Proper planning of food intake and timing of meals helps prevent indigestion in the first place..

Eating food should be tried in smaller portions and more often. Foods high in protein contribute to a more uniform concentration of acid in gastric juice.

Drink between meals, and it is better to refrain from drinking during meals - this can cause bloating.

Avoid stressful situations while eating. Eat in a relaxed, relaxed environment, chewing food slowly and thoroughly.

Maintain optimal weight. Excess weight puts pressure on the abdomen and internal organs, as a result of which digestion is impaired.

Maintain an upright posture (standing or sitting) for 30 minutes after eating. This will relieve the pressure..

The last meal should be a few hours before bedtime.. Going to bed soon after eating can increase your chances of reflux..

Compliance with certain rules will help to avoid mistakes at the festive table..

Try all dishes.

Each hostess prepares for the festive feast especially carefully, trying to please her loved ones. The guests usually at the sight of a festive table run up their eyes, what to try, and their hands reach out for one dish, and for another, and for the third, and for the tenth... As a result, on the plate there is a mix-mountain of different yummy, and in the stomach - real.

With this approach to food, no digestive enzymes are enough to digest it all.. Therefore, fermentative and putrid dyspepsia begins.. This is expressed in nausea and heaviness in the stomach, heartburn, bloating, and in especially severe cases, overeating leads to vomiting and diarrhea..

How to be? The " You will not even notice how to eat more than at a regular dinner.. Therefore, do not try to try everything.. This is not the first or last time you see this treat.? Try it on another holiday.

Starve all day.

All day planing salads, baking, boiling, frying and at the same time only snacking in fits and starts, so that there is \? It is clear that with this approach, you literally pounce on food in the evening.. And this leads not only to extra pounds, but also to problems of the digestive system, since it is forced to sharply rebuild from one regime to another..

How to be? Eat normally during the day, not forgetting about breakfast or lunch. And if the gala dinner is scheduled closer to midnight, then dinner at the usual time.

Sitting around the table is a problem of many festive feasts.. Gathering with guests at the festive table, we sit at it until the time comes to disperse. As a result, we feel that we did not just overeat, but as if the stomach was filled with stones.. In fact, the organs of the gastrointestinal tract simply do not have time to produce the enzymes necessary to digest such an amount of food..

How to be? Periodically distracted from food. To dance, and if there is no dancing in the program, help the hostess bring the dishes, walk around the apartment, talk, finally. During this time, carbohydrates will have time to be absorbed, blood sugar will increase, and appetite will decrease..

Eat at night Many feasts last until midnight. For example, New Year is a night holiday, and most people organize a feast closer to midnight, which our digestive system does not accept at all.. According to the laws of physiology, all organs of the gastrointestinal tract must rest at night.. And on New Year's Eve, they are forced to work hard..

How to be? It is better to have dinner at 6-7 pm, and at night organize a table with light snacks, vegetable salads, fruits. Cakes and pastries should be set aside for the morning..

Drinking champagne on an empty stomach More often it happens at work, when at the end of the working day employees decide to celebrate something with a bottle of champagne. As a rule, only sweets are attached to it.. But champagne contains carbon dioxide, which irritates the lining of the esophagus, damages an empty stomach, causing esophagitis and gastritis.. In addition, on an empty stomach, the absorption of alcohol increases, so it is easy to get drunk even after one glass.

How to be? Do not drink alcohol or carbonated drinks on an empty stomach. If, nevertheless, an event suddenly arises at which you have to drink, and lunch is not provided, try to eat something more substantial than candy before a glass of champagne.. Any food previously eaten has a neutralizing effect on alcohol and reduces its absorption.

Eating salads in three days Usually they cook so much for the holidays that even the most stubborn cannot eat it at a festive dinner. That is why the Olivier salad lives in the refrigerator for three more days, the fish under the marinade and baked meat are also stored there.. But thermally processed food cannot be stored even in the refrigerator for more than two days.. Salads dressed with mayonnaise or vegetable oil should be eaten during the day.. Otherwise, the risk of food poisoning is high..

How to be? Do not cook like a company of soldiers. Do not leave half-eaten dishes on the table, but transfer them to enamel or glass vessels with lids, or wrap them in foil and put them in the refrigerator..

Drink and not get drunk Drink a lot during the holidays. But, in order to maintain a relative sobriety of mind and not harm health, you need to drink according to certain rules..

Rule one. Have a snack.

Do not forget to eat before and during the feast. Foods, especially fatty ones, slow down the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into the blood. Plus, feeling full reduces the urge to drink..

In this sense, dishes with potatoes or cabbage are useful - these vegetables adsorb alcohol and thereby prevent its peak concentrations in the blood.

Second rule. Drink fruit drinks.

As well as juices, water, tea. Drinking large amounts of soft drinks can reduce inebriation.

Third rule. Do not drink alcohol with soda.

Carbon dioxide accelerates the absorption of alcohol and, accordingly, intoxication occurs faster.

Rule four. Pause.

Contrary to the well-known saying, after the first glasses, a break is necessary. At least 20-30 minutes. During this time, you will be able to have a good snack, carbohydrates will begin to be absorbed, and alcoholic appetite will decrease..

The fifth rule. Do not mix.

Alcohol is incompatible with taking any medications. At best, medications just won't work.. At worst, they can have an undesirable effect..

For example, antidepressants in combination with alcohol can cause a hypertensive crisis, antiallergic drugs - a sharp drop in blood pressure; cardiovascular drugs - heart rhythm disturbances; medicines to lower blood pressure - a sharp drop in pressure up to collapse.

A severe hangover is caused not so much by the amount of alcohol as by the fact that various drinks have been drunk.

Meanwhile, low-alcohol and strong ones are not recommended to be mixed. The former are absorbed faster, giving a feeling of relaxation and some euphoria - dopamine, which is produced by the body under the influence of alcohol, is responsible for these sensations. As a result, a person, in pursuit of pleasure, loses control over himself and can sort out strong drinks.

Strong drinks are not absorbed immediately, and intoxication occurs more slowly.. If you drink, lowering the degree, then weak alcoholic beverages, especially carbonated ones, accelerate the absorption of alcohol, and its concentration in the blood increases sharply.

Also, do not mix grape spirits (wine, cognac, champagne, brandy) and cereals (beer, vodka, whiskey).
