8 Healthy Foods to Eat The Day after A Big Meal Weekends and vacations are meant for enjoying and relaxing. For many, it’s celebrating and indulging in their favourite foods. With a happy hour on Friday, party Saturday, and brunch Sunday, dinners out, and movies, even the healthiest eater finds difficult to stay on track. It is definitely pleasurable to enjoy your favourite foods, but the feeling of regret that comes immediately after can be cumbersome. Overdoing foods rich with sugar, carbs, fat, and also alcohol can leave you feeling tired, bloated, and guilty. “Feeling guilty doesn't lead to healthy eating and is more often associated with perpetuating emotional and binge eating behaviours,” says Torey Jones Armul, RDN, National Spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Practically, you can’t go backward, but you can start making healthier decisions right now by choosing the healthy foods to maintain the equilibrium. Listed below are some of the healthy foods that you can have after a big meal: Yogurt
Yogurt has ‘good’ bacteria called lactobacillus which helps in taming tummy troubles brought to you by too much eating. The probiotic power balances out bad bacteria and chances away gas and bad stomach. So, look for yogurt to get the bacterial benefit after a day of making unhealthy food choices. Oatmeal Start your day on the right foot by taking a bowl of an oatmeal breakfast. It will give you 1-2 grams of fibre and also helps in lowering cholesterol by kicking it out of your system. Add a banana to it as well since it is rich in potassium and will ease the effects in case you have had a sodium-high night.
Herbal teas Sipping on herbal teas promotes the movement of food through your digestive tracts and give relief. A mug of green/chamomile/chicory tea is chock-full of flavonoids as they help in lowering LDL levels or ‘bad’ cholesterol and also helps in getting high blood pressure back to normal. Grecobe’s Green coffee is also a great option to pick! It is full of antioxidants and is decaffeinated and can help with the stomach bloating. Eggs
Eggs are packed with a hearty nutritional punch – full of protein, riboflavin, vitamins B12 and D, and folate – all of which can help lower the risk of heart diseases that can be brought on by bingeing. If you’re worried about cholesterol, you can skip the yolk and whip up the white part with veggies to sneak in extra fibre. Nuts
Binge eating can increase the risk of heart disease, so a handful of nuts can be good. Almonds, peanuts, walnuts, and other nuts offer you vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids – all of which help lower cholesterol and protect your arteries. In short, a super healthy food to eat after big meal. Spinach
After binge eating, your body has a lot to work through. Spinach is full of iron and vitamin B12 which helps to metabolize fat. These vitamins also help fight infection and disease to help keep you healthy longer. So, it’s best to eat your leafy greens raw or lightly steamed. Citrus fruits Citrus fruits like oranges and sweet lime packed with vitamin C, which helps in digesting fats and boosts metabolism. It also gives you more energy and lift your spirits. Opt for whole fruit instead of juice to avoid extra sugar. Broccoli Broccoli is rich in magnesium which works as mood booster. Just a half-cup of cooked broccoli gives you nearly 13% of your daily magnesium. The green veggie is already popular as a super food but if you binged last night, it is also a healthy food to eat next day.
Apart from the above-mentioned healthy foods, drinking lots of water is also a great way to get your body past a binge. It not only helps in proper digestion but also softens your stool so you can move things along. No a food but still a must-have after few hours of big meal. If gaining few extra pounds is bothering you, green coffee is a tested and proven weight loss product.
