十一月一到，档期就排满了——公司年终晚宴、部门聚餐、老朋友久别重逢、客户应酬，接着农历年又在前头。一顿接一顿的大鱼大肉、一轮又一轮的酒、宵夜煎炸甜腻不离口，还常常熬到半夜隔天照常上班。短短一两个月，脾胃、肝和作息一起超载，于是胀气、反酸、没胃口、口干上火、隔天头胀疲惫就一个个找上门。要说明白的是：问题几乎从来不是「聚餐喝酒本身」，而是「怎么吃、喝多少、身体在什么状态、有没有连轴撑着」。这篇把应酬季最伤身的几件事拆开讲——护胃解腻、喝酒护肝、熬夜怎么补回来，以及哪些情况该就医。
Come November the calendar fills up — the company annual dinner, department get-togethers, reunions with old friends, client entertaining, and then Chinese New Year up ahead. Rich meal after rich meal, round after round of drinks, late-night fried and sweet snacks, often staying out past midnight and back at work the next morning. In just a month or two the spleen, stomach, liver and your sleep routine are all overloaded — so bloating, reflux, poor appetite, "heatiness," and a heavy, tired head the next day all turn up. The point isn't "no dinners or drinks" — it's how you eat, how much you drink, what state your body is in, and whether you keep running flat out. This piece unpacks what strains you most over the season: easing digestion, looking after the liver when you drink, recovering from late nights, and when something needs a doctor.
Menjelang November, kalendar penuh — jamuan tahunan syarikat, perjumpaan jabatan, pertemuan semula kawan lama, jamuan pelanggan, dan Tahun Baru Cina pula di hadapan. Hidangan berlemak demi hidangan, pusingan demi pusingan minuman, snek goreng dan manis lewat malam, selalunya keluar hingga lewat malam dan kembali bekerja esok pagi. Dalam sebulan dua, limpa, perut, hati dan rutin tidur semuanya terbeban — maka kembung, refluks, hilang selera, "panas dalam", dan kepala berat serta letih keesokannya semua muncul. Intinya bukan "tiada jamuan atau minuman" — tetapi cara makan, kuantiti minum, keadaan badan, dan sama ada anda terus memacu tanpa henti. Artikel ini menghurai apa yang paling membebankan sepanjang musim: membantu penghadaman, menjaga hati ketika minum, pulih daripada berjaga malam, dan bila perlu jumpa doktor.
顾好肠胃和肝，关键不在「戒」，在别连轴超载
The Key Isn't Abstaining — It's Not Overloading Day After Day
Kuncinya Bukan Berpantang — Tetapi Tidak Terbeban Setiap Hari
身体本来有很好的调节能力，偶尔一顿大餐、晚睡一晚、喝几杯，多数人休息一下就恢复了。应酬季真正的问题，是「连着好几天甚至好几周」都在超载：顿顿油腻、天天有局、酒一场接一场、宵夜不停口、还睡不够。脾胃一直在加班运化、肝忙着代谢酒精、作息又乱，身体来不及回血，症状就一个个冒出来。
The body regulates itself well — an occasional big meal, one late night, a few drinks, and most people bounce back after some rest. The real trouble in the feasting season is being overloaded for days, even weeks, on end: greasy meal after greasy meal, an event every night, one drinking session after another, non-stop late snacks, and never enough sleep. The spleen and stomach work overtime on digestion, the liver is busy processing alcohol, sleep is all over the place — and the body never gets to recover, so the symptoms pile up.
Badan mengawal dirinya dengan baik — sekali-sekala makan besar, satu malam lewat, beberapa minuman, kebanyakan orang pulih selepas berehat. Masalah sebenar musim jamuan ialah terbeban berhari-hari, malah berminggu-minggu: hidangan berlemak demi hidangan, acara setiap malam, sesi minum demi sesi, snek lewat tanpa henti, dan tidur tidak cukup. Limpa dan perut bekerja lebih masa, hati sibuk memproses alkohol, tidur berselerak — dan badan tidak sempat pulih.
