  聖誕節和新年假期臨近,衞生署衞生防護中心(中心)今日(十二月二十四日)提醒市民要注意自己的身體狀況,避免攝取過多酒精、鹽分、糖分和油脂,保持充足的休息和睡眠,以免影響免疫系統正常運作,容易生病。此外,不論是留港或到外地歡度節日亦要時刻注意個人、食物及環境衞生,及早接種季節性流感疫苗,以預防各種在冬季較常見或與旅遊相關的傳染病。

  中心總監徐樂堅醫生說:「市民與親朋好友共聚時容易在不知不覺間攝取過多酒精或高糖飲料、蛋糕甜品、香脆小食(例如薯片和煎炸食物)等。另外,天文台預料未來兩天氣溫下降,不少人可能會享用火鍋,進餐時亦會添加不少高脂高鹽的調味料。我提醒市民在節日氛圍下,要注意控制飲食的分量,盡可能選擇高纖低脂食物(多蔬果、以蒸煮代替煎炸的烹調方式)、減少高糖高鹽飲品及糕點,並注意食物衞生,同時配合適量運動和休息,才能歡度佳節同時保持健康。」

With Christmas and New Year holidays approaching, the Centre for Health Protection (CHP) of the Department of Health (DH) today (December 24) reminded members of the public to pay attention to their health. Individuals should avoid excessive alcohol, salt, sugar and fat intake, and ensure adequate rest and sleep to prevent compromising the normal functioning of the immune system, which could make one more susceptible to illness. Regardless of whether they are staying in Hong Kong or travelling abroad for the holidays, the public should practise strict personal, food and environmental hygiene at all times, and get seasonal influenza vaccination (SIV) early. These measures can help prevent various infectious diseases that are more prevalent in winter or associated with travel.

"During gatherings with family, relatives and friends, people often unknowingly consume excessive amounts of alcohol or sugary drinks, cakes, desserts, and crispy snacks such as potato chips and fried food. Additionally, the Hong Kong Observatory forecasts a drop in temperatures over the next two days, which may lead more people to enjoy hotpot. During hot pot meals, people tend to add substantial amounts of high-fat and high-salt condiments. Amid the festive atmosphere, I would like to remind the public that it is crucial to control the amount of food intake, opt for high-fibre and low-fat food (consuming more fruit and vegetable and choosing steaming or boiling over frying), reduce the consumption of high-sugar and high-salt beverages and pastries, and maintain food hygiene. Get adequate exercise and rest so you can enjoy the holidays while staying healthy," the Controller of the CHP, Dr Edwin Tsui, said.
