Maslenitsa week and the holiday itself, which marks the end of winter, causes certain concerns among doctors.
After all, if you stick to folk traditions, especially in culinary terms, then during the seven days of festivities you can seriously undermine your health by overindulging in pancakes.
Zvezda reports on how to celebrate the holiday without harming your health, citing gastroenterologist and nutritionist Nuria Dianova.
How many pancakes can you eat?
