New Year is a time of miracles, fulfillment of desires, meetings with loved ones and friends, joint gatherings at the festive table, for which a huge number of delicious and original dishes were prepared. The holidays are coming to an end, and a stranger is looking at you from the mirror, having put on a few pounds and looking tired from sleepless nights and not always a healthy pastime. How to survive the New Year holidays without harm to your health?
How not to get better on holidays
In the New Year, it is customary to gather in a large and friendly company at the festive table, which is literally bursting with delicacies. Moreover, champagne flows like a river. It's too difficult to give up temptations, but you can still follow some rules that will help you not get better on the holidays.
There are always a variety of sausage cuts on the table, they are tasty and appetizing, the hand still reaches for the dish, but the disadvantage of sausages is that they contain too much salt, flavorings, preservatives and other components, including sugar, which lead to excess weight. Try to give up salami, cervelats, balyk in favor of oven-baked meat - almost all housewives serve it on the table.
If on New Year's holidays you cannot refuse to drink alcoholic beverages, accompany them with correct and traditional snacks - jellied meat, bacon, pâté. Fatty foods reduce the negative effects of alcohol, prevent it from entering the bloodstream too quickly. And in general, be moderate, do not tip over glass after glass - enjoy the drink as if you were a taster.
Olivier salad is a calorie bomb, but it is difficult to refuse it. Its presence on the festive table is a tradition that has been forming for more than one decade. Just try to be moderate, you do not need to eat a bowl of salad, limit yourself to a small portion, because most of the products in it are healthy - boiled vegetables, eggs and green peas will not harm the body.
Eat fruits and vegetables, fish and seafood, dishes cooked in the oven, instead of juices drink fruit drinks and water, dance, have fun, participate in contests, then extra pounds will not be scary to you, and alcohol will not lead to a painful hangover darkening the long-awaited vacation.
How to get rid of a hangover after the New Year
You tried not to drink a lot, had a good snack, but in the morning your head still breaks, and the festive mood has evaporated? Proven methods of struggle will come to the rescue - pills, pickles, drinking plenty of water and other folk tricks.
It is believed that vitamin C helps to get rid of a hangover after the New Year. But this fact has not been scientifically proven. If you use the advice of doctors who have to take people out of binge, first of all, it is necessary to replenish fluid reserves in the body. For this, ordinary water, unsweetened fruit drinks, compotes are suitable. It is better to refuse packaged juices, they contain too much sugar. The second step is to replenish reserves of B vitamins, they are found in meat, milk, eggs, fish, legumes, seafood, nuts, seeds, bananas. Finding these foods in a fridge filled to capacity is easy. The brine from pickles also partially helps, but only it should not contain vinegar.
Another effective measure is walking and outdoor activities.
To get rid of a hangover after the New Year, many go to the bathhouse, sauna, someone is rubbed with snow after that or even dives into an ice hole, but this is not the best option, because the body already suffers from poisoning, and additional stress in the form of a sharp change in temperature will bring more harm than good.
Care should be taken with hangover headache pills. It is strongly not recommended to take paracetamol, since it has a destructive effect on liver cells, and this organ is already working to its limit, trying to remove the decay products of alcohol.
In general, there are many ways to survive the New Year holidays without harm to your health. The most important thing is moderation in everything (food, alcohol, entertainment). Enjoy the process so that the holidays will be remembered as a good mood, positive emotions, and not a headache, poor health and extra pounds.
Happy New Year!
