A Ural doctor explained who might be at risk from okroshka.
The chief physician of the Chelyabinsk Regional Center for Public Health and Medical Prevention, Olga Ageeva, warned Ural residents that they should not overindulge in okroshka. This can lead to a deterioration in health.
The first risk factor in okroshka is kvass, which can cause fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, the drink contains a lot of sugar.
— Kvass can be very sweet, which threatens a sharp insulin spike in the blood. This is harmful not only for people with diabetes but for everyone else as well. In the eternal debate about whether to dress okroshka with kvass or kefir, the latter is better for health. Good alternatives are tan and ayran, the publication EAN quotes the expert.
There are already recipes for okroshka for people who should not eat potatoes (for example, diabetics).
— Some people substitute avocado for potatoes, which is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, avocado is more calorie-dense than potatoes, which also needs to be taken into account, the doctor added.
Earlier, we shared a recipe for healthy okroshka.
