Belly bloating during Chinese New Year season, Faibakoso can help!

Food is an important part of daily life for Chinese where the Chinese take the most pride in. Not to mention during Chinese New Year, where lots of care and thought is put into the menu for the most important holiday of the year.

Chinese New Year (CNY) is one of the most looking-forward festive time of the year for Chinese around the world! It’s the time when friends and family reunite to wish each other good health, happiness and prosperity. These uncountable gatherings often mean food, more food and sometimes more than we can handle. Ranging from endless rounds of pineapple tarts, myriad of cookies to yee sang of the day, followed by 10-course dinner, bak kwa and processed food; CNY feasting can result in indigestion and constipation.

Most traditional Chinese New Year food is oily, high in sugar and fats content, which will not be the gentlest on our stomach. Such food could slow down the emptying of the stomach and leads to indigestion, bloating and constipation. Not to mention the pile on waistline inches which can be quite depressing.

Natural ways to relieve bloating, indigestion and treat constipation!

1. Ginger and lemon tea to treat indigestion & constipation

Ginger is known to descend qi (vital energy) which is essential for the movement of blood in stomach and prevent contents of the stomach from moving upwards, according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. Whilst lemon is a neutral food that can help the body to replenish moisture. Just dip ginger slices in a cup of boiled water and drink it after a heavy meal.

Ginger tea reduces indigestion.

2. Increase natural fiber intake

Lack of natural fibers, including fruits, vegetables can increase the possibility of digestion problems. Fibers maintain regular bowel function, making it easier for stool to travel through the colon, reducing the likelihood of constipation. As well as keeping us from overeating or snacking between meals.

Faibakoso is your tips for healthy gut.

3. Probiotics for treating bloating and constipation

One of the main causes that contributes to bloating is the gas produced by the bacteria in the gut. Research has indicated that microbiota plays an important role in digestion and gut health, while supporting the immune system. Live cultures known as probiotics could restore the balance of the gut microbiota by reducing the symptoms of common gastrointestinal disorders, such as bloating, diarrhea and constipation.

4. Exercise and get rid of fat

Exercise is essential to get rid of bloating and constipation as it helps to activate bowel movement. Walking a mere 30 minutes after a meal could help you to feel a lot more comfortable afterwards. Furthermore, by getting rid of the excess weight with the fats burned around the abdominal area through exercise, constipation and indigestion could be improved.

Laxatives and antacids are not the only treatments for stomach problems.