该聚该喝就去，但别让身体「连轴超载」。给脾胃留点余地、给作息留点空档、酒少一点、水多一点，档期就过得开心也过得舒服。
Go to the dinners, have the drinks — just don't run your body flat out for weeks. Leave your digestion some room, your sleep some gaps, less alcohol, more water, and you can get through the season both merry and comfortable.
Pergi ke jamuan, minum sedikit — cuma jangan pacu badan tanpa henti berminggu-minggu. Beri penghadaman sedikit ruang, tidur sedikit rehat, kurang arak, lebih air, dan anda boleh lalui musim ini dengan meriah sekaligus selesa.
聚餐与应酬：护胃解腻、喝酒别猛灌
Dinners & Toasts: Ease Digestion, Go Easy on Alcohol
Jamuan & Ucap Selamat: Bantu Penghadaman, Kurangkan Arak
年底饭局多是浓油厚味，一顿吃到撑，脾胃一时运化不来就腻、胀、隔天没胃口。诀窍是先夹菜和蛋白、留点肚子、七八分饱就停；吃多了别马上躺，起身走动、喝杯无糖热茶（普洱、乌龙、山楂）帮助消化。常常饭后胀气的，可参考饭后胃胀那篇的健脾消食思路。
Year-end tables run to rich, heavy dishes; eat to bursting and the spleen-stomach can't keep up — hence the cloying, bloating and poor appetite the next day. The trick is vegetables and protein first, leave some room, stop at 70–80% full; if you overdo it, don't lie down — get up and move, sip unsweetened hot tea (pu-erh, oolong, hawthorn). If you often bloat after meals, see the spleen-supporting approach in our bloating piece.
Meja hujung tahun penuh hidangan berat; makan sampai terlalu kenyang dan limpa-perut tak mampu — lalu muak, kembung dan hilang selera keesokannya. Rahsianya sayur dan protein dahulu, tinggalkan sedikit ruang, berhenti pada 70–80% kenyang; jika berlebihan, jangan baring — bangun bergerak, minum teh panas tanpa gula. Jika kerap kembung selepas makan, lihat artikel kembung.
应酬的酒一场接一场，中医看酒性湿热，喝多既伤肝也困脾，隔天头胀、口苦、胃不适、疲惫。能少喝就少喝；真要喝，先垫点东西别空腹，喝慢一点、多喝温水，别混着多种酒。别信「猛喝水／浓茶就能解酒」——那顶多帮一点，真正靠的是量少、间隔够、让身体慢慢代谢。开车不喝酒，这是底线。
Festive rounds come one after another. In TCM, alcohol is damp and warm — too much taxes the liver and dulls the spleen, leaving a heavy head, bitter mouth, upset stomach and fatigue the next day. Drink less where you can; if you drink, eat first (not on an empty stomach), go slow, sip warm water, and don't mix drinks. Don't count on "chugging water or strong tea to sober up" — that helps only a little; what matters is less alcohol, spaced out, letting the body clear it slowly. Never drink and drive — that's the line.
Pusingan perayaan datang bertalu-talu. Dalam TCM, arak bersifat lembap dan panas — terlalu banyak membebankan hati dan melemahkan limpa, meninggalkan kepala berat, mulut pahit, perut tak selesa dan letih keesokannya. Minum kurang; jika minum, makan dahulu, perlahan-lahan, minum air suam, jangan campur. Jangan harap "minum air banyak boleh sedar" — yang penting kurang arak dan jarak masa cukup. Jangan sekali-kali minum dan memandu.
应酬后的宵夜、甜点、炸物又油又甜，一边聊天一边不知不觉吃一堆，最容易上火——咽干、口疮、长痘、便秘。这类偏甜偏油的东西吃多了助湿化热（延伸：上火／热气篇）。对策很简单：分小份、别整盘放手边、多补水和蔬菜水果，煎炸类浅尝即止。
Post-dinner suppers, desserts and fried bites are oily and sweet at once; chatting away, you put away a pile without noticing — the fast track to "heatiness": dry throat, mouth ulcers, breakouts, constipation. These sweet, oily foods feed damp-heat when overeaten (further reading: our heatiness piece). The fix is simple: small portions, don't keep the whole plate at your elbow, top up water and fruit-and-veg, and keep fried snacks to a taste.
