Every meal is hot pot or barbecue \(^o^)/~ Every night is spent binge-watching TV (*^__^*) Sitting for long hours and scrolling through the phone O(∩_∩)O~~ My schedule is all over the place...
After a brief period of happiness, do you always feel exhausted and listless, sleepy at work? (o_ _)ノ Your stomach is bloated and you have acid reflux, with no appetite for anything. (╯﹏╰)╭ Your weight has quietly increased a few pounds, and you get out of breath easily and feel lazy. (￣Д ￣)┍
Don't try to tough it out! This is not just a case of "post-holiday syndrome". Your body might be telling you it's time for a "check-up"! \(^o^)/YES!
The 7-14 days after the holiday are the golden period for the body to eliminate hidden dangers and recover. Only through timely screening and scientific maintenance can minor discomforts be avoided from escalating into major troubles.
The following is a post-holiday health screening guide
Please find attached
I. Basic and necessary screenings | Quickly assess your overall health status
No matter how healthy you are in daily life, these basic screenings after the holiday are essential. They can quickly assess your basic physical condition and identify common potential health issues.
Key populations: those who stay up late for a long time and drink excessively should be alert to high blood pressure and avoid cardiovascular discomforts such as dizziness and chest tightness.
✅ Basic physical examination: Focus on measuring height, weight, blood pressure, and heart rate, and compare the data with that before the holiday to see if there is a sudden increase in weight or fluctuations in blood pressure.
✅ Blood routine test: It can screen for issues such as anemia and inflammation. After the holiday, eating disorderly and overeating can easily lead to a decline in immunity, and blood routine test can timely detect "sub-health signals".
✅ Liver function + kidney function: Excessive drinking during holidays can damage the liver, while a high-protein and high-purine diet can exacerbate the burden on the kidneys. These two tests can quickly screen for liver and kidney function damage, enabling early detection and intervention to prevent minor issues from worsening.
Different groups of people have varying physical burdens after the holiday. Increasing specialized screenings as needed and precisely protecting vulnerable areas is more efficient than blindly conducting examinations!
II. Special screening for key populations | Targeted investigation
Different groups of people have varying physical burdens after the holiday, so it is necessary to increase targeted screening items and focus on protecting vulnerable areas.
▶ Additional tests: gastroscopy/colonoscopy (selected as needed), Helicobacter pylori testing
Reminder: During the holidays, consuming cold and raw foods, as well as overeating, can easily induce acute gastroenteritis. It may also trigger gastritis and gastric ulcer, often accompanied by intestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and changes in stool consistency (such as loose stools or watery stools). Helicobacter pylori, known as the "invisible killer" of gastrointestinal diseases, may also exacerbate discomfort. Timely screening is essential for symptomatic treatment.
Individuals with gastrointestinal discomfort (acid reflux, flatulence, stomach pain, abdominal pain, diarrhea)
▶ Additional tests: blood lipids, blood glucose, abdominal ultrasound
Reminder: A diet high in oil and sugar combined with prolonged sitting can easily lead to elevated blood lipids and abnormal blood sugar levels. Abdominal ultrasound can screen for conditions such as fatty liver, acute pancreatitis, and cholecystitis. It is a must for obese individuals!
People who are sedentary and have seen a significant weight gain (weight increase of 3 pounds or more, sitting for over 8 hours)
▶ Additional tests: thyroid function test, electrocardiogram (ECG)
Reminder: Staying up late can damage qi and blood, disrupt endocrine, and potentially lead to thyroid dysfunction. An electrocardiogram can help screen for potential issues such as myocardial ischemia, and quickly alleviate feelings of fatigue.
People who stay up late and feel fatigued and exhausted (average daily sleep <6 hours, feeling listless and drained)
Screening is the premise, but conditioning is the key! Based on the screening results, follow these three points to help your body quickly return to its optimal state
III. Post-screening conditioning tips | Quickly replenish energy effortlessly
Health screening is not the end, scientific conditioning is the key. After screening, you can follow these three points based on the results to help your body quickly recover:
Maintain a light diet: Reduce consumption of oily, spicy, and high-sugar foods, and increase intake of vegetables, fruits, and high-quality proteins (such as eggs, lean meat, and soy products). Drink at least 1500ml of warm water daily to promote metabolism and reduce the burden on the internal organs.
Regular routine: Refuse to stay up late and catch up on sleep. Ensure 7-8 hours of sleep every day, gradually returning to the pre-holiday routine (such as falling asleep before 23:00), so that endocrine and organ functions can return to normal.
Moderate exercise: Start with mild exercise (such as walking, yoga, and jogging) for 20-30 minutes a day, gradually increasing intensity. This will help burn excess calories, enhance immunity, and alleviate post-holiday fatigue.
Indulging during the holidays is a reward for life; taking care of oneself after the holidays is being responsible for one's health.
Don't be anxious about feeling unwell after the holiday, and don't overlook those "minor" symptoms. By promptly undergoing health screenings and adopting scientific self-care practices, you can quickly regain your vitality and enter the new year's work and life in top form
Last reminder: Save this guide and share it with your family and friends. Let's give our bodies a "comprehensive overhaul" together and stay away from post-holiday discomfort!
