Three Important Things to Note During the Holidays
The Spring Festival is approaching, and people are busy cleaning their homes, preparing delicious food and wine, and rushing back home... However, experts remind everyone that while it's a happy time, you shouldn't get too carried away. The holidays come every year, but your own health is the most important thing. There are three "syndromes" to prevent.
"Fume Inhalation Syndrome":
Harmful substances in the smoke and oil fumes from cooking can damage human cell membranes. Housewives who spend all day "stir-frying, sautéing, and deep-frying" in the kitchen are bound to experience back pain, general fatigue, and loss of appetite. To protect your health, be sure to install a range hood, exhaust fan, or other ventilation equipment in your kitchen. Turn on this equipment as soon as you turn on the gas stove, and let it run for a while after you finish cooking.
"Travel Syndrome":
In the crowded Spring Festival travel rush, passengers' chances of getting sick are much higher than usual, which can easily lead to "Travel Syndrome." Passengers can slightly open the car window, walk around the platform when the train stops, or take some anti-infection or immunity-boosting medications like Cephalosporin a few days before the trip. Passengers should pay attention to food hygiene, not buying unclean or poorly packaged food, avoiding direct contact with food with their hands, and using disposable cups, bowls, and chopsticks as much as possible. Also, be careful not to eat food that is too cold. Additionally, it's a good idea to bring some medicine for digestive tract diseases.
"Social Syndrome":
Social gatherings often revolve around eating and drinking. Eating a lot while burning few calories leads to nutritional excess and obesity. First and foremost, try your best to order only what you will eat, and let the guest's preferences guide the meal. Avoid excessive consumption of animal foods like chicken, duck, and meat, while moderately increasing your intake of soy products and fish. Don't be picky or have food preferences; have one chopstick of each dish, and no more than three. Also, it's best to eat a little rice at the end, followed by some fruit after the meal.
