Tips to Get Back on Track After Overeating

Eat light meals the next day (like soups or salads)
Move more so you won’t feel sluggish
Hydrate
Don’t starve yourself – this can lead to extreme hunger, causing you to overeat all over again

Tips to Recover From a Nasty Hangover

Hydrate
Try ginger to help with nausea
Drink coconut water
Opt for something savory instead of sweet (like salty pretzels or crackers)

There’s nothing wrong with indulging a little each week — especially when you’re celebrating a holiday or enjoying a big game. The key to feeling good all the time is to treat yourself in moderation. If you treat yourself every day, it’s not special. You wind up feeling sluggish, bloated, and develop poor eating and drinking habits that can lead to health problems down the line.
