However, during the Spring Festival, dinners with relatives and friends are indispensable. People at the dinner table don't know how to control themselves, and it is common for overeating to lead to food stagnation. Coupled with the cold weather, in order to keep warm, the human body will need to consume more calories to maintain body temperature, so the appetite will get better, which will easily lead to indigestion and food accumulation.
