As the saying goes

In this family-friendly, feasting,

The day of drunkenness

If you are not careful, it is easy to "overeat".

You are busy with the last wave of "carnival"

Be careful

A common symptom of post-holiday syndrome is:

People have returned to work, but their stomachs are on strike

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Zhang and his friends met at a popular late-night snack shop to celebrate the holiday. Faced with a table full of delicious food, Xiao Zhang could not resist the temptation and enjoyed the feast of taste buds. However, on the way home, Xiao Zhang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, which was unbearable. His friends immediately drove him to the Hunan Provincial Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment Institute (affiliated to the University of South China Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment Institute).

After a series of examinations, Xiao Zhang was diagnosed with acute pancreatitis. Lan Tian, ​​a doctor at the outpatient and emergency department of Hunan Provincial Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment (affiliated to the University of South China Institute of Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment), said: " Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory reaction caused by the activation of pancreatic enzymes in the pancreas, which leads to self-digestion, edema, bleeding and even necrosis of pancreatic tissue."

Acute pancreatitis is usually related to improper diet, excessive drinking and other factors. During the special festival of the Spring Festival, people tend to indulge in food, so the incidence of acute pancreatitis will increase accordingly.

Lan Tian, ​​attending physician of the outpatient and emergency department of Hunan Provincial Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment Institute (Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment Institute affiliated to University of South China), reminds us to do the following four things to have a healthy and beautiful "stomach".

1. Overeating is not a good idea

People often cannot control themselves in front of delicious food. In the short term, overeating may cause diseases such as pancreatitis and gastroenteritis ; in the long term, overeating is more likely to lead to diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver, obesity, etc., seriously affecting physical health.

2. A combination of meat and vegetables is healthier

Meat, vegetables and fruits should be eaten together. Meat should be mainly lean meat, such as fish, chicken and white meat , which are lower in calories than beef, pork and other foods. Vegetables should be fresh and rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, such as lettuce, cabbage sprouts, potatoes, broccoli , etc.

3. Drink less to stay healthy

Excessive drinking not only leads to alcohol poisoning, but also increases the risk of pancreatitis and gastric ulcers . In the long run, it may also cause a series of complications and chronic diseases such as alcoholic cirrhosis, hypertension, diabetes , etc.

4. Proper exercise is essential

During the Chinese New Year, we tend to eat too much food, resulting in overnutrition. Only by increasing the amount of exercise can we consume excess calories and avoid converting them into fat and causing obesity. Exercise can also promote gastrointestinal motility, help digestion and defecation.

"Holiday syndrome" strikes

If you have poor appetite or stomach discomfort

The best response

Still the "Six-Character Scripture"

Keep your mouth shut and move your legs

Wish you all

The snake leaps into the new year, and good luck in the new year
