How’s that hangover status? Drink extra water with a pinch of sea salt today to balance those electrolytes, and try your best to avoid caffeine! You’ll rebound like a champ in no time.
Fast for a meal (or two).
Now, hear me out. I don’t want you to think this is restriction, or for it to trigger bad food habits. However, in a season of indulgence, sometimes it is a good idea to lay off of solid food for a little bit in order to give our digestion a break.
No one wants to feel like an over-stuffed turkey, but we all want to make sure we are still properly fueling our bodies so we don’t wreak havoc on our metabolism.
Not hungry? Try fasting for a meal or two to give your body a chance to rest. Opt for green veggie juices made with kale, dandelion greens, cucumber, lemon + ginger. Sip on homemade chicken broth for protein. And of course, stay hydrated.
This doesn’t mean I want you to NOT eat over the holidays. I want you to listen to your body’s signals and pay attention to what it is telling you! Feeling overly full? Cut back on the solid food for a meal or two. Once you regain your appetite, lose the bloated feeling and notice true hunger signals, then pick up your fork!
Check back tomorrow for more ideas on how you can stay healthy during the holiday season with DAY 7!
