Get Rid of the Factors That Endanger You During the Holidays!

Food poisoning

It is said that in December you are more exposed to the danger of food poisoning than in any other month of the year. This is the opinion of the specialists and we have no reason to doubt it.

What to do

Drink plenty of water, clear or strained soups. Can't you swallow anything? Then suck ice cubes.

When you get to the point where you can eat, don't venture for heavy foods, but start with easy-to-digest ones, such as bananas, rice, apple puree, or toast.

Raw garlic acts as a sterilizer, this being a natural remedy used for a long time. So, when you feel able (its strong aroma could "knock you down"), gnaw a few pieces of garlic and then drink a lot of water.

Before you go to the doctor, try some natural remedies: Finocarbo Plus (capsules and tea), which relieves the symptoms of indigestion, tea for gastritis, and ulcers.

Do not ignore the power of probiotic products in remedying these types of ailments; their effect is proven: it helps to restore the gastric mucosa (Biotics or yogurts with probiotics).

When to worry

Call your family doctor when the symptoms of intoxication last for a few days, you have a fever, severe pain, bleeding.

TIP To avoid this stomach problem, be careful where you get the meat and cook each dish so that no ingredients remain raw.

There is an "emergency kit for holiday-specific issues." You definitely need herbal teas (chamomile, mint), baking soda, and other stomach pain products. Don't forget to buy as dry biscuits as possible (they can be replaced with toast) and natural fruit juices (they help in case of excess alcohol).

As you could have many children visiting at Christmas, it is good to have in the pharmacy of the antiemetic house, sterile dressings (for accidents resulting in cuts and bruises), healing substances, and against burns (the fascination of Christmas candles can also have unpleasant results).

Dizzying headaches

Seasonal stress can bring with it some absolutely terrible headaches.

What to do

Research shows that ibuprofen-based painkillers, combined with coffee, remove pain faster and are twice as long as regular painkillers.

A walk will improve your blood circulation and help you get rid of rising blood pressure faster.

TIP Keep a pencil between your teeth! This is not surreal advice, but very practical advice. The main effect of this action will be that you will start to relax because it will distract you from the source.

Indigestion

We eat four times as much food during Christmas and New Year. Or at least that's the result of the results published by the National Obesity Forum. No wonder our digestive system finds it worthwhile to revolt!

What to do

• Dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water, drink and you will get rid of heartburn.
• Peppermint tea helps to calm the digestive tract.
• Eat something raw, such as salad or fruit, to speed up the digestive process.

Emergency Assistant

The easiest medicines to take (and with the fewest side effects) are those for heartburn: antacids. But don't continue to overeat;

• Eliminate the source of discomfort, do not focus on the effects.
• Do not stay away from natural remedies: to improve digestion, use capsules that contain artichoke extract.
• Flatulence is one of the effects of indigestion. Treat her with the right medications and chew food well.
• Balloons, herbal treatments are the most recommended: use coriander fruit tea.

When to worry

If the antacids do not work, the pain is unbearable, you have chest pain, sweating and you can't breathe properly, seek medical help. Symptoms of a heart attack include indigestion.

TIP Doesn't bloating give you peace? Would you feel better if you could eliminate gas, but you can't? Sit on the floor, with your hands in your hands and your head down, and sit for a few minutes. The effect is guaranteed.

Hangover

The parties are chained during this period, you also have many service obligations that you have to honor by having a glass, the family gathers together, the uninvited guests must be served with a bottle of wine… Well, no wonder the spirit of Christmas becomes too present in your life!

What to do

Drink half a liter of water before going to bed to combat dehydration and help eliminate toxins. The next day, the water supply must be at least two liters and, ready, you are like new!

The so-called "isotonic" drinks (available in stores) have the role of supplementing the loss of salt and sugar from the body and speeding up the rehydration process. But choose acid-free options, because otherwise, you will have another type of stomach problem.

Festive cold
