Whether you are willing to accept it or not, the holiday is coming to an end and returning to work may be giving many of us the ‘holiday blues’. Are you one of those people who finds it difficult to adjust to the new schedule at work after the holidays? Does your body feel sluggish and has your metabolism slowed down?
Rest assured, you are not the only one. When the intense holiday activities are behind us, the emotional result is often not joy, but depression. You may feel as empty as the refrigerator that was previously filled with food worthy of a feast.
If you want to get out of the ‘post-holiday syndrome’ state but do not know how to recover, follow these simple but effective steps.
01 Increase your water intake
Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water. When you feel thirsty, your body is already dehydrated. Therefore, make it a habit to consciously drink water throughout the day.
According to the “Dietary Guide for Residents of China”, adults should drink 1500-1700 ml of water per day, about 200 ml each time, and not more than 500 ml of water at one time. Excessive water drinking can increase the metabolic load of your kidneys.
02 Drink purified water
Pay attention to the quality of the water you consume. Remember that unfiltered water contains pathogenic microorganisms, bacteria, parasites, etc., which can cause gastrointestinal problems and endanger your health.
03 Reduce alcoholic and soft drinks
Many people replace water with soft drinks, believing that they, like water, help maintain the body’s vitality. Soft drinks are full of ’empty’ calories and often interfere with digestion and absorption of nutrients. Fresh, filtered water can achieve the effect of quenching thirst and contains no calories.
04 Pay attention to the water temperature
Consuming drinks that are too hot (65 ℃ and above) for a long period of time can increase the risk of esophageal cancer. The temperature of our inner esophageal mucosa is 36.5~37.2 ℃. Experts recommend that the appropriate temperature is between 10 and 40 ℃.
05 Do not drink water too quickly
When we are thirsty, especially when we are hot or after exercise, many of us drink water in large gulps. However, drinking water quickly can lead to hyponatremia or, more simply put, water intoxication. This occurs when water intake exceeds the kidneys’ ability to excrete water. Therefore, it is important to drink pure water slowly and in smaller sips.
