Tet trays with traditional dishes such as banh chung, fatty meat, gio cha, pickled onions... are indispensable dishes during the holiday, but often contain a lot of fat, starch and sugar.
Along with that, the use of alcohol at parties, plus the sedentary habits due to the long holidays, all can cause many health problems.
An unbalanced diet can easily lead to weight gain, increased bad cholesterol (LDL), increased blood triglycerides, and even cause diseases such as fatty liver, diabetes, or metabolic disorders.
In particular, excessive alcohol consumption can increase the metabolic and detoxification burden on the liver, leading to liver cell damage such as increased liver enzymes, hepatitis, and adversely affecting cardiovascular function and the digestive system.
In addition, a sedentary lifestyle during Tet, such as sitting watching TV, playing cards, or resting for long periods, causes excess energy to be converted into fat, especially visceral fat. This not only leads to weight gain but also reduces blood circulation, causes muscle loss and increases the risk of chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis.
In addition, the habit of staying up late or not getting enough sleep during Tet also disrupts the biological rhythm, affects hormones in the body (such as cortisol), reduces resistance and concentration. These problems often do not have obvious immediate manifestations but silently affect health over a long period of time.
After the Tet holiday, regular health check-ups are extremely important to ensure that your body is always in the best condition. This is not only a way to help you assess your overall health status, but also helps detect abnormalities early, thereby having timely treatment measures. Regular health check-ups also help you build a long-term health care plan and ensure a healthy new year.
When having regular health check-ups, especially after Tet, you need to pay attention to the following groups of tests: Blood lipids: Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and triglycerides are important tests to assess blood lipid status. A high-fat diet during Tet can increase cholesterol and the risk of atherosclerosis.
Blood sugar (Glucose, HbA1c): Measuring blood sugar levels will help detect diabetes risk early. Especially if you consume a lot of candy and soft drinks during Tet, checking blood sugar becomes even more important.
Uric acid: Uric acid test helps detect the risk of gout, especially when you consume a lot of red meat, seafood and beer and alcohol during Tet.
The liver is an organ that is directly affected by alcohol consumption and a high-fat diet. Indicators to check include: ALT, AST (liver enzymes): Increased liver enzymes can be a sign of hepatitis or liver damage caused by alcohol and a high-fat diet.
GGT: This index often increases when the liver is damaged by alcohol or has bile obstruction.
Bilirubin: Bilirubin test helps evaluate the liver's excretion capacity, determining liver health status.
A salty diet and consuming a lot of processed foods during Tet can cause kidney damage. Indicators to check include: Creatinine, Urea: Assess the level of kidney filtration to detect early signs of kidney failure.
Electrolyte test (Na+, K+, Cl-): Detects water and electrolyte disorders, helps check kidney condition and overall health.
In addition, people should also have an abdominal ultrasound: Helps detect abnormalities in the liver (fatty liver), gallbladder (gallstones) or kidneys.
Urine test: Checks for urinary tract infection, dehydration, or kidney disease.
Thyroid function test (TSH, FT4): Assess thyroid status, especially important for people with irregular diets during Tet.
After the Tet holiday, returning to a healthy diet and scientific living habits is essential to protect long-term health.
Regular health check-ups help you proactively control your health, detect abnormalities early and make timely adjustments. Make it a habit to have regular health check-ups and maintain a balanced lifestyle to start the new year with a healthy and energetic body.
