If you ate a little too much on Turkey Day...
Here are 2 simple steps to bounce back from the bloat!
1. FORGIVE YOURSELF!
Look back at your family-filled epicurean adventure and remember the laughs and maybe the cries with fondness… and that’s it. DO NOT beat yourself up about what you ate and the amount, rate and speed at which it went down. Stress releases cortisol which triggers your body to hold onto MORE fat cells.
2. GET MOVING!
Today is a new day, and it’s within your power to make the smarter, more mindful choice. Sweat it out and put those extra calories to good use by burning them on a workout. Exercise reduces inflammation. This coupled with the below household foods will have you feeling fab and get you back on track!
The 5 Household Foods that Combat Excess Salt, Sugar, and Alcohol
Bananas, Potatoes, & Leafy Greens
They’re packed with potassium which blunts the effects of sodium. The more potassium we eat, the more sodium we pass out of the body. Potassium also helps relax blood vessel walls.
Hummus with Veggies
They’re high in fiber which helps slow the absorption of simple sugars
Green Tea and Lemon
They’re both diuretics, which means they'll make you take more bathroom breaks. This forces your blood to pump through your kidneys faster, which may help increase the detox process
Ginger
This awesome superfood is known to help reduce nausea, upset stomach, muscle pain, and soreness caused by excess alcohol intake.
Water
You know you need it! Drink up and lots of it to help flush your system.
