Visits during the January holidays can be diluted with a trip to the skating rink or a walk in the forest – this will increase the level of activity and help you return to full training after returning to work, advised Kamilya Tabeeva, an endocrinologist, specialist in preventive and anti-age medicine, in a conversation with RT European Medical Center (EMC).
“Don’t forget to drink water before meals: this will help prepare the gastrointestinal tract for eating,” the expert explained.
She added that many people want the table to be literally bursting with unusual dishes, but from a medical point of view, there is no point in betting on exotic products and their combinations.
“It will be difficult for the body to cope with new and unusual tastes, and some of them may cause illness,” said the specialist.
According to her, to make it easier to return to your usual diet after the New Year holidays, you should not eat for days on end.
In addition, she recalled that during the holidays it is important to drink alcohol in moderation and be sure to put water in front of you to replenish the balance.
“In addition, you should not mix alcoholic drinks with sweet drinks, especially sodas. Don’t turn the January holidays into a “finish everything” mode: make salads from fresh vegetables for each meal,” Tabeeva said.
Naturally, it’s hard to imagine the New Year holidays without sweets, the specialist said.
“To compensate for these foods, it is important to monitor your level of physical activity. Processing large amounts of sweet and high-calorie foods improves sports and any physical activity. You can use lemon, for example, add it to water, to make it easier for the gastrointestinal tract to cope with the volume and variety of food that enters our stomach during the holidays,” the doctor concluded.
Previously, bariatric surgeon and doctor of medical sciences Vladimir Samoilov emphasized in a conversation with RT that adipose tissue secretes substances such as cytokines and adipocins, which can cause systemic inflammation, which contributes to the development of rheumatoid arthritis and similar diseases.
