With all the delicious crap you’ll be eating this holiday, we’re sure that you’re on a path to one or two tummy aches, that’s for sure!
All is not lost, though, so here are 5 quick little tips to help out!
Walk It Off
How many times did you get hurt and have some dick just try and tell you to walk it off??
Well in this case, it just might work! Apparently a brisk 10-15 minutes walk can do wonders. Without exercise, the intestines become sluggish — so wake them up!
Acupressure
Tummy aches sometimes are brought on by stress — in that case, acupressure could do the trick. It’s not quite a massage, but the whole process itself can relax tense muscles and release endorphins to deal with the pain.
Don’t Pack It In
Don’t over eat! When you do, pain can be triggered. That means you should take a long break from food. Just like a muscle injury, you wouldn’t push it. You’d rest it.
Probiotics
Don’t just brush these off! A lot of people have IBS (mostly women) and things that probiotics contain really do help! And not just in one area — for all the symptoms of IBS — especially with Align.
Tea
Tea is such a wonderful thing, it’s a wonder why people don’t drink more of it! Chock full of antioxidants, it can also help out that tummy ache!
Especially peppermint tea, because the oils from the peppermint are all about making you feel better.
Plus it’s tasty!
Hope you guys feel better soon!!
