After celebrating Sham El-Nessim with salty foods like fesikh and herring, many people experience bloating, heaviness, and fluid retention due to high sodium intake. However, restoring balance and energy is achievable with simple steps in the following days.

Eliminating Excess Salt
The first step is helping the body get rid of excess sodium by drinking plenty of water throughout the day, which helps reduce fluid retention. Natural drinks like lemon water or parsley-infused water can also support detoxification.

Reducing salt intake for at least two days and focusing on potassium-rich vegetables like cucumber and arugula can help restore fluid balance.

Soothing the Digestive System
After heavy meals, the digestive system needs rest. Light foods such as yogurt, oats, and soups are recommended as they help reduce bloating and improve digestion.

Foods rich in probiotics, like yogurt, also support gut health and restore balance.

Gradual Return to a Balanced Diet
Avoid extreme dieting after overeating. Instead, return gradually to a balanced diet that includes protein, vegetables, and healthy carbohydrates.

Reducing sugar and fat intake in the following days helps the body recover faster.

Boosting Activity
Light physical activity, such as walking for 30 minutes daily, helps stimulate circulation, reduce sluggishness, and improve digestion.

When to Seek Attention
Symptoms like severe headaches, constant thirst, or stomach issues may indicate excessive salt levels. Medical advice is recommended, especially for those with high blood pressure.

Conclusion
Balance is key. With just one or two days of proper care, your body can return to normal without extreme measures.
