There are some people who have stomach discomfort after eating heavy meals. It is obvious that when we see different varieties of foods we want to eat all of them without even thinking about the issues of excess eating.
Even after having a stomach full of food, there are some people who like to eat their favourite delicacies. The various side effects of eating too much are bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain etc. It is possible to avoid stomach discomfort after heavy meals by eating slowly.
The food would get digested well and would pass through the digestive system if the food is chewed properly. After eating unhealthy favourite foods, we could get stomach discomfort and would find it difficult.
Several ways to soothe the stomach after eating too much are
By going for walk:
The process of digestion would get better by taking a walk after eating too much food. It must be noted that the stomach would get calmed down by walking due to the movement in the body. Point is that walking would help to speed up the time that food takes to go to the small intestines. By this, acid reflux would be eased.
By drinking water:
The stomach would digest the food easily by drinking plain normal water itself. It is important to avoid drinking sparkling water as it would further upset the stomach.
By taking a massage:
We could effectively reduce stomach bloating issues by massaging the stomach from left to right after eating heavy foods. From the base of the abdomen, we could stroke the stomach up to ribcage. Then the palm of the hands must be placed on the back and moved forward over hips, down pelvis sides till groin. This would calm down the stomach well.
By using hot water bag:
This is also one superb method to reduce the uncomfortable feeling after consuming heavy meals. By placing a hot water bag, we could put some heat on the stomach. It is believed that the muscles in the gut would become relaxed by the heat and the trapped gas would move out of the intestines.
By drinking peppermint tea:
We could get a cooling and relaxing effect on the stomach portion by drinking peppermint tea. It is also superb to apply peppermint oil over the stomach area to ease abdominal cramps etc. By this, we could also ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome or IBS also.
