How does Lent affect your health?
An article was published on the Izvestia information portal about how changing the diet during Lent can affect well-being. Maxim Sergeevich Maskin, a gastroenterologist at the Olympic Clinic MARS, explained why a sharp rejection of animal food can lead to a nutritional deficiency.
The doctor outlined who should not adhere to strict restrictions, explained how to smoothly switch to a lean diet to avoid weakness, dizziness and digestive problems, and also gave recommendations on the correct way out of fasting. A full analysis of the topic is in a new Izvestia article.
