Many people skip breakfast, eat a sloppy lunch, eat a big dinner, and have a midnight snack. In addition, during the festival, there are frequent gatherings and rich dishes, so it is easy for people to overeat. If you suddenly eat too much or drink too much, you need more digestive juice to digest. However, the secretion of digestive juice has a certain limit. In addition, the stomach is very bloated and the gastrointestinal peristalsis is difficult, which affects the normal digestive function. In severe cases, it can lead to acute pancreatitis, gastroenteritis, or ulcers.

The diet structure should be similar to that of normal meals. You should also supplement your diet with vegetables and fruits. Be careful not to eat too much in one meal. Fresh vegetables are rich in fiber, which can relieve greasiness and maintain normal gastrointestinal motility. Appropriate fruits can prevent getting angry.

During the Spring Festival, there is too much meat and fried food, which naturally leads to higher intake of protein and fat. Coupled with the reduced physical activity, it is easy to induce metabolic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and gout. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, we should pay attention to a balanced diet and try to eat more light foods.

In addition to not eating "too well", during the Spring Festival, you should also be careful not to prepare "too much". People eat a lot during the Spring Festival, and there are a lot of leftovers. Leftovers are inevitable during the festival, but little do people know that if leftovers are not handled properly, they will also cause considerable safety problems. "It is best to eat what is cooked first, cook as much as you eat, and try not to have leftovers." Leftovers should be put in the refrigerator within two hours after cooking, and raw and cooked foods should be stored separately. Thawed meat, poultry and fish should not be stored again.

Food should be heated thoroughly to avoid being undercooked

In life, many ingredients contain natural toxins, and some meat foods also contain parasites and germs. During festivals, when there are abundant ingredients, special attention should be paid to hygiene and safety.

Take meat as an example. If the cooking temperature does not reach 100 degrees Celsius, the parasites and bacteria on the meat cannot be killed. In addition, if the food is not heated thoroughly, the parasites can survive. For example, when people eat hot pot, seafood, barbecue, etc., it is most likely that the food will be half-cooked. At this time, the parasite eggs are most active, and the chance of infection after eating is very high.

Undercooked lentils and underheated soy milk contain toxins, which may cause poisoning after consumption. Many people do not know that soybeans contain certain toxins. Remember that soybeans must be cooked before consumption, especially for blended soy milk. After blending, pour it into a small pot and simmer it on low heat for a while to prevent food poisoning caused by drinking uncooked soy milk.

In addition, many parts of potatoes also contain toxins to a greater or lesser extent, so they must be cooked before eating, only in this way can the toxins in potatoes be reduced to a minimum. Especially for potatoes that have sprouted, the sprouted parts must be cut off before eating.

In addition, drinking is inevitable during the Chinese New Year, and some drugs and alcohol are "enemies", such as ceftriaxone, metronidazole, tinidazole, ornidazole, furazolidone, ketoconazole, etc., and drinking should be avoided as much as possible during the use of the above drugs. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases need to be especially vigilant. In the event of an emergency, they should stop taking the drug immediately and go to the hospital for treatment.

The elderly and children have weak stomachs and intestines, so they should be careful about their diet

While celebrating the Spring Festival, special attention should be paid to the food safety of some special groups such as the elderly and children.

As the chewing and digestion abilities of the elderly are weak, they may become ill if they do not feel comfortable eating. Therefore, when feeding the elderly, softer or chopped foods should be selected to help with eating and digestion.

During the Chinese New Year, children will be surrounded by too many snacks and eat without restraint. As children have weak gastrointestinal functions, eating too much can easily cause indigestion. Therefore, children should be prevented from eating too much. In addition, most snacks contain non-food grade pigments, flavoring agents, preservatives, crispness agents, coloring agents, color preservatives, etc., which are all unsafe factors.

Pay attention to increase the amount of exercise

During holidays, people are less active than during work, so sleeping in, sitting for long periods of time and playing with their phones are common problems. During the holidays, people can do some outdoor sports, such as hiking and playing ball, to increase their calorie consumption. At the same time, it is recommended to develop the habit of monitoring your weight every day.
