Drink enough water during the day
Getting enough water helps stimulate metabolism and supports detoxification. Drinking water regularly also helps limit cravings for snacks, especially in the early days of returning to work.
Limit starch
In the early days of returning to work, reducing carbohydrates is a priority. Each day, just maintain one to two meals with carbohydrates, and choose a good source of carbohydrates and eat in moderation so that the body gradually adapts.
Portion control
Besides choosing the right food, eating the right amount is also very important. You should eat slowly, chew thoroughly and avoid overeating to make the digestive system work more effectively.
Stabilize electrolytes, eliminate excess water
After Tet, the body often stores water due to eating salty foods and using a lot of alcoholic beverages. Supporting electrolyte balance will help the body quickly eliminate excess water, thereby reducing feelings of heavyness and edema.
Supplementing potassium from natural foods
Foods rich in potassium such as bananas, avocados, and celery should be added to the daily menu. This mineral helps regulate fluids in the body and supports improving swelling after days of excess eating.
Limit sweets and processed foods
Reducing consumption of confectionery, soft drinks and greasy foods will help limit excess fat accumulation, while supporting the process of regaining figure after the vacation.
Increase light exercise
You don't need to do high-intensity exercise right after Tet, you can start by walking, stretching, or doing light exercises every day. Maintaining this habit helps the body burn energy better and reduce feelings of stagnation.
Re-adjusting circadian rhythm
Early re-establishing sleep and rest hours, eating properly will help the body escape from a sluggish and stressful state after Tet, creating a favorable foundation for the weight control process.
