A Flat Tummy by New Year's in Five Easy Steps

We don't condone binging over the holidays, but we know it happens. (Who can resist canapés, stuffing, and champagne?) Unfortunately, overindulging can result in next-day bloating and other unpleasant side effects. But did you know that the ingredients in some of your favorite $9 juices are proven miracle workers? Click through for exclusive tummy-reducing tips, plus five easy juice recipes that promise to help you get back on track.

Here's how Lori Kenyon Farley and Marra St. Clair, the founders of Ritual Cleanse and authors of The Juice Cleanse Reset Diet: 7 Days to Transform Your Body for Increased Energy, Glowing Skin, and a Slimmer Waistline, keep their wits about them when confronted with an option-packed buffet:

• They drink plenty of water. Drinking more than your usual amount during the holiday season can help you stay fuller and less tempted to overindulge.

• They avoid excess salt. Foods high in salt will definitely contribute to holiday bloat, especially in the skin on your face.

• They nix carbonation. Too much champagne, soda, or seltzer water can create bloating once the carbon dioxide is released in the digestive track.

• They limit dairy. Many people have problems digesting dairy and end up with bloating after partaking.

Still feeling that food baby the next day? Instead of a slice of left-over pumpkin pie for breakfast, try one of these five simple and delicious juices, which we’ve organized by ingredient, to help calm your stomach and decrease bloating.
