Indulging in rich, oily foods with starch not only leaves your stomach feeling bloated and uncomfortable but also poses a challenge to navigate. Let's delve deeper into this condition to effectively prevent it.
Why is the stomach prone to abdominal discomfort on Tet day?
During Tet, our daily routine is disrupted, staying up late, waking up late, merging breakfast into lunch, or having multiple meals not at the right time.
During Tet, traditional foods can be challenging to digest: square sticky rice cakes, sausage, and deep-fried dishes rich in oil, while fresh vegetables and fruits are limited.
Various cakes, sweets, carbonated drinks, alcoholic beverages, and stimulant-containing drinks contribute to bloating and indigestion.
During meals, we often engage in cheerful conversations with family, leading to a lack of focus on eating slowly and chewing thoroughly, affecting digestion and putting pressure on the stomach.
What to do to dispel the worry of abdominal discomfort on Tet?
Despite being busy attending numerous family and friend gatherings, try to schedule meals at regular times and engage in moderate activities.
Developing the habit of eating slowly and chewing thoroughly not only aids in easier digestion but also provides a quicker sense of fullness, preventing excessive food intake.
Balance nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in meals by increasing green vegetables and fruits, while reducing sugars, fats, carbonated drinks, and stimulants.
When experiencing bloating, abdominal discomfort, or indigestion, avoid high-sugar foods such as cakes, candies, milk, desserts, and certain foods like pickles and cheese.
Engage in appropriate physical activity. Avoid going to bed immediately after a hearty meal. It's best not to skip your holiday exercise routine as it's the most effective way to keep your body in top shape. Ginger: Just a cup of ginger tea or a bit of grated ginger mixed with warm water can quickly alleviate the discomfort of fullness.
How to make the stomach 'breathe' easier?
Yogurt: An excellent digestive aid, yogurt minimizes abdominal discomfort by introducing beneficial bacteria that enhance the digestion process in the stomach.
Apple: Apples become a digestion-friendly fruit due to their content of pectin, protopectin, and fiber, allowing for the regulation of intestinal digestion.
Peppermint: Similar to ginger tea, peppermint tea provides significant benefits in treating symptoms of abdominal discomfort and bloating. Additionally, you can achieve similar effects by mixing a few drops of peppermint oil with warm water.
Lemon Water: Lemons and citrus fruits contain natural laxatives that aid in faster digestion. Drinking a cup of warm lemon water or eating a grapefruit after each meal will immediately alleviate the uncomfortable feeling of bloating.
