The holidays are just around the corner, which means that some people have already started losing weight for the New Year.

At the same time, there are people for whom this becomes a December habit. But it is better not to do this.

The desire to lose weight by the New Year is fraught with serious health problems.

The liver and gastrointestinal tract suffer especially. This statement was made by Ekaterina Ladygina, writes " Lenta.ru ".

As a result, a person is more vulnerable to viruses and bacteria.

There may be other serious disruptions in the body that will only bring additional problems with well-being.

The doctor noted in a conversation with journalists that extremely rapid weight loss is associated with an unbalanced diet, and a deficiency of useful elements negatively affects the condition of hair, skin and nails.

Hormonal imbalances, sagging skin and the appearance of wrinkles are possible.

These are far from all the negative consequences. Ladygina added that the risk of depression and food addiction increases.

In conclusion, the specialist noted that it is therefore important to observe moderation in everything. The diet should be balanced and correct. If you want to lose weight, you should do it gradually, without stress.
