Limiting the risk of misalignment and malnutrition at Easter
Table of Contents
1. What are diarrhea and indigestion?
It is caused by disturbances in the digestive tract its lower animal, which separates the saliva from the stomach, relaxes, resulting in the acidic contents of its stomach being recharged back into the esophagus. It often occurs in the course of reflux disease, but can also occur as a result of eating a large portion of food.2. Consuming smaller portions and choosing foods
A wide selection of dishes at the Christmas table is conducive to eating more than usual food, which leads to overeating. So it's worth choosing as few portions as possible. For example, split a cake or sausage in half or just put on one tablespoon of salad or bigos. It's also good to consider whether there's a possibility of tasting certain dishes later (e.g. when a meeting is organized in our house) and decide what we're going to eat now and try another time.3. It's physical activity
The holiday season is not a good time for intense exercise, which does not mean that you should give up physical activity altogether. Instead of sitting at a table all day, it is a good idea to take a walk or play with younger family members. It is an excellent way to build and strengthen bonds with loved ones, as well as to avoid stomach ailments, since moderate activity facilitates digestion.4. Avoiding meals
Some people decide to give up certain meals during the holiday season in order to balance their energy or feel more hungry before dinner. However, this strategy can have the opposite effect. Hunger will increase appetite and increase the likelihood of eating larger portions, and the shrunken stomach will expand faster, causing painful discomfort. It is therefore not advisable to skip meals altogether, but it is better to opt for smaller, light meals.5. Slow food
Fast and inaccurate eating promotes the appearance of symptoms of malnutrition by the digestive tract. Meals at the Christmas table should therefore be eaten in a hurry, chewing and swallowing carefully. This will facilitate the process of digestion in the stomach and will also give time to transmit information to the brain about its filling so that there is no time to overeat.6. It's the right outfit
A feeling of discomfort after a meal can also be triggered by mechanical factors, including clothing that fits or is too tight. Pressure caused by a strap, a thin underwear or an elongated garment makes it difficult to digest properly and may increase the symptoms of dizziness and indigestion.7. Drinks during meals
The consumption of carbonated beverages can increase the feeling of discomfort in the abdominal cavity and should therefore be discontinued in both the version with sugar and zero. Limit or eliminate the consumption of alcohol, which has the properties of enhancing the relaxation of the esophagus, which can cause or exacerbate the symptoms of diarrhea.8. Food by force
The main cause of clutter and malnutrition during the holiday season is overeating, so it's important to listen to your body's signals about food. The pressure of trying every meal at the table, eating everything on the plate, and your appetite for tasty food can be difficult to control.9. Individual tolerance
For health reasons, some people give up certain ingredients on a daily basis, such as lactose, gluten, onions, garlic, or fried foods. The holiday season can be a temptation to deviate from the rules, but if we know that an ingredient is not good for us, it is best to refrain from eating it or to ask the host of the meal if the food contains anything that would cause illness.10. Natural methods of supporting digestion
In the latter case, however, people suffering from constipation in the course of a reflux disease must be cautious, as the fluid may aggravate the symptoms. It may also be helpful to prepare a glass of flax glue: about 2 tablespoons (whole or melted) of the flax seed should be injected with a cup of warm water and left for about half an hour to ferment.
