Many people greet the first day of the New Year with a feeling of heaviness and fatigue after a long festive dinner.
Doctors, nutritionists and cosmetologists agree that a properly structured morning on January 1 can not only quickly restore strength, but also set a positive tone for the whole year.
They presented a step-by-step scenario for a vigorous start.
No “yesterday's salads”
The main rule from experts is to resolutely refuse to eat leftovers from the New Year's table for breakfast, especially salads with mayonnaise.
Finishing Olivier in the morning guarantees heaviness for the whole day, comment cosmetologists. An organism that has experienced “food stress” needs tactful support in the form of light but nutritious nutrition, and not a continuation of the belly-fest or fasting.
Restoring balance and light breakfast
You should start your day not with coffee, but with water. Optimally – 1-2 glasses of plain or warm water with lemon. You can allow a little cucumber pickle without vinegar to restore the salt balance, advises the nutritionist.
Breakfast should be light and come at a time when you really feel hungry. Experts recommend:
- Oatmeal in water with an apple or pear (soluble fiber will gently improve digestion).
- Low-fat chicken broth.
- Natural yogurt, soft-boiled egg, banana.
But it is better to completely exclude fatty, spicy and very sweet foods on this day.
Mandatory walk instead of sofa
The next key point is movement in the fresh air. Doctors are unanimous: this is the best thing you can do for yourself on January 1st.
A 20-40 minute leisurely walk is enough. If you have the strength and opportunity, cross-country skiing is perfect.
At the same time, you should avoid intense training in the gym on the first day of the year – a weakened body does not need additional stress.
Taking care of your appearance and digital detox
Evening care on December 31 directly affects how you look in the morning. It would be optimal to use a mask with ceramides the day before the holiday, and patches with centella and a cold roller in the morning will reduce swelling and dullness of the skin to a minimum.
Experts also recommend detoxing not only for the body, but also for the information field.
It is better to devote January 1 to home SPA rituals: a warm bath, scrub, nourishing care.
Psychologists support this approach: for people with a high workload, a “quiet” scenario with the opportunity to sleep, read or watch a movie alone can be the best recovery and foundation for a productive year.
