Foods to Avoid on your Wedding Day…
It’s no secret that we all want to look and feel our best on our wedding day; it’s also no secret that certain foods are more beneficial than others. Obviously, your day is to be enjoyed and as your wedding goes on you’ll probably end up splurging, as you should. In no particular order here are a few foods and food groups that you should avoid on your wedding day.
Carbonated drinks, such as carbonated waters and sodas contain carbon dioxide, which makes your stomach expand leaving you feeling bloated. The best thing you can drink on your wedding day, especially before your wedding is water, if that bores you add some fruit or cucumber to it for a touch of flavor. Not only will water help reduce bloat but it’s great for your skin as well.
Most people at some point become lactose-sensitive or lactose-intolerant; it’s a good idea to steer clear of cheese or any dairy the day of your wedding to avoid feeling distended, nausea, gas and fatigue.
Even though a big cup of joe might be the most satisfying thing on the morning of your wedding, caffeine can often times leave you feeling jittery and anxious. Being jittery can also trigger neurotransmitters that can cause sweating, as much as we want that natural glow on our wedding day, sweat is not the glow we’re looking for.
While you should enjoy Champagne and cocktails at your wedding, try and hold off until the reception as alcohol can contribute to your mental and physical well-being . Not only does alcohol have affects on your appearance but your wedding is something to be cherished, not just another night out that will be forgotten the next day. Alcohol makes the night fuzzy no matter how much or how little you drink, you want to experience and remember every little detail of your wedding; with that being said consume within reason!
Cruciferous fruits and veggies are normally an important part of a well-balanced diet as they contain plenty of fiber, however; for your wedding day you may want to avoid them. These fibrous foods should be avoided on your wedding day as well as even a few days before your wedding as they can make you feel gassy.
If this seems a bit restrictive for you, just remember that once the party gets rolling you should enjoy all the foods you normally would.
