Carnival 2024: Eating well and staying hydrated will guarantee prolonged fun

party

With the arrival of this date, the consumption of high-calorie foods increases and attention is needed

This year, the carnival is expected to generate R$9 billion, representing 10% more than what was recorded last year. The estimate was released on the 29th, by the National Confederation of Commerce in Goods, Services and Tourism (CNC).

Carnival is synonymous with celebration, joy and, of course, lots of good food and drink. Whether enjoying the holiday at the sambadrome, in the street blocks, alone or inviting friends to a themed party, it’s worth being prepared when it comes to eating and drinking.

Unlike what happens on other commemorative dates, during Carnival, eating does not follow many rules. At home it can be a nice barbecue or a more gourmet preparation, but when it comes time to go out, food becomes more compromised. With the arrival of this date, the consumption of high-calorie foods increases and attention is needed.

During the days of revelry, which last until February 14th, it is very important to be extra careful with drinks and food sold on the streets – many are exposed to temperatures that are unsuitable for their conservation, causing the appearance of bacteria that cause food poisoning.

The ideal is to think about this before leaving home and have on hand what you need to eat in a practical, hygienic, nutritious and healthy way.

“We know the importance of eating well regularly, but we also know that during this period, physical exhaustion and energy expenditure are even greater. To do this, it is necessary to keep the body nourished and strong”,

says Edmar Mothé, CEO of Bio Mundo, a chain of stores specializing in natural products and sports nutrition.

The ideal is to carry a healthy snack in your bag or backpack to satisfy your hunger, in addition, snacks, dried fruit, banana and cassava chips, cereal and protein bars.

Protein bars, for example, are ideal for practical and delicious eating at any time, one of the most important healthy snack alternatives at this time of year. The positive point is that they promote satiety, as protein provides amino acids involved in the feeling of being satisfied.

These products are easily found in stores specializing in natural products and nutrition, focusing on those looking to improve their diet and increase their income.

It’s worth remembering that before anything else, eating well before leaving home will be essential and will guarantee many more hours of fun.

In addition to these incredible allies, you need to remember hydration. Water is essential and makes all the difference in staying well throughout the day.
