Crimean doctors appeal to reason: New Year's feast is dangerous for the body

The pancreas suffers the most from overeating. This is the most sensitive organ to malnutrition. Excessive consumption of fatty, fried and spicy foods along with alcohol can cause acute inflammation of the pancreas — pancreatitis. This is the most common diagnosis of post-holiday days. The next vulnerable organ is the liver. She is one of the first to react to errors in the diet, the most dangerous for her is not only an excess of fatty, but also sweet food , — notes Daria Lyubavina.

As the nutritionist noted, excessive consumption of alcohol on New Year’s Eve, as well as salty and spicy foods, can provoke a hypertensive crisis in people suffering from arterial hypertension. A sudden increase in blood pressure is dangerous with such serious complications as a stroke or heart attack.

In addition, non-compliance with the measures in eating at the New Year’s table leads to the appearance of 2-3 extra pounds in the form of body fat.

To avoid dangerous health consequences, you need to responsibly approach the preparation of the New Year’s menu.

Choose recipes where the serving of dishes is portioned. Try to use less mayonnaise and vegetable oil, give preference to low-calorie sauces. Keep appetizers small, and keep the same principle for desserts. The more variety, the more likely to overeat, because you really want to try everything. Pay more attention to the design of the table. On holidays, you should adhere to the usual diet — a balanced breakfast, lunch and dinner , — says Daria Lyubavina.

Summarizing the above, the chief nutritionist noted that food is a source of energy for the body, it must be spent alternating food intake with physical activity — dancing, outdoor games, walks.
