The doctor gave advice on how to restore the body after New Year's feasts

After the New Year holidays, plenty of food and late wake-ups, it can be difficult for the body to switch to the working mode. Chief physician of Palmira Clinic, candidate of medical sciences, psychotherapist Yanina Fedorenko told in an interview with "Gazeta.Ru" on Monday, January 6, how to help the body come back to normal.

"One of the main problems after the holidays is the disruption of the sleep schedule. To avoid morning fatigue, start preparing the body in advance: every day go to bed 15-30 minutes earlier and gradually bring the rise time to the usual. This way you will restore biological rhythms and the first working days will be easier," the doctor explained.

She noted that usually New Year's feasts lead to the fact that the body receives a lot of fatty food, salt and sugar consumption exceeds the daily norms. Fedorenko advised to include in the diet vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, as well as protein food. She also reminded about the need to drink enough fluids to speed up metabolism.

"Rest is no reason to forget about movement. Going to the rink, going skiing, and other moving activities are great ways to stay active over the holidays. But even light exercise or a 30-minute walk in the fresh air can help restore tone. If you did sports before the holidays, return to training gradually, so as not to overload the body," - emphasized the expert.

She also recommended not to rush immediately to fulfill the accumulated work tasks, not to try to do everything at once. The body needs some time to readjust, and it is better that the transition from the New Year holidays to the working schedule was smooth.

"If you feel a drop in energy, apathy or other signs of fatigue, do not delay a visit to the doctor. Holidays, although associated with joy, can be stressful for the body, so it sometimes needs support," concluded Fedorenko.
