Holiday Aftertaste. How to Get Back on Track After the New Year?
With the end of the long-awaited New Year holidays, many begin to feel anxious about the first working day. The transition from joyful leisure to a routine schedule can be a real stressor. But is there a way to make this process less painful and return to work with renewed energy?

24.kg reached out to cardiologist Samara Sulaymanova to find out how to smoothly return to an active life and avoid negative impacts on health.

According to the specialist, many underestimate the consequences of late bedtimes, overeating, lack of physical activity, and emotional stress, which can negatively affect well-being. Therefore, it is advisable to gradually return to the usual rhythm of life to give the body time to recover.

Samara Sulaymanova advises starting with normalizing the sleep schedule. Often, a disruption in this process becomes the cause of lethargy, irritability, and blood pressure problems.
The doctor recommends sticking to a consistent time for sleeping and waking, avoiding heavy meals for dinner, and ensuring proper ventilation of the room before sleep.
“In the first few days, it may be difficult to fall asleep,” she notes, “but the nervous system quickly adapts, and soon the condition will improve.”

Don’t forget about physical activity either. A sudden shift to intense workouts after the holidays may not be the best solution. The doctor recommends starting with light exercises, such as morning warm-ups and leisurely walks, to gradually activate the muscles and speed up metabolism.
Moderate walking is an excellent choice for people of any age and is recommended for those suffering from cardiovascular or endocrine diseases.
Additionally, Sulaymanova emphasizes the importance of proper nutrition. Extreme diets after the holidays are a common mistake. The stress from changing routines and strict restrictions can lead to even greater discomfort. Instead, it’s advisable to increase the intake of warm, clean water and reduce the amount of fatty and fried foods, as well as temporarily abstain from alcohol.
Incorporating fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, and lean protein into the diet will help gradually restore the digestive system's function.
She also warns against getting carried away with trendy “detox programs”: “Fasting days can only be beneficial for those who approach this with consideration of their health.”

Sulaymanova recommends coordinating such dietary changes with a doctor, especially for people with chronic illnesses.
The most important thing is to listen carefully to your body.
According to the doctor, January is an excellent opportunity for a gradual return to a healthy lifestyle: restoring sleep patterns, proper nutrition, and physical activity.

“Holidays are a joy,” she says. “But it’s equally important to take care of yourself afterward. Establishing a good routine at the beginning of January can set a positive tone for the entire year.”
