On this meaty eid, I thought I'd be posting some brief EID-UL-ADHA DIETARY GUIDELINES just to keep you aware of eating habits for upcoming days
✅ You can eat whatever is cooked but watch portion size. One can have 3-5 ounces of meat/day (3 oz ≈ 85g of meat). Measure the right amount with your palm
🚫 Limit amount of oil while cooking. Boil meat first to avoid excess use of oil. Try to stir fry (less oil)
🚫Avoid carbonated or frizzy drinks. People overeat and then they consume cola drinks thinking it can aid in digestion. It's only going to harm you and won't do any good for your health
✅ Keep yourself hydrated (2-3 litres water/day)
✅ Fill your half plate with salads. Try adding vegestables with meat while cooking as well
✅ Keep a dairy portion in your meal e.g., Yogurt or Mint Rayta. Mint can aid in digestion
✅ Be physical active. Try to walk daily
🔹And most importantly, instead of filling out your refrigerators with meat, give it to the deserving ones.
The essence of this eid is beyond sacrificing an animal and feasting. Please be more compassionate, caring and generous towards people ❤
