What to do to avoid indigestion during the celebration: have 2 fruits

This year, St. John’s Day will be celebrated in the middle of the week, so several people are likely to go on vacation and celebrate more, according to the press release. According to Kęstutis Beržinis, a pharmacist at Gintarinės vaistinė, if the celebration of St. John’s Day lasts more than a day, the preparation must be exhaustive and responsible. “After giving in to various temptations hidden in food or drinks, the consequences can be worries, not great emotions. I would like as many people as possible to realize that a celebration can be fun without overeating and consuming strong alcoholic beverages As far as I know, Joniniai participants who have tried strong drinks have never found a fern ring, ”smiles the pharmacist.

To avoid digestive problems, eat kiwis or pineapple.

According to K. Beržinis, in previous years after St. John’s Day, people who visited the pharmacy often complained of indigestion, nausea or vomiting and blamed it on dirty hands. This year, according to the pharmacist, during the quarantine we learned to wash and disinfect our hands thoroughly, almost all carry a bottle of disinfectant with them, so you should not forget hand hygiene during Jonines. In addition, cross contamination during cooking should be avoided: cut raw meat for steaks, vegetables and bacon on the same table.

For those who want to take care of their digestive system beforehand, the pharmacist advises trying to replace the enzymes used in the form of tablets or capsules with fruit. “Of course, the effects of the medications are stronger and sometimes faster, but if you don’t have them, eat kiwi or pineapple for dessert. These are excellent antioxidants, a source of fiber, and are rich in natural digestive aids to help you avoid consuming a lot of food. And if you drank tea, for example, wormwood or other bitter tea before a meal, your gut would really appreciate it, “says K. Beržinis.

He notes that many people these days suffer from increased heartburn or reflux, and sometimes even take medications to improve the stomach and reduce acid before meals. Here’s another danger: When there is less acid in the stomach, it is easier for various bad bacteria, including helminths (parasitic worms), to enter the intestine from the environment and survive. “Bacterial intestinal infections, such as salmonellosis, campylobacteriosis, yersiniosis, are more common in the summer, and the use of antacids only increases the risk of developing them. Children should be especially careful, because their heartburn is naturally lower “Advises the pharmacist.

Mites and allergies lurked in the grasslands.

There are people for whom knitting ionic crowns or walking in blooming meadows does not give pleasure, but it causes allergies, which, according to the pharmacist, is the scourge of our time. We usually know who we are sensitive to, but sometimes cross allergies also occur. For example, if a person is sensitive to blooming timothy now, peaches, watermelons, oranges, tomatoes, or green potatoes can also cause a sore throat, oral mucosa, or skin rash. “If you are allergic to hard pollen, then bobramuna, chamomile, pimples will also cause allergic reactions, and sweet peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, anise, garlic, onions, and fennel can” bite “The feast”. Therefore, don’t forget your allergy medicine when you go to nature, “says the pharmacist.

List the plants with which it is best not to treat not only people with allergies, but also any of us. These are poisonous plants that can cause serious damage to the body: scallops, batons, werewolves, lily of the valley, blue shoes. For those who do not know what these plants are like, K. Beržinis advises to search for information on the Internet and remember which plants should not be cut and woven into crowns. He is especially careful with Sosnovsky’s borscht, that even a drop of juice can cause deep and lasting burns if it comes in contact with the skin.

For those celebrating, the pharmacist advises putting repellents that repel blood-sucking insects and ticks in the bag. He urges those who have not yet done so to get vaccinated against tick-borne diseases. “Of course, Joniniai vaccines won’t work until this year, but it will be insured in the future. Ticks have recently moved to cities and backyards, so you really don’t have to wade through uncut meadows that reach your waist to the mite soaking wet. They pose a real risk of extremely dangerous Lyme disease or tick-borne encephalitis. I can’t think of any justification why people could afford not to get vaccinated against the latter disease, “advised K. Beržinis , a pharmacist at Gintarin’s vaistinė.
