From Chole Bhature to French Fries, all fried foods are delicious and we often end up overeating which further causes a lot of unrest and discomfort.
While the discomfort seems to be temporary, but in the long run, they result in high cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes too.
Hence, it is important to reduce the practice of overeating and also avoid oily food.
But, in case you end up indulging in a sinful serving of your favourite deep-fried food, here are 6 things that you can do.
1. Drink lukewarm water
Whenever you feel you have over-stuffed yourself, start drinking lukewarm water after 30-45 minutes of the meal. According to experts, water acts as a carrier for nutrients and waste products too. Lukewarm water helps break the nutrients into digestible form, and you start feeling lighter.
2.Detox drink
The best way to calm down the body is to drink lemon water. This detox drink helps flush out toxins accumulated after consuming oily foods. It also aids weight loss.
3. Take a small walk
According to experts, walking after 20 minutes of a heavy meal helps improve digestion and it also promotes better stomach motility and aids weight loss.
4. Eat probiotics
Make sure that you eat some probiotics after 20-25 minutes of a heavy meal. Probiotics help balance digestive health and improve gut flora and immunity as well. The most effective probiotic that you can have is yogurt.
5. Eat fruits
After a gap of 60 minutes, have a small portion of fibre-rich fruits. They help avoid constipation and also boost the digestive system. Also, it is suggested to eat more fruits and vegetables in the next couple of meals to improve the functioning of the digestive system.
6. Calculate your meal
Once you have overstuffed the body, make sure that your next couple of meals are very light and easy to digest. It is suggested to follow a liquid diet to keep the body hydrated and indulge in fibre-rich foods that can smoothen the digestive system.
