During Passover, Auerbach recommends adhering to a series of nutritional guidelines that promote healthy eating habits. These include avoiding overindulgence and drinking at least seven to eight glasses of water or dietary fluids per day. It is important to reduce the consumption of matzahs and treat them as a necessary addition to the meal.
When it comes to wine, rosé is recommended over sweet red wine, and individuals should aim for low-fat fish such as mackerel, salmon, sole, and tuna instead of high-fat fish like tilapia, Nile princess, and trout. Choosing a carp weighing up to 300 grams is also advised for those looking for a lower fat option. In meat meals, fried foods should be avoided in favor of low-fat options such as mackerel, salmon, sole, and tuna. Soup should contain only cooked vegetables without any added carbohydrates.
It’s important to limit indulgent meals during the holiday and partake in them only when necessary. Taking advantage of suitable days for outdoor family activities or sports is also encouraged. Overall, these guidelines emphasize moderation, hydration, and making smart food choices in order to enjoy the holiday without compromising health and well-being.
