How not to ruin your health during the New Year vacations?

New Year is a time of feasts, mayonnaise, cold cuts and alcohol. Many people prepare their physical shape for the holidays, anticipating in advance that during this time will “build up” extra pounds. But what if they tell you that you can eat whatever you want and still stay in the usual shape? You just need to adhere to a few rules.

Do not go to bed immediately after the feast

Wait until the salads and booze “settle” and go for a walk. If the amount of alcohol drunk, of course, will allow you to move briskly.

Do not abuse alcohol

Alcohol itself is extremely caloric. Its energy capacity is almost twice the energy capacity of carbohydrates (7 kcal vs. 4 kcal). If you can not resist, give preference to strong pure alcohol, such as vodka, rum, whiskey or cognac. But in general you should not abuse it.

Kholodets and tangerines can be eaten in almost any quantity, the main thing is not to get allergic to citrus fruits. Kholodets contains a large amount of useful collagen, and vitamin C from citrus fruits accelerates its absorption. This will improve the quality of your joints and skin.

Don’t forget to be active

Dancing, active games and walks in the fresh air will allow you to spend enough energy to minimize the deposition of extra pounds and preserve the figure. Motor activity of any intensity in any case is safer than its absence. And the medieval Persian scientist Avicenna said: “No medicine will not replace physical activity, and physical activity will replace thousands of drugs.

After each approach to the festive table, be sure to go for a walk. So you will keep the balance between consumed and expended calories. And the numbers on the scale will not increase.
