Did anyone eat a bit too much candy recently? No worries, it happens!
Even the most disciplined individuals might give in to the Halloween spirit and indulge. It’s all fun and games until the aftermath of sugar overload kicks in: feeling bloated, headaches, and a general feeling of sluggishness.
But, it’s possible to bounce back! Here’s a simple recovery plan to help reset:
- Clear Out the Leftover Candy
Enjoying treats on occasions like Halloween is totally okay! What’s important is the daily routine. So, after the Halloween splurge, it’s good to return to regular habits. A quick tip? Don’t hoard the leftover candy. It’s tempting to keep all the treats around, but removing them can help in returning to a healthier routine. Maybe share them or give them away!
- Embrace Fiber Intake
Fiber is essential for the body, especially after indulging in sugar. Consuming sugar spikes blood sugar levels, leading to increased insulin release. Insulin can signal the body to store excess sugar as fat.
Introducing fiber can slow this process, helping manage blood sugar levels. Try consuming high-fiber foods or even consider a high-fiber drink. Mixing a teaspoon of psyllium husk, flax, or chia seeds in water might be beneficial.
