Take a balanced approach to nutrition

The important thing is to take a balanced approach: indulge in traditional dishes without overdoing it and try to balance rich meals with lighter, more nutritious options. Drinking plenty of water and limiting alcohol consumption can make a big difference.

Practical tips for nutrition

• Start your day with a balanced breakfast: Opt for protein, fiber and healthy fats such as eggs with vegetables, Greek yogurt with fresh fruit and nuts.
• Choose moderate portions: Don’t deprive yourself of traditional foods, but taste everything in balanced quantities.
