- Drink Warm Water
If you feel heavy after eating, sip on lukewarm water. This aids digestion and helps reduce acidity. - Try Lemon Water
Mix half a lemon’s juice and a pinch of salt in a glass of warm water. It helps balance acidity and improves digestion. - Drink Ginger Tea or Chew Mint Leaves
Ginger tea can soothe an upset stomach, as ginger contains compounds that aid digestion. Chewing mint leaves also helps relieve bloating. - Take a Light Walk
Avoid lying down right after eating. A slow walk for 10-15 minutes can aid digestion and prevent gas buildup. - Eat Yogurt or Drink Buttermilk
Probiotics in yogurt support digestion and soothe the stomach. Buttermilk is another great option. - Opt for Fiber-Rich Foods
For your next meal, choose light, fiber-rich foods like cucumber, papaya, or apples. These promote digestion and prevent constipation. - Drink Cumin Water
Boil a teaspoon of cumin seeds in water and drink it to reduce bloating and gas.
Things to Avoid
- Don't sleep immediately after eating.
- Avoid greasy or spicy foods.
- Skip cold drinks or soft drinks, as they can slow digestion.
After indulging in festive meals during Eid, weddings, or any special occasion, these simple remedies can help you feel better quickly. Stay hydrated, eat light, and take a short walk for better digestion!
