During these end-of-year holidays, many of us know that we are likely to find ourselves at the table quite frequently. And sometimes stay there for long hours. If Christmas is synonymous with many presents and Christmas trees, it is just as synonymous with large, endless meal tables. Our hosts pull out all the stops and are often not stingy. So obviously, seafood, turkeys and frozen logs can give you a few extra pounds once the holidays are over. But is it really serious? Not so much according to the star doctor Michel Cymes. It is on the occasion of the release ofA year 2025 In great shape (ed. Solar and Dr.Good!), that the latter agreed to an exclusive interview with Purepeople. If he left The health magazine (France 5), the one who continues to provide advice through his social networks, where he is followed by nearly 300k subscribers on his personal account, on Instagram, and 370k subscribers on the account of Dr.Good! (Webedia – in its health vertical Webedia Care), revealed to us his most dietary advice for Christmas and New Year's meals. And this may surprise…
“My advice for New Year's and Christmas meals is to have fun, ditch the diet.let go of the deprivations, have fun as you wantreplies the now retired doctor. Above all, enjoy yourself. The rest we don't care.” It must be said that Dr. Michel Cymes is not a fan of the word diet, but not at all. With the exception perhaps of the healthy eating style that we also call the Mediterranean diet. “The benefits of this diet for the cardiovascular system have long been documented.he writes in his work Up to you. I remind you that it is based on a rich and daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, and that in terms of proteins, it recommends getting them from legumes, poultry, eggs, dairy products (preferably goat's milk). and sheep) and especially fish rather than red meat… If he does not prohibit the latter, he happily removes it from the contents of your plate.“
Michel Cymes highlights the benefits of the Cretan diet
In the pages of this well-written and very complete book, Michel Cymes develops the benefits of this so-called Cretan diet. “If an additional argument were needed to convince you to adopt it, I would gladly refer you to the study carried out by Australian researchers who worked on a cohort of some 300 people over 60 years old whom they questioned about their level of stress and anxiety. From the answers provided, evidence emerged: people who adopt this diet notice a reduction in their symptoms of stress and anxiety, regardless of their age, gender, height, weight and quality of sleep.“, he explains.
