2023-10-10
Celebrating Double Festivals together, it's essential to visit family and friends, and have gatherings. What are the precautions for dining together during holidays? What should I do after a big meal? The following is a holiday gift for everyone who is dining together. May everyone have a good time eating and having fun! When dining together, whether it's dining at home, going to a restaurant, or traveling, dietary hygiene is a top priority. Everyone should choose clean, hygienic, fresh and regular food. For perishable foods such as overnight dishes and cooked food, it is necessary to first judge whether they have gone bad through appearance, smell, etc. before consuming them. Due to the possibility of parasites and other pathogens in raw food such as sashimi, it is recommended to reduce or avoid consumption. In addition, to reduce the spread of diseases such as Helicobacter pylori, it is recommended to use public spoons and chopsticks during gatherings, and pay attention to hand hygiene. It is inevitable to take a few sips during a holiday dinner, but it is important to drink in moderation as excessive alcohol consumption may cause acute alcoholism. If you are taking antibiotics, avoid drinking alcohol. Antibiotics and alcohol may cause a disulfiram like reaction in the body, with clinical symptoms similar to alcoholism, and in severe cases, even life-threatening. Excessive alcohol consumption may also cause digestive emergencies such as acute pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis. Eat a big meal during a gathering, but be careful to chew and swallow slowly, especially for the elderly. If you accidentally swallow foreign objects such as fish bones, chicken bones, jujube stones, etc., you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. The emergency department will consult with the otolaryngology or digestive department based on the location of the foreign body and perform endoscopic foreign body removal surgery. Do not listen to folk remedies and delay the timing of treatment. Foreign bodies in the digestive tract may cause gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation. If a foreign object punctures the thoracic aorta, delaying treatment may cause rupture of the large artery, which is life-threatening. For the elderly, due to their lower gastrointestinal and dental chewing functions compared to young people, they should have a moderate diet and eat more soft and easily digestible foods during gatherings. Try to eat less food that is difficult to digest, such as rice cakes and rice dumpling. Eating more food may cause food accumulation, or even acute intestinal obstruction. In addition, the elderly with chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes should pay attention to their blood pressure and blood sugar during the festival. When the fluctuation is large, they should adjust their diet in time and pay attention to rest. Common diseases after a big meal: Failure to pay attention to food hygiene during gatherings, eating unclean, fresh, or undercooked food, may lead to acute gastroenteritis. The patient presents with vomiting and diarrhea, and may also be accompanied by abdominal pain and fever. Drinking a large amount of alcohol and consuming greasy food may cause diseases such as acute pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis. Patients may experience abdominal pain, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sometimes accompanied by symptoms such as fever and skin yellowing. Unlike acute gastroenteritis, patients with acute abdomen in the biliary and pancreatic system usually do not experience symptoms of diarrhea, which helps to distinguish between the two types of diseases. In addition, for the elderly, gastrointestinal function is poor, and acute intestinal obstruction may occur after overeating. Especially for elderly people with a history of abdominal surgery and long-term constipation, they should pay more attention. Diet adjustment after a big meal: During holidays, one gains three pounds of weight. In addition to gaining a huge amount of weight, overeating during holidays can also make many people's gastrointestinal tract unable to eat, leading to symptoms of indigestion such as bloating and hiccups. For the sake of our health, we need to undergo 1-2 weeks of dietary adjustment after a big meal, so that gastrointestinal function can return to normal as soon as possible. 1.
