On Tet, don't...eat too much, but wish each other good health.

The old saying goes: "Illness comes from the mouth, trouble comes from the mouth", meaning illness is often caused by what we eat and drink, and trouble is often caused by the wrong words we say.

Children eating nuts should be careful not to choke.

For children, Tet holidays are truly a festival. Children eat many kinds of cakes, jams, pickles, and drink soft drinks everywhere. This is also a good opportunity for many germs to enter the body, causing children to have acute diarrhea, or even worse, food poisoning.

Tet is also an occasion for children to eat too much protein-rich foods such as meat, sausages, spring rolls, and sausages, but eat little vegetables and drink enough water, which can easily lead to constipation. Therefore, parents need to pay attention to their children's food hygiene. Children need to be supplemented with yogurt containing probiotics to help the digestive system work better.

More dangerously, children are at risk of foreign bodies in the airways due to carelessness when eating watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanuts, hard candy, and jelly. When children have foreign bodies in the airways, they will suddenly cough, have difficulty breathing, and have a purple face. This is a very dangerous accident for children's lives.

To prevent disease, adults must always keep an eye on children. When children show symptoms of choking on foreign objects, they must immediately perform back blows and chest thrusts or transfer them to the nearest medical facility. Absolutely avoid using your hands to poke the child's throat as this may push the foreign object deeper.

Happy spring, stomach also needs rest

For adults, the end of the year is a time for parties, such as the company's year-end party, the year-end party at the family and friends' houses. On Tet holiday, there is a New Year's party, people toast each other with alcohol and rich traditional Tet dishes such as banh chung, braised pork, sausage, various types of spring rolls and sausages along with trays of cakes and jams containing a lot of sugar and starch.

Eat and drink in moderation to stay healthy after Tet

When we eat more and take in more nutrients, the stomach will have to secrete more gastric juice to help digest all these things. This makes the stomach not have time to rest and not be able to maintain a regular working routine.

Many people also eat too much, especially at night, when the stomach's "fighting" ability is weakest during the day, and it is also the time when the stomach needs to rest more than work; especially when accompanied by drinking a lot of alcohol, when going to bed, the muscles will relax more than when not drinking alcohol. Among them, there is the lower esophageal sphincter, the muscle that prevents the juice and food in the stomach from flowing back into the esophagus; once this muscle relaxes more than normal, it will cause gastric juice to flow back into the esophagus, throat, larynx and cause inflammation of the mucosa in these areas. So the next morning, many people will become "candidates" for pharyngitis. They will feel a dry throat and sore throat; the throat will become dull, dry, often feeling like there is phlegm in the throat, or feeling difficult to swallow or something stuck in the throat. After Tet, they will have to go to the doctor for fear of cancer.

In addition, excessive drinking and eating can also cause other diseases such as acute pancreatitis, due to drinking too much alcohol and eating too much nutrition; frequent vomiting causes bleeding in the esophageal mucosa; eating too much fat causes high blood fat, lipid disorders. And there are also many cases of stroke due to drinking too much alcohol or traffic accidents due to drunkenness.

Enjoy the spring, but remember to eat and drink properly and moderately, keep yourself and those around you healthy, do not force each other to drink beer or wine, this way of expressing "affection" often has the opposite effect; especially when drinking too much, "the wine goes in, the words come out". We should spend more time asking about and caring for each other, sharing and encouraging each other to have a new year with more health and success.
