Plentiful food, fatty salads, sleep disturbances, unhealthy goodies and drinks – the New Year holidays can exhaust even the strongest organism. Residents of Samara shared their tips that they use to save themselves after the holidays. Take note!
We save ourselves by water
Polina, 33 years old:
“New Year’s holidays can easily turn into excruciating days. Fun, splashes of champagne, toast, again champagne and toast, and the next day you curse yourself and your headache. The best remedy is water. And not only inside. Get in the shower! Whatever mood you have, a contrast shower will not only refresh and invigorate, but also make you wake up completely and relieve your drunken state. On such days, I completely refuse coffee and tea, and only drink water without gas. And in huge quantities. It is very refreshing and helps the body to get rid of toxins. In just a couple of hours, you will already be breaking the ice at the rink or skating with your friends down the hill. “
Cooking dietary soup
Tatyana, 29 years:
“In addition to traditional Olivier, on New Year’s Eve I prepare a small pot of chicken broth. I know that my husband will kiss my hands the next morning for this. Hot soup without any vegetables! And another cup of sweet green tea with lemon – and the husband is like a cucumber! “
Down with swelling!
Marina, 31 year:
“The next morning, after the feast, I can hardly be called a beauty. I have, so to speak, a “talking about all the festive consequences” face. Swelling, puffy … In this form, you definitely will not dare to visit your parents or friends. I’m saving myself with ice. On the eve of the holiday, I mix mint and chamomile, brew it and send it in molds to the freezer. And in the morning I arrange shock therapy! Then I put on a moisturizing mask and spend much less time on makeup. “
Vitamins help!
Olga, 27 years:
“I’m ready to write a whole ode praising vegetable or fruit smoothies. Better, of course, vegetable. After the festive gluttony, I just can’t see salads with fatty mayonnaise! And the stomach more and more often resembles and reproaches me for the uncontrolled eating of goodies. Therefore, I take out a blender, any vegetables from the refrigerator (but it is better to choose green vegetables – celery, cucumbers, spinach, dill, etc.) and prepare a shock vitamin cocktail. It invigorates, refreshes, and the stomach is no longer in a hurry to look at the world outside. “
Sport time
Margarita, 35 years old:
“No matter how hard and bad it is for me, I try to overpower myself. A simple 20 minute charge works wonders. No, of course, you should not swing the press, jump rope or lift weights – you will only get worse. Light gymnastics in the Soviet style. Remember, as a child, they turned on the broadcast of the exercise every morning on the radio? This is exactly what you need. Then I go for a walk and get some fresh air. If I still have enough strength, I go for a swim in the pool. “
Unloading!
Alina, 34 years old:
“For me, New Year’s Eve is the time to gobble! And I am absolutely not ashamed! After all, I know that on January 1 (and, perhaps, a couple more days during the New Year holidays), the time of reckoning will come. No food and only spurge. This is a large leaf tea brewed with boiled milk. As soon as the feeling of hunger appears, I drink a whole glass of this broth. Toxins and calories are eliminated, the feeling of hunger is dulled and a feeling of self-satisfaction appears. “
Careful with the stomach
Olga, 26 years:
“Unfortunately, I have gastritis, and all the remedies like brine and kefir are simply destructive for my stomach. Therefore, softer and non-acidic products are ideal for me: for example, a delicious and healthy rosehip broth. I just add rose hips to regular tea, a couple of tablespoons of sugar, my favorite TV show and complete relaxation! “
Prepare your body in advance
Oleg, 37 years old:
“I am not tormented by any consequences after the feasts. My wonderful wife knows secrets that even doctors will envy. If fish, shrimps, seaweed, its signature feijoa salad appear on our table in a couple of days, this means we are preparing for the holidays. According to my wife, these products are fortified with iodine, which helps to normalize the body’s processes. Well, my wife speaks so cleverly. I believe and eat! “
