food comaDo you feel it coming on? That Thanksgiving food coma we all know so well. Never fear, says Real Simple magazine. Here, three tips for fighting off your food fatigue through physical activity.

Get up and clear your own plate after your main meal and dessert
. Then have coffee. Have others do the same. Before you know it, the whole gang is up and moving around.

Get a post-meal scavenger hunt game going
. Take it outdoors if you can for some fresh air. Award the winner and runner-up with the wishbone honors.

Play more games
. Play some tag football -- or opt for some childhood favorites, like Red Rover, dodgeball, and freeze tag.

Clever ideas, I think. Any other's you'd like to share?