Supper selepas jamuan, pencuci mulut dan gorengan berminyak dan manis sekaligus; sambil berbual, anda habiskan banyak tanpa sedar — jalan pintas ke "panas dalam": tekak kering, ulser, jerawat, sembelit. Makanan manis-berminyak ini menambah lembap-panas bila berlebihan (bacaan lanjut: artikel panas dalam). Penyelesaiannya mudah: bahagian kecil, jangan letak sepinggan di sisi, tambah air dan sayur-buah.
这里要补一句常被搞混的：不是所有「不舒服」都该猛灌凉茶降火。如果你的问题其实是脾胃积滞——吃一点就胀、腻、没胃口、舌苔厚——凉茶偏寒，灌下去反而更伤脾胃、更没胃口。分不清是「积滞」还是「上火」，让中医看看最稳妥。
One common mix-up worth flagging: not every "off" feeling calls for cooling tea. If your real problem is food stagnation — bloating on a little food, heaviness, poor appetite, a thick tongue coat — cooling tea is cold in nature and only burdens the spleen-stomach further. If you can't tell food stagnation from "heatiness," it's safest to let a practitioner take a look.
Satu salah faham yang patut disebut: bukan setiap rasa "tak sedap" perlu teh sejuk. Jika masalah sebenar anda ialah senak — kembung walau makan sedikit, berat, hilang selera, lidah bersalut tebal — teh sejuk bersifat sejuk dan hanya membebankan limpa-perut. Jika anda tidak dapat bezakan senak daripada "panas dalam", paling selamat biar pengamal menilai.
应酬熬到半夜，隔天怎么补回来？
Out Till Midnight — How to Recover the Next Day
Keluar Hingga Lewat Malam — Cara Pulih Keesokannya
应酬、聚会、唱 K，年底很难不熬夜。中医看熬夜耗的是「气」和「阴」——熬完隔天容易口干、眼干、心烦、疲惫、精神差，这是气阴两耗的表现。偶尔一晚，补个觉、白天小睡二三十分钟、饮食清淡、多喝温水就能缓过来；怕的是连着好几晚应酬到半夜又照常上班，那样恢复起来就慢了。
Dinners, parties, karaoke — it's hard not to stay up at year-end. In TCM, late nights drain qi and yin: the next day brings a dry mouth, dry eyes, restlessness, fatigue and dullness — signs of qi-and-yin depletion. One late night now and then recovers with catch-up sleep, a 20–30 minute daytime nap, light food and plenty of warm water; the problem is several nights out past midnight followed by a normal workday, which take much longer to bounce back from.
Jamuan, parti, karaoke — sukar untuk tidak berjaga pada hujung tahun. Dalam TCM, berjaga menyusutkan qi dan yin: keesokannya mulut kering, mata kering, resah, letih dan lesu — tanda susut qi dan yin. Satu malam sekali-sekala pulih dengan tidur ganti, tidur sebentar 20–30 minit, makanan ringan dan banyak air suam; masalahnya beberapa malam keluar hingga lewat malam diikuti hari kerja biasa.
想温和补一补，可以用一些养阴生津、安神的平和食材，比如麦冬、百合、莲子、银耳煮点甜汤（少糖），或菊花枸杞泡水，帮助缓解熬夜后的干和燥。真正的关键还是尽早把作息拉回正常——别一晚熬完隔天又接着熬，身体没有回血的机会。
To ease back gently, use mild yin-nourishing, calming foods — maidong (ophiopogon), lily bulb, lotus seed or snow fungus in a lightly sweetened soup, or chrysanthemum-and-goji tea — to soften the post-late-night dryness. The real key is still to pull your routine back to normal early: don't burn one night and then burn the next, or the body never gets to recover.
