Health Experts Lay Out Holiday Eating and Drinking Guidance

Health professionals stress harm‑reduction habits that limit festive‑season digestive flare‑ups.

Overview

  • Clinicians warn that days of heavy meals and repeated drinks can trigger gastritis, reflux and even fatty liver, urging moderation at late‑night gatherings and advising to eat before drinking and alternate alcohol with water.
  • Nutrition guidance emphasizes small portions and the healthy‑plate model—half vegetables, one‑quarter protein, one‑quarter whole grains—supported by steady hydration and produce‑forward menus.
  • Food‑safety advice includes planning fresh, home‑prepared dishes, separating raw from cooked foods, keeping refrigeration below 5°C and cooking or reheating to at least 65°C to prevent illness.
  • Specialists recommend maintaining routine on non‑celebration days instead of fasting, avoiding self‑medication such as prophylactic omeprazole, and staying physically active to blunt carryover effects.
  • San Salvador de Jujuy authorities reiterate enforcement of the city’s Free of Loud Pyrotechnics ordinance to protect vulnerable people and animals, with inspections and a hotline for complaints.
