Holidays are not only pleasant communication and a delicious table, but also a complete change of the usual regime. Instead of standard meals - an endless feast. You need to start putting the body in order after a busy vacation or weekend with a general cleaning of the refrigerator. What are we doing? We get rid of fatty, fried, salty, sweet and alcoholic ─ these products slag our body (especially the intestines). Pickles, spicy snacks and alcoholic beverages retain fluid in the tissues of the body, which is also sadly reflected on the arrows of the scales. But a serious lack of fermented milk products and vegetables lowers the metabolic rate, which leads to problems with digestion, so we fill the corresponding shelves, on the contrary. Move on.
"No" to fasting
Our body quickly rebuilds on an unhealthy wave, and it is especially difficult psychologically to refuse abundance, therefore, a diet after "gorging" is a surely losing option. Thinking that the times of hunger have come, the body will begin to strenuously stock up on fat. It is important to smoothly reduce the calorie content of dishes, include vegetables, fruits, dietary, lean meat, seafood in the diet. An excellent addition will be dried fruits - apricots, dried apricots, prunes (they all contain so necessary vitamins and trace elements, in addition, they have good cleansing properties). Useful of cereals - buckwheat and rice (not white). Fruits, vegetables, dietary dairy and fermented milk products should be eaten without fear or doubt. Also, the body, "exhausted" by "Narzan" and "Borjomi", needs potassium (it is found in oatmeal, bananas, nuts, carrots, tomatoes and the same dried fruits).
Supply water
It is not for nothing that they say that water is life. Despite the fact that abundant, not too proper nutrition leads to stagnation of fluids in the body, the latter lacks water. Coffee, juices, alcohol have also worked to worsen our metabolism. Drinking more water will help solve this problem. Plain, without gas and dyes. No juice, no mineral water, no tea with all kinds of sweets, cookies (our Russian tradition, which has taken root even on ordinary, and not only on holidays), namely water.
The advice, in fact, is relevant not only in the post-holiday period. There is a known formula according to which everyone can calculate the amount of water that his body needs per day - 30-50 mg per kilogram of weight. Of course, the water balance is individual for everyone. Age, weight, height and other factors matter.
Movement is life
Normalization of nutrition is only one step in the matter of entering the usual regime. We also need movement. This is not to say that immediately after the holidays you need to set yourself the goal of breaking Olympic records, but it is necessary to restore physical activity. We remember our promise to ourselves after the New Year to do morning exercises and complicate the task a little - without going to gyms or fitness centers, we begin to train with an individual "trainer" directly at home. Modern mobile applications allow you to choose a training program in accordance with the level of training and monitor its implementation using video prompts (completely free). Do not forget about the elementary need for walks in the fresh air.
Bath business
Bath and sauna are one of the most effective ways to cleanse and heal. In the bath, we get rid of dead skin cells, stimulate the work of the sebaceous and sweat glands, which leads to the elimination of toxins and toxins. Bath steam improves metabolic processes, oxygenation of tissues, and strengthens the immune system. Do not forget about the pleasant - the bath improves the psychological state.
To summarize: after the New Year holidays, we need - the right and familiar to our standard diet products, an adequate drinking regime and movement.
