Stay Healthy This Chinese New Year!
Chinese New Year is a celebration of togetherness, delicious food, and cherished traditions. It’s a time to connect with loved ones, reflect on the past year, and look forward to what lies ahead.
At Bali International Hospital (BIH), we understand the importance of enjoying this special time without compromising your health. With global expertise and local care, we’re here to help you celebrate with balance and mindfulness
Traditional Chinese New Year dishes are rich in flavor and meaning, symbolizing health, happiness, and prosperity. However, they can also be high in calories, sugar, or fat.
Here’s how to enjoy them while staying mindful of your health:
Use smaller plates to help manage portion sizes and savor a variety of dishes without overindulging. Enjoy festive favorites like dumplings, spring rolls, and fish in moderation to maintain balance.
Choose steamed, grilled, or baked dishes instead of fried options. Add vegetables like bok choy, broccoli, and mushrooms to your meals for a nutrient boost.
While pineapple tarts and sesame balls are holiday staples, enjoy them in moderation. Opt for fresh fruits like oranges and tangerines, which are both symbolic of prosperity and a natural, healthy dessert.
Replace sugary drinks with water, green tea, or unsweetened herbal teas. Staying hydrated helps maintain energy levels and aids digestion during celebrations.
Don’t forget to take your medications regularly, even amidst the celebrations, to keep your health in check
Chinese New Year often means hours spent catching up with loved ones over meals. To stay active and energized:
Begin your morning with a brisk walk, yoga, or stretching to set a positive tone for the day.
Engage the whole family with activities like a group walk after meals or traditional games that keep everyone moving.
Celebrating with family is wonderful, but it can also come with challenges like managing schedules, preparing meals, and hosting guests. Here are ways to reduce stress and stay present:
Organize your shopping, cooking, and gatherings in advance to avoid last-minute rushes.
Step away from the crowd if you feel overwhelmed and take a moment to breathe or enjoy some quiet time.
