Tips to prevent overeating
Did you know that your stomach is only the size of 2 fists? During the holidays, it quickly fills up with extra snacks and elaborate dinners, which can put a serious strain on your digestion. Disturbed digestion can lead to discomforts such as stomach cramps, gas and bloating. No worries, we have 7 extensive tips!
Tip 1 - Eat mindfully
-
Don't eat too fast and chew well: Take your time to enjoy each bite. Chewing well promotes digestion.
-
Eat enough fiber: Add fiber-rich foods to your meals, such as vegetables and whole grains.
-
Bloat After Eating With CCF Tea: A cup of cumin , coriander and fennel seeds (CCF) tea can help relieve bloating.
Tip 2 - Give your digestion time
Let your digestion do its work quietly. Avoid eating in a hurry and give yourself time to enjoy your meal. This also allows you to be truly aware of the moment.
Extra tip: don't drink before, during or after eating. This dilutes your stomach acid, which makes your food less digestible.
Tip 3 - Eat colorfully
Choose different colours on your plate. Fruits and vegetables with different colours contain different nutrients that benefit your digestion.
Tip 4 - Drink fewer cold drinks
Avoid too many (ice) cold drinks while eating, as this can slow down digestion. Instead, opt for lukewarm drinks.
Tip 5 - Get moving
Exercise aids digestion. Take a leisurely walk after your meal to help your body process the food and continue exercising during and between the holidays. Maintain your normal rhythm as much as possible.
Tip 6 - Relax, enjoy consciously
Take time to relax and consciously enjoy the festive meals. Stress can also contribute to digestive problems.
