New Year is just around the corner. Many are already preparing to celebrate it properly, with all their hearts.
In most cases, this means lavish meals accompanied by large quantities of alcoholic beverages.
We know that overeating is bad. However, it is very difficult to restrain ourselves once a year. We eat and eat, and then we suffer.
Doctors have told us how to avoid trouble with this New Year's problem.
Consequences
What follows overeating? Stretching of the stomach, accompanied by bloating, nausea, discomfort.
Additional stress is placed on the pancreas and liver, and blood sugar levels increase sharply.
And this is not to mention the excess glucose, which is transformed into fat with all the consequences for your weight.
Well, excess weight is fraught with further problems with the heart and metabolism.
In addition, overeating disrupts sleep, negatively affects overall well-being, and has a negative impact on intestinal microflora.
Experts say that a single case of overeating will not lead to all these sad consequences, but only if you do not have chronic gastrointestinal problems.
Recommendations
Experts recommend: always, even on New Year's, remember about moderation and try to choose healthy dishes, without mixing everything in one plate.
They also advise that before sitting down at the festive table, you should move a little, for example, take a walk in the fresh air.
It is not recommended to start a festive dinner with a large amount of high-calorie foods.
The best option is to start eating with light snacks, gradually moving on to more filling dishes.
Another useful tip: throughout the entire feast, you need to drink enough water to improve digestion and prevent dehydration.
After a heavy meal, don't go straight to bed - take a little walk.
In general, during the New Year holidays, it is advisable to eat more vegetables and fruits.