Untuk pulih dengan lembut, guna makanan menyuburkan yin yang lembut — maidong, umbi teratai, biji teratai atau cendawan salji dalam sup manis ringan, atau teh krisantemum-goji — untuk melembutkan kekeringan selepas berjaga. Kunci sebenar tetap menarik rutin kembali normal awal: jangan berjaga satu malam lalu berjaga lagi.
撑不过去的时候，中医帮你调什么
When It's Too Much, What TCM Can Adjust
Bila Terlalu Berat, Apa TCM Boleh Laraskan
如果档期还没过完，你已经天天胀、反酸、没胃口、口气重、疲惫、睡不好，光靠「下一餐清淡」救不回来，这时中医可以按你的状况辨证调理。常见方向是消食和胃（化解积滞）、疏肝解郁（应酬压力、喝酒伤肝的那口气顺一顺）、清利湿热（口苦、口气、长痘、便秘那一类）、以及健脾（把运化能力补回来）。诊室主要用科学中药颗粒，必要时配合针灸。好转通常是三个方向一起看：不舒服的程度变轻、发作次数变少、每次持续的时间变短。
If the season isn't over and you're already bloated daily, refluxing, off your food, bad-breathed, tired and sleeping poorly, "a lighter next meal" won't claw it back — this is where a practitioner can treat by pattern. Common directions are resolving food stagnation, soothing liver-qi stagnation (easing the pent-up feeling of entertaining stress and alcohol on the liver), clearing damp-heat (the bitter mouth, bad breath, breakouts and constipation type), and strengthening the spleen (rebuilding digestive capacity). The clinic mainly uses concentrated herbal granules, with acupuncture where useful. Improvement is read on three fronts together: the discomfort eases in severity, happens less often, and each bout lasts a shorter time.
Jika musim belum tamat dan anda sudah kembung setiap hari, refluks, hilang selera, nafas berbau, letih dan tidur teruk, "hidangan seterusnya lebih ringan" tidak cukup — di sinilah pengamal boleh merawat mengikut corak. Arah lazim ialah meleraikan senak, melegakan qi hati tersekat (meredakan tekanan jamuan dan kesan arak pada hati), membersihkan lembap-panas (jenis mulut pahit, nafas berbau, jerawat dan sembelit), dan menguatkan limpa. Klinik terutamanya menggunakan granul herba tertumpu, dengan akupunktur bila berguna. Penambahbaikan dibaca pada tiga sudut: keterukan berkurang, kekerapan berkurang, dan setiap serangan lebih singkat.
- 这几种情况，建议中西医一起看：长期反酸、烧心、吞咽不顺，或体重不明原因下降——先做检查（如胃镜）厘清，中医可以同时帮你调理脾胃；长期应酬、已验出脂肪肝或肝指数偏高——靠生活调整＋西医定期追踪，中医同步疏肝健脾。 See both TCM and a doctor for these: long-standing reflux, heartburn or difficulty swallowing, or unexplained weight loss — get checked (e.g. a gastroscopy) to clarify, while TCM supports your digestion alongside; long-term entertaining with a fatty liver or raised liver enzymes already found — lifestyle change plus regular medical follow-up, with TCM soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen in parallel. Jumpa TCM dan doktor untuk keadaan ini: refluks lama, pedih ulu hati atau sukar menelan, atau penurunan berat tanpa sebab — buat pemeriksaan (cth. gastroskopi) untuk jelaskan, sementara TCM menyokong penghadaman; jamuan jangka panjang dengan hati berlemak atau enzim hati tinggi — perubahan gaya hidup dengan susulan perubatan berkala, dan TCM melegakan hati serta menguatkan limpa seiring.
- 这几项必须立刻就医、不要等：右上腹持续剧痛、皮肤或眼白发黄（黄疸）、呕血或解黑便——这些可能是肝胆或肠胃的急症，第一时间去医院，别先自己扛着喝茶。 These need A&E now, don't wait: persistent severe pain in the upper-right abdomen, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes (jaundice), vomiting blood or passing black stools — these can be liver, gallbladder or gut emergencies; go to hospital straight away rather than toughing it out with tea. Ini perlu kecemasan segera, jangan tunggu: sakit teruk berterusan di perut kanan atas, kulit atau putih mata menguning (jaundis), muntah darah atau najis hitam — ini boleh jadi kecemasan hati, pundi hempedu atau usus; terus ke hospital, jangan tahan dengan teh sahaja.
