Health experts advise preventive care and nutrition for routine transitions

Health specialists emphasize the importance of preventive medical evaluations and proper nutrition as students and professionals return to their daily routines.

Dr. Andrea Odreman, an internist at Grupo Médico Santa Paula, notes that the transition back to strict schedules can cause physical and metabolic imbalances. She recommends comprehensive clinical reviews and basic laboratory tests—including hematology, lipid profiles, and metabolic profiles—to detect silent pathologies such as anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or metabolic alterations that cause chronic fatigue and low concentration.

Regarding nutrition, experts highlight that breakfast is essential for cognitive performance. Research from the University of Leeds indicates that eating breakfast improves attention and memory compared to fasting. Clinical nutritionist María Emilia Reyes suggests oats as a key nutritional ally due to their carbohydrates, proteins, and soluble fiber. To manage time constraints, specialists recommend planning meals in advance and combining oats with fruits, eggs, or yogurt to ensure a balanced start to the day.
