The doctor gave advice on getting out of the post

Olga Chirkova, a doctor and expert in medical prevention, told us how to leave the fast correctly.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Friday, March 20, the doctor warned that a sudden transition from lean to fatty foods could lead to serious consequences, including emergency surgery.

She noted that fasting should not be perceived as a diet: in case of gastrointestinal diseases and metabolic disorders, it is better to abandon it. Also, according to her, pregnant women, lactating women and people with high physical activity do not fast.

She added that doctors have characteristic statistics: if injuries are more often recorded on New Year's Eve, then exacerbations of cholelithiasis and pancreatitis are more common on Easter. According to her, emergency operations to remove the gallbladder are often performed during this period, so you should start talking gradually and carefully, writes RT.