诚实说：过档期适度就好，别指望「护肝片」或「解酒饮料」替代少喝和休息。没有哪一种保健品是万能钥匙——身体真正需要的，是不那么超载、睡得够、水喝够、酒少一点。有胃食道逆流、胃炎的人，煎炸、浓汤、酒、咖啡、太饱都容易诱发反酸烧心；有高血压、糖尿病、高血脂、痛风的人，大鱼大肉、浓汤海鲜、甜品、酒都要控制量，常规服的药别自行停、别漏，该测的血糖血压照测。中医调理是辅助、帮身体过档期顺一点，不替代原本的药物和复查。身体有明显不适，别硬扛，及时就医。
Honestly: keep the season moderate, and don't expect "liver pills" or "sobering drinks" to replace drinking less and resting. No supplement is a master key — what the body actually needs is less overload, enough sleep, enough water and less alcohol. If you have acid reflux or gastritis, fried food, thick broths, alcohol, coffee and overeating all trigger reflux and heartburn; with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or gout, keep the rich meats, seafood broths, sweets and alcohol in check, don't stop or skip your regular medication on your own, and keep checking blood sugar and pressure as usual. TCM care is a support to smooth the season along — not a replacement for your medication and follow-ups. If something feels clearly wrong, don't tough it out; see a doctor.
Jujurnya: kekalkan musim ini sederhana, dan jangan harap "pil hati" atau "minuman sedar" menggantikan minum kurang dan berehat. Tiada suplemen yang kunci utama — yang badan perlukan ialah kurang beban, tidur cukup, air cukup dan kurang arak. Jika anda ada refluks asid atau gastritis, makanan goreng, sup pekat, arak, kopi dan makan berlebihan semua mencetuskan refluks dan pedih ulu hati; dengan darah tinggi, diabetes, kolesterol tinggi atau gout, hadkan daging berlemak, sup makanan laut, manisan dan arak, jangan berhenti atau terlepas ubat biasa sendiri, dan terus periksa gula darah serta tekanan seperti biasa. Rawatan TCM ialah sokongan — bukan pengganti ubat dan susulan anda. Jika ada yang jelas tidak kena, jangan tahan; jumpa doktor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Soalan Lazim
年底聚餐大吃一顿后，胀气、积食怎么办？Bloated and stuffed after a big year-end dinner — what helps?Kembung dan senak selepas jamuan besar hujung tahun — apa membantu?+
先别再往肚子里加东西，给脾胃一点时间。可以喝一杯无糖热茶（普洱、乌龙、山楂茶），起身走动十几分钟帮助消化，别吃完马上躺下或再续宵夜；下一餐清淡一点、主食减半、多点蔬菜。如果每次聚餐都是吃一点就胀、反酸、没胃口，那可能是脾胃本身偏虚弱，不只是「吃太多」，可以让中医看看脾胃状态。
First, stop adding more food and give your digestion time. Have a cup of unsweetened hot tea (pu-erh, oolong, hawthorn), get up and walk for ten-odd minutes, and don't lie down or carry on with supper; make the next meal lighter, halve the staple carbs, add vegetables. If every dinner a little food already brings bloating, reflux or poor appetite, your spleen-stomach may run weak rather than it just being 'too much' — worth having a TCM practitioner look at your digestion.
Mula-mula, berhenti menambah makanan dan beri penghadaman masa. Minum secawan teh panas tanpa gula (pu-erh, oolong, hawthorn), bangun berjalan sepuluh minit, jangan baring atau sambung supper; jadikan hidangan seterusnya lebih ringan, kurangkan nasi, tambah sayur. Jika setiap jamuan sedikit makanan sudah membawa kembung atau hilang selera, limpa-perut anda mungkin lemah — baik dinilai pengamal TCM.
