RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip: 

Did you hit the alcohol & salty/sugary foods hard celebrating the 4th? Here's FOUR simple ways to get your nutrition back on track: 

1) Start eating something SMALL every 3hrs. This will speed up your metabolism = burning cal faster. 

2) To best detox from the booze is to keep drinking water. Since our body is 75% water, and our brain is 90% water, this will help prevent dehydration which amplifies the hangover feeling. 

3) To slow down the digestion of all the sugar, start consuming high FIBER foods. 

4) All that salty foods = looking/feeling bloated, because sodium carries excess water. To lower the sodium levels in the body, consume high POTASSIUM foods (spinach, beans, bananas, kiwi).
