“On vacation we consume about 5,000 calories in food”

Álvaro Fernández started with ideas to avoid ending up with an upset stomach. A tip he gave is “to bring on the plate what we are going to snack on, the starters, maybe shrimp, salad, and to eat calmly, slowly, this way we also avoid worrying because the brother-in-law eats everything so quickly.” He added that by going slowly, it’s easier for the feeling of fullness to reach the brain and not keep gorging on the menu.

Another tip is to make stops and always keep in mind that you go from the starter to the pinero and the second, so it is a long distance race. “Chew well and leave room for what comes next. Sometimes we start eating without taking into account that they haven’t even brought us the main course, so mentally plan what you would like to taste and take it step by step”, clarified this collaborator of ‘And now thread soles‘ (Antena 3) under the watchful eye of Carmen Lomana, Angela Vallvey and Pilar Vidalamong others, the collaborators of this afternoon on television.

Then comes the turn of dessert. For those who wish to taste sweets, it is best to leave room and reserve, without rushing at the start of the meal. Don’t fall into the gluttony of starters either, with olives, starter snacks or jelly beans. “And in the end, when you do the math, on vacation you can find yourself eating between 5,000 and 6,000 calories, more than double the recommended amount for a normal day,” estimates this professional.

Finally, for those who trust in stomach protectorsBe careful because they are not recommended in these cases. “What they do is control stomach acids and do good digestion, which will be important, so in times like these it is better to leave these protectors because otherwise we will hinder digestion“, he finally said.
