5 Foods to Eat When You Overeat – The Huffington Post
Even those with the best intentions tend to overdo it on Thanksgiving but the Huffington Post offers some good advice for feeling better and getting your diet back on track by offering up the following 5 foods:
Spices- according to a study in The Journal of Nutrition consuming a meal that contains about 2 tablespoons of spices can help lower triglyceride and insulin levels after eating a high-fat, high-calorie meal.
Orange Juice- the antioxidants in OJ may help lower free radical levels after eating a high-fat meal according to a study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Fruit- consuming fruit, especially antioxidant rich berries and grapes, help reduce the damage caused by free-radicals that are released after over-eating.
Vinegar- a tablespoon of vinegar can help reduce blood sugar spikes after consuming a carbohydrate-rich meal. This is especially important for those with diabetes; the excess glucose can damage tissue over time.
Red Wine- enjoying a glass of wine with a heavy meal may be good for your heart. Rich in antioxidants, wine can help reduce the negative effects of high-fat food that are linked with heart disease.
