Beat the Bloat

Did you eat too much? Full tummy? Bloated? Pants too tight after the big meal? Its no fun when you feel sick or bloated after you eat. It can ruin the mood, and send you home to bed early.

I have went through this, and I know how you feel. Its frustrating and awful to feel sick and bloated. UUgh. You don't have to suffer from tummy pain, or feeling like your pants are too tight. 

Here are a few simple tips to lighten the load during and after a big meal. 

When you sit down to eat, try these tips:

  1. Have small sips of water with your food instead of big glasses full. If you drink a couple big glasses of water/ juice/ pop, it dilutes your digestive juices in your tummy, and then takes longer for your body to digest. Try this during your next big meal, it really works!

This in turn helps your body to age well, and prevent long term disease.
