A guide to post-holiday recovery: Nutrition experts teach you how to beat the "holiday syndrome"

The jubilation of the Spring Festival is gradually coming to an end. As we prepare to return to our daily work and life, "holiday syndrome" has quietly struck. Don't worry, the nutrition experts at Hunan Provincial People's Hospital have prepared a thoughtful guide for everyone to help you quickly get back to your best condition:

1. Regular work and rest to rejuvenate

Go to bed 1-2 hours earlier every night, say goodbye to the nightlife of staying up late to watch TV series and play games, let your body gradually adapt to early sleep, and reshape your normal biological clock.

Set an alarm and adjust your wake-up time in a planned and gradual manner.

Before the end of the holiday, arrange a lunch break for yourself to relax your tired body and mind and inject new vitality into your subsequent work and life.

2. Eat a healthy diet to soothe your stomach

Transition from a rich and greasy diet to a light diet, and choose vegetables, fruits and whole grains rich in dietary fiber, such as corn, apples, etc. Adhere to regular and quantitative meals three times a day, focus on nutrition for breakfast, pursue variety for lunch, and eat moderate amounts for dinner. At the same time, reduce the intake of greasy and spicy foods to free the stomach from the "heavy taste" of the Spring Festival and reduce the burden of digestion.

3. Psychological adjustment and active response

Face work and life with an optimistic attitude. In your spare time, relax your body and mind through meditation, listening to music, etc., relieve anxiety, and make your heart more peaceful and stable.

4. Plan first and get into work mode in advance

Carefully formulate work plans and goals for the year, break down big tasks into small goals, and allocate time reasonably. This will make your work more organized and increase your sense of control and confidence in your work.

5. Exercise moderately to restore vitality

Choose appropriate sports according to your physical condition and hobbies. Running, yoga, and swimming are all good choices. Schedule at least 3-4 exercise sessions per week, each lasting more than 30 minutes. Through exercise, you can effectively consume the excess calories accumulated during the holidays, improve your physical fitness, and refresh your mental outlook.

Follow these methods, starting from multiple dimensions such as work and rest, diet, psychology and exercise, and gradually adjust your state. I believe you will soon be able to get rid of the entanglement of "holiday syndrome" and devote yourself to the work and life of the new year with full spirit and abundant vitality. The new year is full of infinite possibilities. Let us meet the challenges with full energy and gain more growth and happiness.
