JAKARTA - In recent years, Eid celebrations in Indonesia have been slightly different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The big difference that is felt is the difficulty of gathering with family in the hometown because of the ban on homecoming.

However, one thing that never changes is the enthusiasm to eat all kinds of menus served during Lebaran. Because after a month-long fast, you usually need self-rewards through food that can be eaten when Eid arrives.

Apparently, the habit of eating a lot during Eid can actually bring a variety of diseases, ranging from a rise in stomach acid to high cholesterol. Sure you don't want this to happen right? Well, in order to avoid this, here VOI give some tips to maintain a diet during Eid to avoid disease.

Do not consume pastries on an empty stomach

Most pastries use margarine/butter containing trans fats. This is one of the bad fats that can affect the increase in stomach acid and its long-term levels of bad cholesterol.

Reduce sugary drinks

Drinks with added artificial sugars tend to increase blood sugar levels. This can make the body limp faster because blood sugar levels are unstable. You should avoid consuming too many sugary drinks during Lebaran. Replace with water before eating. Water is very good as a 'vehicle' to remove waste and toxins from the body. In addition, water also serves to carry nutrients in the circulatory system. Make sure you consume 1.5-2 liters of water a day.

Avoid fatty foods

For example goulash, fried foods, offal and others. Although the taste must be amazingly good, these foods can increase weight. In addition, short-term fatty foods can cause a risk of stomach disease. In some cases it also affects a very rapid increase in blood pressure.

Multiply vegetables and fruits

You can also make the most of it with a multivitamin. In addition to being rich in vitamins and minerals, vegetables and fruits also have high fiber levels so it will have a good impact on the immune system.
