Eid Al-Adha: Health Experts Urge Safe Practices and Dietary Caution Amid Pandemic

The Feast of Sacrifice is a moment of sharing and conviviality. In addition to respecting barrier gestures, nutritionist Nabil Ayachi emphasizes "that it is essential within the same family to keep individual utensils". Each person should have their own glass, plate and cutlery in order to "preserve health and safety and avoid the risk of infection". He emphasizes the regular washing of hands during the ritual of sacrifice.

For his part, the ministry has taken a series of measures, including the obligation for professional butchers and seasonal persons carrying out the ritual of sacrifice to have a signed authorization. They will also be subject to screening tests and provided with tools and products likely to ensure compliance with the preventive measures in force, reports H24infos.

The nutritionist calls for discipline in the consumption of certain meals to accompany the efforts that will be made in compliance with the preventive measures. "We must limit the consumption of offal and remove fat for a certain category of patients. Each sick person must consult their doctor or nutritionist before the Eid Al-Adha period to have a balanced and personalized program," insists the specialist.

To protect against digestive disorders, Nabil Ayachi recommends accompanying the consumption of meat with good habits. "I also advise to consume fruits before and not to forget a good raw vegetable salad before the meal". As for the storage of meat, in these times of high heat, he suggests "putting it in a cool place before cutting it and storing it in the freezer to avoid any contamination," reports the same source.
