How does one feel after attending a gargantuan lunch and stuffing oneself eating everything?
Physically, one feels full and bloated, clumsy in movement, with a heavy stomach, with a mood that is not the best as one is conscious of having had an out-of-control eating behavior. Here then is where people try to repair the damage from binge eating by resorting to foods believed to be dietary or purifying or even impromptu fasts that help regain fitness compromised by toxins and excess fat.
If you choose not to fast, perhaps because of social issues, because you are away from home or whatever, it is good to use certain foods to make part of the purifying menu, chosen precisely for specific metabolic reconditioning actions.
The latter include, first among them:
Water to hydrate the body, cleansing the entire digestive tract. It aids digestion, and promotes evacuation by making stools softer.
Then, still others :
Yogurt
Bacteria such as lactobacillus, referred to as “good” can prevent or benefit intestinal disorders caused by large amounts of ingested food , thus counteracting “bad” bacteria that can cause abdominal gas and diarrhea.
Bananas
Too much food raises sodium levels, a real threat to hypertension.
Eating a banana helps lower sodium and reduce blood pressure, while the potassium present helps flush out toxins and fatigue.
Oats, Beans, Lentils
The fiber in oatmeal , or beans, helps reduce cholesterol levels and also keeps the gut in shape.
Green Tea
With its flavonoids it keeps fat and LDL at bay .
Hazelnuts and Almonds
Binge eating increases the risks of cardiovascular problems, risks that can be reduced by eating hazelnuts, almonds and walnuts and other dried fruits, which are particularly rich in fatty acids, unsaturated fats, vitamin E, and especially Omega-3, true protectors of vessels and arteries due to their remarkable action of lowering cholesterol levels.
Eggs
Food rich in protein , vitamins B12 and D, folate, very good for recovering from hangovers and preventing cardiovascular damage.
Spinach
An aid in getting rid of fat accumulated during big eating , rich in vitamin B2 and other vitamins useful in preventing infections and establishing good physical fitness.
Vinegar
A condiment, rather than a food, to be used in moderation so as not to damage the stomach. Particularly good for keeping sugar at bay, lowering the glycemic index, put to the test by binge eating…
Oranges
More useful as a fruit to eat than as a juiced version. They contain fiber and are ideal for taking in some vitamin C, which helps withstand fatigue and physical exertion. Arachneas improve metabolism and contribute to fat disposal.
Flaxseed, fiber and fatty acids beneficial to the heart.
Ginger, which promotes the emptying of gas in the intestines and stomach.
Salmon
Rich in omega-3s, fatty acids and protein, a valuable food for the brain and for containing sugar levels in the body.
Broccoli
A valuable food, it contains magnesium, an important resource for good fitness and mood. It contains fiber and contributes significantly to post-drinking physical recovery, often accompanied by depressive notes.
Feeding on a selection of “protective” foods such as those indicated will restore good mood and energy, while moderate physical activity and sufficient sleep at night will help forget the hard experience of the big binge.
