Tips for keeping healthy during the Spring Festival: 1. Drink water even if you are not thirsty. During the festival, overeating and eating large amounts of fish and meat increase the burden on the intestines and stomach, so it is necessary to bathe the intestines after the festival.
Pay attention to reducing the intake of refined rice noodles, candies, and desserts, and especially drink more water. It is recommended to drink more boiled water or tea. This can speed up gastrointestinal motility and metabolism, and reduce the harm to the liver caused by large amounts of meat and alcohol.
2. Eat dietary fiber foods to cleanse the intestines. The big fish and meat during the Spring Festival will lead to an imbalance of meat and vegetables. The intake of crude fiber is too little. The lack of dietary fiber will lead to weakened intestinal peristalsis and form habitual constipation, which can lead to hemorrhoids and colorectal cancer. Excessive intake of dietary fiber can lead to hemorrhoids and colorectal cancer.
Fat is deposited under the skin through blood circulation, causing obesity; intestinal toxins accumulate, forming stool, and detoxification is not smooth, which in turn causes headaches, loss of appetite, rough skin, and stain deposition; blood lipids rise, inducing hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents
Various physical discomforts.
Dietary fiber itself is not digested and absorbed by the body. Because it contains many hydrophilic groups, it has strong water-holding properties, allowing feces to maintain a certain amount of water and volume. It can also stimulate the intestinal mucosa, increase intestinal peristalsis, and improve constipation.
Common foods such as oats, barley, beans, carrots, citrus, flax, etc. are rich in water-soluble fiber, which can slow down digestion and quickly excrete cholesterol, help regulate immune system function, and promote the excretion of toxic heavy metals in the body.
3. Pay attention to keeping your stomach warm. Many areas are experiencing snow and cooling during the Spring Festival. You need to pay attention to keeping your stomach warm to prevent cold air from entering the body and causing gastrointestinal discomfort.
We must know that "nine out of ten stomach diseases are cold". The stomach's temperament likes dryness and aversion to cold. Patients with a weak and cold stomach need to keep warm and avoid cold.
If you feel cold in the epigastrium, you can drink some millet porridge or ginger tea to maintain a good mood and mental state.
4. Eat more fruits and vegetables. The post-holiday diet is unhealthy. In addition to fish, there are also some fried and sweet foods.
