Hi steemlovers
How was your summer?
I am writing to you from Nice airport, my holidays are over and in this article I’m sharing with you the great deals in Nice with, of course, a medical anecdote.
I went 2 weeks and added another 4kg ... oops, but the specialties of Nice are so excellent that we cannot help it but eat. At the morning market of the old town you will find pissaladières (pizza with onions and anchovies) or farcis (vegetables stuffed with meat) or socca (thick crepe with chickpea flour).
This is not all: the zucchini flowers in donuts are also excellent!
If after all this you are still a little hungry you can let yourself be tempted by a small ice cream at the 2nd best glacier in France "Feneccio" or "Azzuro" who makes homemade cones.
In short you understand that in Nice we eat a lot and very well!
From a health point of view, you have to leave your diet aside to enjoy it.
If some of you are interested in dietetics I share here a way to calculate the amount of calories in your meal.
Just weigh your ingredients to find out how many grams of protein, carbohydrate and fat are your meal.
To do the math:
Gram of protein * 17 KJ
Grams of fat * 37 KJ
Grams of carbohydrates * 17 KJ
(* = multiplication)
You would then choose a value in kilojoules (KJ) to convert it to Calories.
1 calorie = 4.184 kilojoules.
Fortunately there are many activities to burn calories!
You will not get tired of strolling in the Court Saleya and in the old Nice without forgetting of course the ‘Promenade des Anglais’!
If you like walking I would recommend the hike to the fort of Mount Alban, next to Mount Boron. You will have a breathtaking view of Nice and its surroundings.
The place where you will have to pass if you come to Nice is Place Masséna (see photo).
I have not even spoken to you about the beach yet! This beach full of pebbles (I admit it is not very comfortable to lie down or walk on) but the water is of excellent temperature and a turquoise color at most times!
Your parents have probably already told you not to bathe directly after eating but do you know why?
One of the reasons is that when you eat, your body's blood is concentrated at the level of your stomach and your intestines for the assimilation of nutrients.
If a lot of your blood is in your belly, there is less blood coming to the brain. So you will not know how to properly coordinate all your limbs and muscles in case of drowning.
I advise you to wait a little after having a good meal.
By cons once in the water do not hesitate to take a mask and snorkel to admire the wonders of nature. I saw many beautiful fish, sea urchins, starfish, octopus, and sometimes even jellyfish.
It was not the first time I went to Nice since my boyfriend is from there.
If you do not know where to go for your next vacation I advise you to go to Nice. It's still hot in September (sometimes up to 30 degrees) and people are really nice.
Happy comeback to all students and courage to all those who came back from vacation!
Kiss
