Storing food properly
The preparation of a hearty Tet tray with many dishes is not to be missed. So we often reserve a large amount of food for processing during the New Year. However, preserving scientific food to both be healthy and retain nutritional value is not well understood. Doctor Vo Thanh Hai gives advice:
Refrigerator: Refrigerator must be cleaned regularly. Do not overload the refrigerator to ensure sufficient refrigeration. And remember, always keep the refrigerator temperature below 4 degrees Celsius, the freezer is below 0 degrees Celsius.
Fresh food: Including meats, seafood - after buying to conduct preliminary processing clean, wash plenty of water and remember to drain. Then divide into parts for easy processing and convenient to take out and use.
Processed food: For cooked food, it is advisable to balance the amount sufficient for one use into each clean box, then refrigerate. Store uneaten food away from raw foods to prevent bacteria from entering.
Drinking limits
Conventional psychology in the New Year, because eating a lot of high-protein and fat-rich foods, soft drinks will be the top solution to make digestion easier and a favorite drink for children. However, the stomach wall of the baby is very thin, if used much can lead to damage to the gastric mucosa causing digestive disorders. If overused will lead to excess energy, obesity.
Next, alcohol is the most popular drink on Tet days. In the composition of alcohol, beer contains alcohol - ethanol will be harmful to our bodies. If the amount of alcohol in the body exceeds the allowed level, beneficial bacteria will be overloaded and destroyed. When beneficial bacteria are deficient, a healthy digestive system is easily broken, the mucus that protects the gastrointestinal mucosa will be eroded, causing digestive disorders. Alcohol also stimulates the stomach lining to produce more digestive acid, which can lead to nausea. The risk of peptic ulcer may occur if you regularly use this drink excessively.
Sleep properly and get enough sleep
Getting enough sleep will make you have the perfect spirit as well as good health to always have energy ready for fun on Tet. If you do not have enough sleep for a long time, you will be exhausted, not alert, or even eat an appetite.
The lying position is also equally important to the digestive system. This will make the process of transporting waste from the small intestine to the large intestine easier. And yet, the sleeping posture also limits the functional disorders of the digestive system, especially they must always be busy during the New Year. According to a report in the UK, people who suffer from heartburn often experience a significant reduction when they lie on their left side.
