According to the doctor, overeating at the New Year’s table, that is, at night, can lead to a feeling of heaviness and bloating, but even more unpleasant consequences are stomach pain and heartburn. In people suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, overeating can cause ulcers, gastritis and pancreatitis.
The importance of moderation also applies to alcohol. Topchiy warned that the myth that a large amount of alcohol improves the absorption of food, helps to better endure a festive feast and recover after it, can lead to the most important consequence – the death of brain cells. “Under the influence of alcohol, some brain cells die irreversibly. Therefore, we can say that the person lost part of his brain,” he said.
“Food should be balanced in terms of microelements: it is recommended to avoid abundant animal fats, which contribute to insulin secretion, trans fats (for example, resulting from frying in vegetable oil) and easily digestible carbohydrates. Try to eat small portions on New Year’s Eve,” Topchiy explained.
