Having a big meal the day before does not mean compromising on the quality of food you eat the next day. Rather than having a big breakfast full of fried and processed foods, consider adding more fibre into your meal. Fibre rich foods include whole-grain products, fruit, vegetables, beans and nuts. These foods can help keep your gut healthy and help with digestion.

Rest your colon, liver and kidneys after a feast by avoiding foods that are hard to digest, such as fried and processed foods. Instead, opt for a meal that is low in fat, and high in protein. Go for light, yet nutritious foods such as porridge, soup and salad.
