Nutritionists advised on how to alleviate the condition after overeating

Many feasts or events associated with them take place in the evening, when you don’t really want to eat, and it’s also unhealthy. What should you do if you can’t resist and eat your fill at night – especially heavy, high-calorie food? How can you ease the body’s condition and improve the functioning of your digestive system?
Nutritionists advise: the next day, you must thoroughly cleanse your overworked body – after all, while you were sleeping, your digestive organs and kidneys continued to work in an enhanced mode. It’s best to start cleansing immediately after waking up, and steadfastly go through all the stages until you go to bed.
The first thing you need to do is rid your tissues of excess fluid. It is known that one of the consequences of overeating is edema: excess salty, sweet and fatty foods lead to accumulation and stagnation of fluid in the tissues.
The next day after a hearty meal, you should never eat anything salty or sweet, so that excess fluid can leave your body without any problems. Doctors advise paying more attention to protein foods and less to carbohydrate foods. For example, you can easily cook unsalted chicken fillet, an omelet, a cottage cheese casserole with raisins, etc. The protein will be easily absorbed by the body, and the swelling will gradually subside.
If possible, it is better to choose foods that contain sufficient fiber for cooking. Among such foods, vegetables, fruits, beans, bran or whole grain breads are especially popular. There is no need to make any special restrictions on the calorie content of dishes, since the cleansing day can end with a bout of gluttony. If this happens, all efforts will go down the drain, and the cleansing will have to be started over again.
Even if you overeat at night, you should not cancel breakfast. Otherwise - see above - overeating or a bout of gluttony may occur at lunchtime. You should also not overeat in the morning: it is best to prepare a light breakfast. You can eat yogurt and drink a cup of coffee, or eat a few slices of hard cheese and an apple.
To restore the balance of water and electrolytes, in addition to nutrition, you need to remember the need for fluid intake. It may seem strange to someone, but with sufficient water intake, its removal also increases: thus, swelling will go away faster. The best drink will be ordinary clean water. In addition to it, tea with lemon or ginger will be useful. Sweet carbonated drinks, on the contrary, will contribute to the appearance of swelling.
If overeating was not connected with any event, and you simply overate, having made an evening "attack" on the refrigerator, then you need to think about why this happened. Perhaps you had a "hard" stressful day, or your eating regime was disrupted. Or did you eat so little during the day that the body could not stand it in the evening and decided to "take its own"? Nutritionists advise: in order not to shake up eating behavior and prevent episodes of overeating, try to eat evenly throughout the day, in small portions. Overeating has a very negative effect on the functioning of the stomach, pancreas, liver and kidneys, which sooner or later can lead to the development of chronic diseases.
