Israeli holidays, in addition to their religious importance, are also blessed with traditional food. Passover has the matzah and gefilte fish, Rosh Hashanah has the honey and apple, Hanukkah has the donuts and Purim has the haman ears. Every holiday it is customary to discuss the amount of calories in your food and how you take it all down after it is over, but which holiday is the most unhealthy holiday in terms of its food? This is exactly what Dr. Maya Rozman answered in her program on 103FM?
“Purim is the most unhealthy holiday of all the holidays,” the nutritionist warned. “It is true that the Hanukkah donuts are fried in low-quality oil that creates harmful substances during the heating, but in my opinion Purim takes first place.”
“It’s not enough that purchased haman ears usually contain margarine, sugar, white flour and lots of calories, so the package deliveries add another too large variety of unhealthy sweets and snacks, with huge amounts of sugars, salt, unhealthy fats, and again the matter of calories. When standing. “On the counter in the kitchen are several packages of parcel deliveries, some of which will have a hard time resisting the temptation and will put all the unhealthy sweets and snacks into their bodies, in an amount that will cause weight gain and the risk of diabetes, blood pressure and heart disease.”
She went on to suggest: “I’m wondering since when packet delivery was defined as a pile of all the unhealthy stuff there is? Why not be a tray of fresh fruit cut with some nuts? And let’s focus for a moment also on the traditional triple cookie haman ear: it can be upgraded instead of bought haman ears. Petitions in white flour, white sugar, margarine, and a filling that has nothing healthy in it. You can make healthy manna ears at home. The dough we make at home can be thinner, so you can focus on a healthy filling that will give all the nutritional value. You can make the dough from flour. “Full, and cold-pressed butter or coconut oil, and don’t even put sugar in it. Even better health value will be in almond flour dough, and it’s also probably tastier.”
She added: “The preferred fillings are a sugar-free dairy, or a grinder, cocoa and sesame that you mix. It is advisable to combine with a filling of walnuts or other nuts you like, and you can also combine chopped dried fruit. In addition, you can also fill cheese with raisins and cinnamon. Not a bad health value. “
