These proven strategies, recommended by nutrition experts, can help you recover quickly and comfortably after indulging too much.
1. Get Moving
Light exercise kickstarts your metabolism. After a big meal, head outside for a gentle walk with family or friends.
2. Politely Decline Seconds
When extra dishes arrive, resist the urge despite the temptation. Your stomach will thank you for saying no.
3. Skip the Guilt
Occasional indulgences don't derail healthy habits—savor them guilt-free. Feel free to politely pass on offerings from your host.
4. Never Skip Meals
Avoid skipping lunch to 'save room'—it often leads to snacking or overeating later. Stick to your routine.
5. Stay Hydrated
Opt for plenty of water alongside any wine. Proper hydration supports digestion and eases bloating.
6. Stay Upright
Wait ideally three hours before lying down. If family traditions call for earlier rest, lie on your left side to aid digestion.
