Spring Festival health preservation method
1, a balanced diet.
From the perspective of dietary science, the Spring Festival emphasizes that protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals should be kept in relative proportion to prevent overeating and avoid liver dysfunction and abnormal bile secretion.
2, the diet should be light
From the thick taste of cream in winter to mild temperature, the diet should be warm and avoid cold. People with cold stomach can often eat ginger to drive away cold and warm stomach; Asthma patients can take some ginger honey water to moisten dryness and relieve asthma; Patients with chronic bronchitis should fast or eat less spicy food. Others should not eat more irritating food, so as not to help the fire and hurt the body.
3. Fruit is indispensable
Eating more fruits can not only clear away heat and detoxify, moisten the intestines and relieve constipation, but also regulate and improve the metabolic function of the human body, prevent various diseases and improve health. But it should be noted that the digestion time and process of fruits and vegetables are different, so they should be eaten separately. Otherwise, a large number of enzymes in fruits will destroy the cellulose of vegetables and cannot be absorbed by the stomach.
4. Vegetables are better than medicines
The festive table is rich in dishes, and every meal is inseparable from fish and meat. However, people often feel tired and flatulence. Eating less meat and more vegetables at this time can alleviate the physical crisis. Fresh vegetables are an alkaline food, rich in cellulose, which can relieve greasy food, maintain normal gastrointestinal peristalsis, prevent constipation, neutralize excess acidic substances in the body and maintain the needs of human metabolism.
5. Don't overeat.
Eating and drinking during the Spring Festival is easy to overeat. The activities of human digestive organs are regular. When eating, the stomach, small intestine, gallbladder and pancreas secrete various digestive juices, which makes the nutrients in food easily absorbed by the human body. If you suddenly eat too much, or drink too much, you need more digestive juice to digest, but the secretion of digestive juice is limited, the stomach is greatly swollen, and peristalsis is difficult, which affects the normal digestive function. If the situation is serious, it will lead to acute pancreatitis, gastroenteritis or gastrointestinal ulcer.
