The Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) in Vienna: Celebrating Safely, Staying Healthy<\/h1>\n

Practical health tips from the chemist<\/h2>\n

The Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna is a highlight for many \u2013 whether at a public viewing event, a party, or comfortably at home in front of the television. However, long nights, alcohol, snacks, little sleep, and many impressions can put a greater strain on the body than expected. With a few simple measures, ESC can be enjoyed much more relaxed and healthily.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Keep an eye on circulation, fluids and alcohol.<\/h2>\n

Especially on long Eurovision evenings, people often don't drink enough, at least not water. Warm rooms, alcohol, and sitting for hours promote dehydration and circulatory problems. Therefore, it makes sense to drink water or mineral water regularly, ideally about one glass per hour.<\/p>\n

Alcohol should also be consumed consciously. Especially important:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Drink water between alcoholic drinks.<\/li>\n
  • Do not drink on an empty stomach<\/li>\n
  • Consume alcohol with caution in hot weather or if you have circulatory problems.<\/li>\n
  • Do not combine medication and alcohol carelessly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Many medicines, such as sedatives, sleeping pills or certain painkillers, do not mix well with alcohol. If in doubt, your pharmacy can help with questions about interactions.<\/p>\n

    Caution is also advised with energy drinks. Too much caffeine can exacerbate rapid heartbeat, sleep problems, or inner restlessness, especially in combination with alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Don't forget food, exercise, and rest<\/h2>\n

    At the ESC, people often snack, but not every nibble keeps the body fit for long. It's more sensible to have snacks that are more filling and keep the circulation stable, for example:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Nuts<\/li>\n
    • Vegetable sticks<\/li>\n
    • Wholemeal snacks<\/li>\n
    • Small protein-rich meals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Prolonged sitting also strains the back and circulation. Even short periods of movement help:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Stand up during advertising breaks<\/li>\n
      • Quick stretch<\/li>\n
      • A little walk or dance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Even sleep should not be completely sacrificed. Those who watch late or celebrate should consciously plan for rest the next day.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

        Taking hygiene, noise, and strain seriously<\/h2>\n

        During public viewings or larger celebrations, hygiene and sensory overload also play a role. Many infections are transmitted via hands or shared glasses. Therefore, the following applies:<\/p>\n
