It happens every year to most of us: the Thanksgiving hangover. Too much food, too much booze and too much dessert. How will we ever recover?!!!?
Here are some things to do to help recover from the food coma we are all in:
Sleeping it off
Probably the best thing to do while in a food coma is to sleep it off. Not only does it feel good but what would thanksgiving be if you didn't take a nap or sleep right after a huge feast?!
Going to the gym
Once you've gotten some rest and can regain your energy back, it's time to hit the gym, or go out for a nice run! The idea of working out after Thanksgiving might not be nice to even think about, but your body will thank you later! Plus you have to prep for Christmas dinner, which is soon to come as well.
Avoiding the leftovers OR Using leftovers for lunch the next week
It seems as though a lot of people don't like leftovers. Thanksgiving is that time when leftovers for the next few days are completely acceptable. But is it healthy to be feasting on huge Thanksgiving meals every day for the next few days? Probably not. So maybe instead of eating leftovers in huge portions, cut the portions down to smaller amounts and meal prep for your upcoming school and/or work week! You can also take a healthier route by making a turkey sandwich or turkey salad, eating leftover mash every other day instead of every day, etc. This will help not carry out your Thanksgiving hangover and food coma throughout the following week!
