* Have A Lots Of Fruits
Fruits are a great source of vitamins, fibre, and minerals. They also help in naturally rehydrating the body and help a person overcome the sluggish feeling that one may have after hopping on a lot of oily food. After eating very spicy and oily food, the digestive system feels overburdened. To decrease this burden, a person should keep on eating lots of hydrating fruits that might be available seasonally for a couple of days after eating the unhealthy meal. This will slowly help in eradicating the feeling of dehydration and nausea from the body.
* Next Meal Should Be Light
After having a meal of choice that is quite healthy, a person must make sure that the next meal is very light and easy on the stomach. One can simply have a fibrous bowl of oats that is lightly seasoned or dahi chawal. Try to avoid consuming spices and focus on something that is easy to digest and has a good amount of protein. This is exactly what the body will need after a hard-to-digest meal has been consumed.
