Stay hydrated, but sip moderately during meals. Excessive water can dilute gastric juices, slowing digestion and leaving you feeling bloated—like you've packed on extra pounds after eating.
Spices like cinnamon, paprika, garlic, and even raw onion are powerful allies for gut health. Enjoy a daily mint infusion to release trapped gases and support your liver, especially after heavy meals.
Opt for warm baths or a hot water bottle on your lower abdomen. Heat activates organs like the liver and kidneys, easing spasms and expelling gas. It's soothing and can be repeated as needed.
Mix 1 teaspoon of edible green clay (available at pharmacies) in a glass of water before bed. In the morning, drink the water, leaving the settled clay behind. Follow for 15 days.
