Post-Holiday Diet Mistakes: A Balanced Diet is Crucial.

Misconception 1:

After the holiday, one should consume large amounts of oats, corn, celery, chives, etc., to balance the excessive oil intake during the festival.

If gastrointestinal discomfort occurs due to excessive greasy food during the Spring Festival, then consuming large amounts of oats, corn, celery, chives, etc., after the holiday will further aggravate the gastrointestinal discomfort. This is because these foods are rich in dietary fiber and contain a considerable amount of insoluble coarse fiber, which delays gastric emptying and causes symptoms such as bloating, early satiety, belching, indigestion, and loss of appetite. It may even affect the next meal, adding to the burden on the intestines that have been "overworked" throughout the holiday period.

Misconception 2:

Post-holiday diet should be "mainly vegetarian".

A "mainly vegetarian" diet will lead to a new round of nutritional imbalance, especially due to insufficient intake of B vitamins, certain trace elements, high-quality protein, and essential fatty acids that are abundant in animal foods.

Reading Recommendations

Adjust your three daily meals after the holiday; eat at regular times.
Use fewer seasonings and spices; simple cooking is healthier.
A strict all-vegetarian diet is not healthy; a diet should be diverse.
Green tea is the best base for a spring wellness tea.
Aid digestion and boost your stomach with some hawthorn and malt tea.
