Today (February 7), the Spring Festival holiday is over, and everyone has to switch from a pleasant holiday life to a working state, so it is inevitable that there will be a short period of discomfort. Especially white-collar workers who work next to the computer often have symptoms such as dizziness and swelling, sore eyes and so on. This is because everyone has a "holiday syndrome", which is emotionally unstable, coupled with insufficient activity and irregular life.
What is Holiday Syndrome? How do we deal with holiday syndrome?
In this regard, Cai Huizhong, a medical psychiatrist at Jiahui, said in an interview with the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that the holiday syndrome is actually due to the physical changes brought about by the difference in diet and living schedule during the holiday, and at the same time, there will be slight psychological changes near the end of the holiday, which will bring some external symptoms, which are generally more common after a long holiday, and will disappear after 1-2 weeks.
"Eating and drinking on holidays will also bring gastrointestinal disorders, and there may be poor appetite, diarrhea, gastrointestinal discomfort and other conditions in the first few days after returning to work." At the same time, due to the lack of work or school during the holidays, many people will choose to sleep late or stay up late, and the work and rest will be irregular, resulting in poor mental state, fatigue and anxiety after work. In addition, the psychological gap caused by the reluctance to leave the holiday or the return to work after the Spring Festival will also lead to inattention and inefficiency in the first few days after the resumption of work. Dr. Cai Hui said.
"Do" out of the syndrome
Spring Festival, live "too well", the more obvious the holiday syndrome.
Every year during the Spring Festival, for many young people, the most inseparable thing is the mobile phone, which has become a major "weapon" to pass the holiday. From the first day of the Spring Festival holiday to the last day, many people wake up in the morning as a routine every day, the first thing is to fiddle with the mobile phone, from morning to night, to late at night, one or two o'clock in the morning, the mobile phone does not leave his hand, adhering to the creed that the meal can not be eaten, the game can not not be played through the entire Spring Festival holiday.
"Why don't I play with my phone?" During the holidays, countless young people in the face of all the hometowns are always unable to lift their strength. Whenever a relative comes to the door, it feels extremely awkward to say two words, and after only a minute or two of greetings, they can only play with their mobile phones to pretend that they are busy and avoid these unnecessary exchanges. For young people, this holiday is somewhat difficult, fortunately, there are mobile phones.
However, such a situation is somewhat "pathological". Tunan, a young member of the Military Psychology Committee of the Chinese Psychological Association and a special psychological guest of CCTV, once told the 21st Century Business Herald that at present, many people around the world have the same feelings as the above, which is more known as nomophobia (or no mobile phone phobia), which refers to the serious anxiety caused by the inability to use mobile phones.
As a study by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest shows, about three-quarters of young adults experience so-called "transposition behaviors" such as irritability or scratching their ears and cheeks when they leave their smartphones for a short period of time.
Fang Jian, deputy chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, previously told the 21st Century Business Herald that after every holiday, there will always be many patients in his outpatient room who come to see him because of excessive use of mobile phones. At present, many people have suffered from eye diseases caused by excessive use of mobile phones.
"The development of modern life, people use more and more electronic products, more and more people have dry eyes, fatigue, itchy eyes, foreign body sensation, photophobia, sensitivity to external stimuli, pain and other symptoms, serious and even affect vision." In fact, this is all a manifestation of dry eye. Fang Jian said that when dry eye is serious, it will affect people's normal work and life, often use air conditioning and electronic equipment or people who need to use their eyes at work, long-term dry eyes will also lead to many complications, such as corneal damage, vision loss, etc. If dry eyes are not treated for a long time, the symptoms will gradually worsen, and treatment will become more and more difficult.
In addition to eye diseases, gastrointestinal discomfort caused by eating and drinking during the Spring Festival has also become the norm.
