.

Manman pointed out in a Facebook fan page "Nutrition Manman Shuo-Manman Nutritionist" that the name nougat was translated from English Nougat. According to information on the Internet, nougat originated in a small town in Italy, symbolizing Peaceful, sweet and eternal.

Common raw materials include maltose, almonds, peanuts, macadamia beans, sugar, salt, cream, and milk powder.

Although nougat is delicious, be careful of the high heat.

Manman said that the ordinary small ones about 5 cm long have about 40 to 50 calories per 10 grams, and a bowl of rice that is 8 minutes full is about 280 calories. Eating 6 is equivalent to eating an extra bowl of rice .

If the ingredients are changed to trehalose, trehalose has the same calories as ordinary sugar, 1g = 4 calories. Although trehalose tastes less sweet, you still need to be careful, eating too much will make you fat.

In addition, the National Health Administration shared three steps to eat smart snacks during the New Year's Eve, teaching you how to choose wisely, and celebrate the New Year without any burden:

1. Look at

the calorie labels: Most snacks have calorie labels, which is the most direct way for people to judge calories. Choose snacks with relatively low calories.

2. Smart substitutions:

Choose alternatives, such as baked seaweed instead of fried seaweed, konjac jelly instead of sweets, dried vegetables and fruits instead of potato chips, fresh fruits instead of dried fruits, and nuts. Plain replaces honeydew or other processed flavors.

Many processed foods such as dried fruit, candied fruit, and potato chips of various flavors contain high salt content. Fresh ingredients should be used instead of processed foods, which can not only reduce calories but also reduce salt intake.

In addition, more salt and soy sauce are added to the watermelon seeds that people often eat, which has high salt content. People can choose sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds with lower salt content.

Or directly use seasonal and seasonal fruits as snacks between meals, which is the smart choice for healthy snacks.

3. Buy in moderation and enjoy in moderation:

Don’t buy too many servings at one time, and don’t put all the candy and snack boxes on the table at once.

A whole package of snacks can be enjoyed by multiple people to avoid eating too much at one time.

For children, distribute a fixed amount, and don't let children get it at will.

Manman reminds that snacks are diversified during the Chinese New Year. If you eat hard candies, you should pay more attention to the condition of your teeth. After all, it is difficult to find a dentist during the New Year’s Festival.
