The heavy food and wine "tour" during the Christmas and New Year holidays leads to weight gain.
Between meats and wine, we are consuming many calories, even excess.
Expert advice is to use common sense, drink plenty of water, and exercise to get back in shape quickly.
So, what should we do these days?
Yes, a little dessert, in moderation, when we feel the need, but especially if we have overindulged in recent days, it is best to avoid alcohol.
Then, return to your usual routine, with main meals and snacks.
Focus on fruits and vegetables, keeping in mind that there are no foods to demonize, just as there are no true detoxifying foods, and halve the portions on your plate.
These are the tips for a successful recovery after the excesses of Christmas and New Year from Professor Silvia Migliaccio, specialist in Endocrinology and Human Nutrition, and National Secretary of the Italian Association of Food Sciences.
Steaming, grilling, or frying in a pan without oil are also allowed.
The holidays, partly due to restrictions on exit to curb the spread of Covid-19, have also been characterized by a somewhat more sedentary lifestyle.
Another key point is to start or resume physical activity.
A daily walk or run can certainly be helpful in burning excess calories and warding off laziness.
The advice is always to also do physical activity, which is known to increase endorphin levels, which cause a feeling of euphoria and well-being, similar to that provided by sweets and alcohol.
Among the recommendations suggested by the Italian Society of Human Nutrition (SINU) is "to alternate lunches and dinners with a lighter diet following the principles of the Mediterranean diet for the rest of the period, in order to reduce the days dedicated to excess and follow a healthy and balanced diet."