During the Spring Festival, in addition to reunions with family members, there are also gatherings between friends, and it is inevitable to eat and drink heavily. However, the consequence of overeating is the high incidence of stomach diseases. According to statistics, the incidence of stomach disease in winter accounts for nearly 50% of the whole year, of which the Spring Festival is the period of high incidence of stomach disease. For example, Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a frequent visitor after the Spring Festival, of which diarrhea is the main manifestation of diarrhea-type irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D), which is the most common type, accounting for about 65% of IBS in the mainland, and the frequency of stools in this type of patient is increased with thin stools, most of which are thin and mushy or even watery stools.
If during the Spring Festival, you ate diarrhea yesterday, ate diarrhea today, and even began to symphonize as soon as you dipped in peppers, then you should be vigilant that you have eaten "too much".
How is holiday syndrome treated?
Staying up late, anxiety, overeating is most likely to occur during the festival, friends or family members push cups to change cups, unconsciously eat more, the gastrointestinal tract is seriously overloaded, not to mention, the weight also rises sharply. In addition, friends get together, hi over the head to the early morning, so, it is really hurting the eyes and stomach, hurting the liver and hurting the brain. So, how do you adjust yourself to the best way to cope with the "start" after the New Year?
Fang Jian introduced that at present, most of the patients with dry eye will be mainly artificial tear drops treatment, but the causes of dry eyes are diverse, and because eye drops also have a variety of functions, plus eye drops can only replenish water and can not supplement lipids, therefore, simple site artificial tears can not alleviate or treat dry eyes.
"The treatment of dry eye should be given according to different types of dry eye or symptomatic treatment, for different types of dry eye, different intervention methods are needed, especially for dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction, hot compresses, meibomian gland massage, etc., not only to improve the lack of water, but also to supplement the lack of lipids." Fang Jian added.
In the maintenance of gastrointestinal system diseases, Dr. Zhang Liyan of the Nutrition Department of Shanghai Eighth People's Hospital said that during the Spring Festival, the diet structure is balanced and pays attention to less fine and more coarse, less meat and more vegetarian. The proportion of each food in the recipe must be balanced. Many people usually have no meat and no joy, and there are good reasons to eat "meat" during the festival, and the lack of intake of relative staple foods and green leafy vegetables often leads to excessive protein and fat. At this time, we must refer to the content of the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents" to ingest food, leave some stomach to eat staple foods, if the coarse grain fine grains and potatoes each account for 1/3 of the structure is more reasonable. Ensure that there are more than 12 kinds of food intake per day, and no less than 25 kinds per week, the more the better.
"Such a diet structure will tend to be balanced, fruits, meat, fish, eggs and milk beans, try to eat some every day, plus vegetables and staple foods 2-3 kinds each, you can ensure 12 kinds of food." You can't always stare at the only few foods you like to eat, and it is easy to deviate. Go out for a big meal, do not like to eat dishes and try to eat a few bites, for a long time, you may be able to accept its taste. Zhang Liyan said.
Of course, if it is only mild vacation syndrome, then these symptoms are temporary and can be alleviated after adjustment. When talking about the specific symptoms of the so-called holiday syndrome, Dr. Cai Hui believes that in the face of holiday syndrome, everyone does not have to worry or nervous, and these symptoms will be alleviated and disappeared within 1-2 weeks after the holiday. After the holidays, lifestyle adjustments can also be made to accelerate symptom relief by:
First, children suggest that in the last few days of the holiday, they can adjust their work and rest in advance, do not do intense exercise before going to bed, and try to go to bed as early as possible.
Second, office workers can make adjustments from diet, work and rest, and mentality. It is recommended that you can come to the company a little earlier when you just start to resume work, adapt to the environment and atmosphere of work, and let yourself go to work as soon as possible.
The third is the elderly, because the holidays of such people should not change much in work and rest, but the Spring Festival to visit relatives and friends, feast relatives will cause a relatively heavy burden on the stomach and intestines, it is recommended that after the Spring Festival can be a light diet for a few days, to the gastrointestinal "burden reduction", while gradually increasing some exercise, such as walking, simple fitness, etc.
