Whether you’re coming back from a holiday or you’ve had an overindulgent weekend, rest assured that tomorrow is a new day.
One of the best ways to start is with a healthy breakfast. If you overdid it recently in terms of food, you might be feeling a bit nauseous or bloated. Not to worry, we have 13 fresh-start healthy breakfasts that will have you feeling better in no time.
Especially after a food-centric holiday, you can—and should—eat in a way that doesn’t deprive you but simply shifts your food intake to healthier whole foods that provide lots of dietary fiber to improve digestion while cutting out foods that are less nutritious like refined sugar and bread products.
