The holidays were long, lazy and satisfying. After such a vacation, it is very difficult to get in shape and enter the usual routine. What to do?
There may be several problems: someone has gained extra pounds, someone falls asleep on the go, and someone cannot concentrate on work duties.
Have gained two or three extra pounds - do not worry and severely limit your diet. The consequences may not please: anemia, poor condition of nails and hair, weakened immunity. Severe dietary restrictions are only permissible for a few days. Better if it is one fasting day.
Eat small meals of low-fat foods such as chicken, fish, rice, and lots of fruits, vegetables, and greens. Fruits and vegetables can make up about half of the diet, because they are able to normalize the stomach, enrich the body with trace elements and vitamins. You can alternate the colors of the products. Today - yellow peppers and apples, and tomorrow red varieties. The fact that they contain different amounts of trace elements. Fats must also be present. A little olive oil or a handful of nuts will provide the body with B and E vitamins, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.
Cut back on sweets and starchy foods. You don't have to give up bread at all, just replace it with whole grain bread. It is high in fiber and protein. Sausages and sausages contain a lot of salt, which contributes to edema and, accordingly, weight gain, so you should refuse such products.
After so many lazy days, it's worth remembering sports. In the first days, you do not need to arrange intense training, increase the load gradually. Even if it will be morning exercises or a walk. Fresh air is good for the emotional state. The hormone of happiness rises, metabolic processes improve, the body becomes in good shape.
In the first days after the holidays, sleep problems may occur. After all, even during these few days, the habit has developed to sleep more, to go to bed later. It's hard to rebuild. Go to bed early, as you are used to on weekdays. If it is difficult to fall asleep, airing the room, herbal tea and breathing exercises will help. Hiking can also promote good sleep.
If it's hard to focus on basic tasks at work, start small - tidy up your desk. This will help put your thoughts in order. Write down what you need to do this week in your notebook and start doing it point by point. Limit distractions from the work process as much as possible. Set a limit on teas and conversations with colleagues, if they are not related to work. At the same time, there is no need to try to redo all the work in the shortest possible time. And you shouldn't stay late at work. Let your body rebuild.
