1. Adjustment after overeating instant noodles
Although instant noodles are convenient and delicious, they are usually high in salt and lack fresh nutrients, which can easily lead to edema and nutritional imbalance.
The next day’s diet can focus on light and nutritionally balanced：
– Increase water intake
Instant noodles have a high sodium content. Drink more water the next day to help excrete excess salt. Green tea or lemon water are also good choices.
– Choose low-salt and light foods
Avoid high-salt and high-fat foods, and eat fresh fruits and vegetables, such as cucumbers, celery and tomatoes.These water-rich foods can effectively help reduce swelling.
– Supplement protein and fiber
Instant noodles do not contain enough protein. Eat some high-quality protein such as eggs and tofu every other day, and add fiber-rich foods such as oats and brown rice to help promote digestion and enhance satiety.
2. Adjustment after eating spicy hot pot
Spicy hotpot is delicious and stimulating, but it can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort for people with sensitive stomachs.
The next day’s diet can be more moderate：
– Rehydrate and relieve spiciness
Spicy food can irritate the gastrointestinal tract. Drinking warm water or chrysanthemum tea every other day can help clear away heat, detoxify, and relieve discomfort.
– Choose mild food
To protect the stomach and intestines, avoid spicy and greasy food and eat easily digestible food, such as millet porridge and clear vegetable soup.
– Eating probiotics in moderation
Such as yogurt, kimchi, etc., can help regulate gastrointestinal flora and relieve indigestion caused by spicy food.
3. Adjustment after eating too much sweets
Sweets are delicious, but they are high in calories and can easily cause blood sugar fluctuations.
Pay attention to the stable control of blood sugar when eating every other day：
–Avoid refined sugar
Try to avoid sugary foods the next day and choose low GI foods such as whole grains, brown rice, etc. to help keep blood sugar stable.
– Increase dietary fiber intake
Sweets lack fiber, so eat more vegetables, fruits and whole grains every other day, such as apples, carrots, lettuce, etc. Fiber helps stabilize blood sugar and prolong satiety.
– Eat more protein and healthy fats
Protein and fat can alleviate blood sugar fluctuations. Eating chicken, salmon, avocado and other foods in moderation can help slow down the rise in blood sugar.
4. Adjustment after eating pizza and bread
Pizza and bread usually contain a lot of carbohydrates and fat, which can easily lead to high blood sugar and excessive fat intake.
The next day’s diet can appropriately control carbohydrate intake:
– Increase vegetable intake
Try to avoid sugary foods the next day and choose low GI foods such as whole grains, brown rice, etc. to help keep blood sugar stable.
– Use potatoes instead of rice
Potatoes are low GI foods and can better stabilize blood sugar than rice. Potatoes are also rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote digestion.
– Mainly protein
The staple food on alternate days can be reduced appropriately, and the intake of protein such as eggs and chicken breast can be increased to help provide sustained energy and prolong the feeling of fullness.
5. Diet adjustment after over-eating fried food
Fried foods are usually high in calories and fat, which can easily put a burden on the liver and digestive system.
The next day’s diet:
–Drink more water to help detoxification
The high-fat content of fried food will increase the burden on the kidneys and liver. Drinking more water every other day will help eliminate the accumulated fat and toxins in the body. You can also choose to drink some warm lemon water, green tea, dandelion tea, or cassia seed tea, which can help to relieve greasiness and aid digestion.
– Increase your intake of high-fiber foods
High-fiber foods can help promote intestinal peristalsis and speed up the digestive system to excrete excess fat. The next day, you can eat more vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, such as celery, spinach, apples, pears, oats, etc. For example, you can add a portion of oatmeal porridge with fruit for breakfast; choose a vegetable salad or steamed vegetables for lunch or dinner.
–Choose light, low-fat protein sources
Fried foods are usually low in protein, so you can supplement with some high-quality protein the next day, such as chicken breast, fish, tofu, etc. It is recommended to choose steaming, boiling or baking to avoid consuming too much fat again. A moderate amount of eggs is also a good source of protein, 1-2 eggs a day is enough.
– Reduce carbohydrate intake, especially refined carbohydrates
Fried foods already bring more calories, so you can reduce the intake of refined carbohydrates such as rice and pasta the next day, especially avoid white rice, white noodles and other foods that easily raise blood sugar. You can replace carbohydrate sources with low-GI foods, such as steamed potatoes and sweet potatoes, or increase the proportion of vegetables.
-Eat foods rich in antioxidants
The high temperature processing of fried foods may generate some oxides and trans fats. You can eat a moderate amount of foods rich in antioxidants the next day to help remove free radicals in the body. For example, you can eat some berries (such as blueberries, strawberries), nuts (such as walnuts, almonds), and green tea. The antioxidant components of these foods can reduce oxidative stress.
–Moderate exercise promotes metabolism
You can do some light aerobic exercise the next day, such as walking or yoga, to help promote metabolism and speed up the consumption of excess fat, but avoid strenuous exercise to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
Walking a little after a meal can promote gastrointestinal motility and help digest fat.
Through these diet and lifestyle adjustments, you can help your body metabolize fat better and restore a sense of freshness, so that you can easily restore your health while enjoying delicious food.
Overall Recommendations
To better stay healthy after a holiday meal, here are some daily eating and living habits to consider:
– Drink enough water: Adults need to drink 2000-3000 ml of water every day to keep the body hydrated and help metabolize waste.
– Eat three meals regularly and avoid late-night snacks: Try not to eat three hours before going to bed. A slight feeling of hunger can help accelerate fat metabolism and improve sleep quality.
– Drink soup before meals and eat in a reasonable order: drink soup first or eat vegetables first and then eat protein foods (such as eggs or meat), which helps increase satiety and slow down the rise in blood sugar.
– Moderate exercise: Taking a walk or doing simple yoga after a meal can help promote digestion and avoid calorie accumulation.
– Maintain a regular work and rest schedule: adequate sleep helps balance hormones and avoid overeating due to mood swings.
– Eat more antioxidant foods: such as berries, green tea and nuts, which can help reduce the oxidative stress in the body caused by holiday eating and promote health.
