Overview
- Doctors warn that sustained festive overeating and alcohol use can cause acute indigestion, reflux and gastritis, and over time contribute to fatty liver.
- Preventive steps highlighted include steady hydration in hot weather, the healthy‑plate method (half vegetables, a quarter protein, a quarter grains), small portions and avoiding compensatory fasting.
- Clinicians advise against preventive self‑medication such as omeprazole, urging lighter meals between events, slower eating and mindful choices to reduce binge–guilt cycles.
- People with diabetes are urged to plan menus and carbohydrate portions, keep usual meal times, continue medication and glucose checks, and limit alcohol with food to avoid decompensation.
- Safety guidance stresses eating before drinking, alternating alcohol with water and not driving after consumption, while San Salvador de Jujuy is enforcing its ban on noisy fireworks with inspections and a complaint line.
