Feeling bloated after a big holiday meal?
Beat The Holiday Bloat: Try These Tips!
If you find yourself overindulging during the holidays, dieticians recommend these tips to avoid that gassy, bloated feeling that can come from a big meal:
- Chew your food well. It helps your digestive system to process your meal.
- Incorporate ginger which can calm intestinal activity and reduce intestinal gas.
Hydrate with water, which also helps your body process your meal more efficiently. Aim for 80 ounces over the day.
- Lie on your left side after a meal to allow gravity to help digestion.
- Get moving! A small walk or light housework can beat the bloat.
