Experts Urge Portion Control, Hydration and Food Safety for End‑of‑Year Feasts

Clinicians warn that consecutive festive excesses can trigger gastritis and liver harm, urging routine mindful meals without fasting or self‑medication.

Overview

  • Use the healthy‑plate rule to structure festive meals, serve small portions, eat slowly, and practice mindful eating to curb bingeing.
  • Stay hydrated and reduce alcohol risk by eating beforehand, alternating each drink with water, and designating a sober driver.
  • Prevent foodborne illness by keeping perishables below 5°C, cooking and reheating to at least 65°C, and avoiding cross‑contamination.
  • Avoid compensatory fasting or automedication; keep regular, lighter meals, skip preventive acid suppressants or NSAIDs, and seek medical care for severe symptoms.
  • San Salvador de Jujuy is enforcing its noisy‑fireworks ban to protect people with sensory sensitivities, infants, older adults and animals.
