Solomon General Internal Medicine Clinic in Dallas. \u201cIf you have a health condition or dietary restrictions and you\u2019re not sure if there\u2019s going to be something good you can eat, you might think about bringing a healthy dish, like a veggie tray or a salad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re hosting a Super Bowl party, recognize that some guests will have health concerns such as diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Try to offer fruits, vegetables, whole grains and salsas so your guests aren&#8217;t forced to eat high-salt or high-sugar foods, she suggested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s best to eat foods at these parties where you\u2019re combining sources of protein and healthy fats,\u201d Agusala advised. \u201cHealthier protein options would be foods like bean dip, chicken and fish.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You could also have complex carbohydrates like vegetables and whole grains,&#8221; she added. &#8220;These are broken down more slowly, so they won\u2019t cause blood sugar spikes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agusala listed what foods to look for and what foods you should avoid while watching the big game:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Touchdowns<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Crunchy vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus, cucumber)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Salads with low-calorie dressings<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Dips with fewer calories, made with legumes\/beans such as black beans, hummus<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Guacamole<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Salsa (just go easy on the chips)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Popcorn (without salt or butter or in low amounts)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Grilled chicken, fish, veggie burgers<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Sparkling water; flavored, low-calorie drinks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Punts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Agusala said it can be difficult to avoid mindless eating while caught up in the game, but she stressed mindfulness as a key component of healthy eating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe aware of your hunger signals,\u201d she said. \u201cIt takes about 20 minutes or so for your stomach to realize it\u2019s full and tell your brain it\u2019s time to stop eating. So if you\u2019re eating more slowly, that can help. But you have to listen to those signals, and if you\u2019re distracted by a game, that may be hard to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Agusala recommended one tactic that seems simple enough: \u201cDon\u2019t sit next to where all the food\u2019s laid out, because then you\u2019re going to be more likely to reach for more. Having a little distance may be helpful.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"ddc-reference-list\">\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li> UT Southwestern Medical Center, news release, Feb. 2, 2024<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"ddc-disclaimer\"><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> Statistical data in medical articles provide general trends and do not pertain to individuals.
