Like every year after New Years Eve, our stomachs have trouble recovering from all our excesses.

Between the foie gras, the cheese, the log and, to sprinkle it all, the champagne, our liver simply cannot take it anymore.

How to get it back?

Invited in Bienfait pour vous on Europe, the sports coach Jean-Marc Delorme delivers his precious advice to rectify the situation. 

DECRYPTION

Hearty meals, rich in fats and sugars, alcohol ... The Christmas holidays very quickly turn into a marathon of taste pleasure ... and damage!

Because our poor little liver is not used to processing so much information.

So, how do we get it to recover after our excesses?

And how to prepare our body for the New Year's Eve meal on the 31st?

Answers and tips from coach Jean-March Delorme in Bienfait pour vous sur Europe. 

Do a long workout

Not after New Years Eve but before!

This upstream preparation can limit the damage.

So, we put on our outfit and sneakers on December 31 and we do what we call HIIT: that is to say a session of short moments, fast and intense muscularly speaking.

It's ideal because in the evening, when we go to eat, we don't just store.

We are also going to rebuild our glycogen stocks. 

Hydrate well

Water will help prevent you from becoming dehydrated, on the one hand, and properly eliminate foods that are a little more fatty than you have ingested. 

Not to fast

Above all, do not deprive yourself of food.

Eat well at midday and opt for a simple broth at night (it's also perfect for hydration).

Before New Year's Eve on the 31st, you can also drink broth instead of afternoon tea to achieve a satiety effect.

This way, you will have fewer temptations when you find yourself in front of the petits fours.

Opt for fruits and vegetables

They are the detox foods par excellence.

They contain all the nutrients essential to eliminate: potassium which accelerates drainage, fibers which trap toxins and evacuate them in the stool, antioxidants which reduce inflammation and boost the emunctory organs (the liver, kidneys, intestines, etc. skin and lungs).

It is therefore consumed with each meal, favoring the cooked, more digestible forms.

Favor white fish and lean meats

Animal products acidify the body and are, for some (cheeses, cold meats, fatty meats, etc.) rich in saturated fats that are difficult to digest.

Reduce the portions, and favor white fish, lean meats and lean yogurts.

They should not be removed as they remain important for protein intake.