应酬喝酒，中医有什么护肝建议？Drinking at functions — any TCM advice for the liver?Minum di majlis — ada nasihat TCM untuk hati?+
最实在的护肝就是少喝、慢喝。中医看酒性湿热，长期应酬喝多既伤肝也困脾，隔天头胀、口苦、胃不适、疲惫。真要喝：别空腹、先垫点东西，喝慢一点、多喝温水，别混着几种酒，开车绝不喝酒。要诚实说——没有「解酒神药」，猛灌水或浓茶顶多帮一点，真正靠的是量少、间隔够、让身体慢慢代谢。如果长期应酬、已经有脂肪肝或肝指数偏高，那更要靠生活调整＋西医定期检查，中医可以同时帮你疏肝健脾调理。
The most real 'liver protection' is simply drinking less and slower. In TCM, alcohol is damp-warm; heavy long-term drinking taxes the liver and dulls the spleen, with a heavy head, bitter mouth, upset stomach and fatigue the next day. If you drink: not on an empty stomach, eat first, go slow, plenty of warm water, don't mix drinks, and never drink and drive. Honestly — there is no 'miracle sober-up'; chugging water or strong tea helps only a little, what matters is less alcohol, spaced out, letting the body clear it. If long-term entertaining has already brought a fatty liver or raised liver enzymes, that calls for lifestyle change plus regular medical checks, with TCM soothing the liver and strengthening the spleen alongside.
Perlindungan hati paling nyata ialah minum kurang dan perlahan. Dalam TCM, arak lembap-panas; minum berat jangka panjang membebankan hati dan melemahkan limpa, dengan kepala berat, mulut pahit, perut tak selesa dan letih keesokannya. Jika minum: bukan perut kosong, makan dahulu, perlahan, banyak air suam, jangan campur, dan jangan sekali-kali minum dan memandu. Jujurnya — tiada 'penawar sedar ajaib'; yang penting kurang arak dan jarak masa. Jika jamuan jangka panjang sudah membawa hati berlemak atau enzim hati tinggi, itu perlukan perubahan gaya hidup dengan pemeriksaan perubatan berkala, dan TCM melegakan hati serta menguatkan limpa seiring.
一直吃煎炸、甜腻的东西，上火便秘怎么办？Non-stop fried and sweet food left me 'heaty' and constipated — now what?Makanan goreng dan manis tanpa henti buat saya 'panas dalam' dan sembelit — sekarang?+
先减量，把水和蔬菜水果补上。年底聚餐煎炸甜腻特别多，吃多容易咽干、口疮、长痘、便秘，中医看是甜腻助湿、煎炸生热。可以多喝温水、吃点梨、青菜帮助润一润，无糖菊花茶适量。但要分清楚：不是所有不舒服都该猛灌凉茶——如果其实是脾胃积滞（胀、腻、没胃口），凉茶偏寒反而更伤脾胃；分不清就让中医看看是「积滞」还是「上火」。
First cut back, and top up water, fruit and vegetables. Year-end dinners are heavy on fried and sweet food, so too much brings dry throat, mouth ulcers, breakouts and constipation — in TCM, sweet-greasy dampness plus fried-food heat. Drink more warm water, have some pear and greens to moisten things, unsweetened chrysanthemum tea in moderation. But be clear: not every discomfort calls for cooling tea — if it's really food stagnation (bloating, heaviness, poor appetite), cooling tea is cold and can burden the spleen-stomach; if unsure, let a practitioner tell food stagnation from 'heatiness.'
Mula-mula kurangkan, dan tambah air, buah dan sayur. Jamuan hujung tahun banyak goreng dan manis, jadi berlebihan membawa tekak kering, ulser, jerawat dan sembelit — dalam TCM, lembap manis-berminyak serta panas gorengan. Minum lebih air suam, makan pear dan sayur untuk melembapkan, teh krisantemum tanpa gula secara sederhana. Tetapi jelas: bukan setiap rasa tak selesa perlu teh sejuk — jika ia senak (kembung, hilang selera), teh sejuk boleh membebankan limpa-perut; jika tidak pasti, biar pengamal bezakan senak daripada 'panas dalam'.
