After getting all sweaty and opening up those pores, down some of those fiber-rich raspberries and mangoes for a post-yoga glow. Plus, cardamom can also help reduce inflammation and is a relative of ginger (a popular digestive aid). You'll instantly feel refreshed—and ready to tackle the rest of your day.
