No need to set a goal - definitely try all the New Year dishes and salads. Put on the plate as much as you can eat, but not the whole meal from the festive table. This was stated by NEWS.am Medicine Gastroenterologist of the University Hospital number 1 Srbuhi Tarkhanyan.

According to her, when it comes to the life of the product, there is no specific fixed figure to specify exactly: for example, after 7 days all products deteriorate. It all depends on what kind of a product it is. For example, boiled egg cannot be stored for more than one day, boiled whole meat can be stored for a week, but if it is chopped and boiled, then in this case there is a perfect breeding ground for germs.

According to a gastroenterologist, a dish from perishable products should be prepared in such a quantity that within 24 hours it was all eaten, otherwise the risk of gastric disease increases.Such a «capricious» New Year dish is everyone's favorite salad Olivier, which has eggs, boiled meat, pickles, that the next day of storage can be spoiled.

Tarkhanyan does not advice to cook pancakes a week prior to New Year, you better do that 31st of December. But if the housewife is short of time, she should store the pancakes in the freezer, but not in the refrigerator. «Any preparations are advised to keep in the fridge separately, and when you want to bring to the table, then mix them», stressed Tarkhanyan, adding, that even ham you better buy in such quantities, that it is consumed within one day, otherwise within a few days it will become rancid. "Celebration does not mean gluttony. You should rejoice spiritually, and not overeating at the table, " said the doctor.

If, anyhow, you have already been intoxicated at New Year feast, it is necessary to do stomach wash, drink plenty of fluids, and induce vomiting. In this case two liters of water with soda is needed. But, it is better to see doctor, especially when the intoxication is accompanied with diarrhea and blood in the stool. In case of diarrhea you must not stop it with unknown tablets, because diarrhea is natural protective function of the body, by which the body tries to excrete all, that is unnecessary and toxic. If diarrhea lasts more than 3-4 days, you have to turn to a specialist who will prescribe appropriate medication.

«If one cannot be sated, then it is a problem rooted in a difficult childhood "said the doctor, adding, that time has come to stop putting such an enormous quantity of dishes on the table and compete with each other «whose new year table is richer». You should cook in moderate quantities and eat, but not overeat. People, who have stomach problems, especially should consider diet, assigned by a gastroenterologist. You better not drink water while eating, so, that the stomach could correctly digest the food in due time.

«Eat what our ancestors ate. No need of overeating exotic dishes», noted Tarkhanyan, telling, that New Year is not a reason to surprise someone with the presence of obscure animals on the table.