连着几天熬夜应酬，隔天怎么调回来？Several late nights out in a row — how do I recover?Beberapa malam keluar berturut-turut — bagaimana pulih?+
熬夜耗的是气和阴，隔天最该做的是补觉、别用浓咖啡硬撑，白天小睡二三十分钟，饮食清淡、多喝温水。中医看熬夜后容易口干、眼干、心烦、疲惫，属气阴两耗，可用一些养阴生津、安神的食材（如麦冬、百合、莲子）温和调。最怕的是连着好几晚应酬到半夜又照常上班，身体没有回血的机会；能补一晚是一晚，尽量把作息拉回正常。
Late nights drain qi and yin, so the next day's priority is catch-up sleep — don't force through on strong coffee; take a 20–30 minute daytime nap, eat light, drink plenty of warm water. In TCM, post-late-night dry mouth, dry eyes, restlessness and fatigue reflect qi-and-yin depletion; mild yin-nourishing, calming foods (maidong, lily bulb, lotus seed) help. The worst is several nights out past midnight followed by a normal workday with no chance to recover; bank what sleep you can and pull your routine back to normal.
Berjaga menyusutkan qi dan yin, jadi keutamaan keesokannya ialah tidur ganti — jangan paksa dengan kopi pekat; tidur sebentar 20–30 minit, makan ringan, minum banyak air suam. Dalam TCM, mulut kering, mata kering, resah dan letih selepas berjaga mencerminkan susut qi dan yin; makanan lembut menyuburkan yin (maidong, umbi teratai, biji teratai) membantu. Paling teruk ialah beberapa malam keluar lewat diikuti hari kerja biasa; kumpul tidur yang boleh dan tarik rutin kembali normal.
有胃病、三高的人，年底聚餐要特别注意什么？With chronic conditions, what should I watch at year-end dinners?Dengan penyakit kronik, apa perlu diperhati di jamuan hujung tahun?+
聚餐饮食尤其要节制，别因为「难得聚」就放纵。有胃食道逆流、胃炎的人，煎炸、浓汤、酒、咖啡、太饱都容易诱发反酸烧心；高血压、糖尿病、高血脂、痛风的人，大鱼大肉、浓汤海鲜、甜品、酒都要控制量。最重要的一点：常规服的药别自行停、别漏，该测的血糖血压照测。中医调理是辅助、帮身体过档期顺一点，不替代原本的药物和复查；出现右上腹持续剧痛、皮肤眼白发黄、呕血或解黑便，要立刻就医、不要等。
Be especially moderate, and don't let 'it's a rare gathering' become an excuse to indulge. With acid reflux or gastritis, fried food, thick broths, alcohol, coffee and overeating all trigger reflux and heartburn; with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol or gout, keep the rich meats, seafood broths, sweets and alcohol in check. Above all: don't stop or skip your regular medication on your own, and keep checking blood sugar and pressure as scheduled. TCM care is a support, not a replacement for medication and follow-ups; persistent severe upper-right abdominal pain, yellowing skin or eyes, vomiting blood or black stools need A&E now — don't wait.
Berhati-hati dengan makanan, dan jangan jadikan 'jarang berkumpul' alasan berlebihan. Dengan refluks asid atau gastritis, goreng, sup pekat, arak, kopi dan makan berlebihan semua mencetuskan refluks dan pedih ulu hati; dengan darah tinggi, diabetes, kolesterol tinggi atau gout, hadkan daging berlemak, sup makanan laut, manisan dan arak. Paling penting: jangan berhenti atau terlepas ubat biasa sendiri, dan terus periksa gula darah serta tekanan. Rawatan TCM ialah sokongan, bukan pengganti ubat dan susulan; sakit teruk berterusan perut kanan atas, kulit atau mata menguning, muntah darah atau najis hitam perlu kecemasan segera — jangan tunggu.
