Take a light walk after meals
Spending 10-15 minutes of relaxing walking after dinner is a simple way to help promote the movement of food in the digestive tract, and at the same time, support stable blood sugar levels without putting pressure on the body.
Take a sip of water instead of drinking too much
Although drinking enough water is very important for digestion, consuming a large amount of liquid right during meals can dilute gastric juice and cause a feeling of compression and bloating. Instead, take small sips of water to make your stomach feel better.
Control dinner portion sizes
Overly full or greasy meals will put great pressure on the stomach and lower esophageal sphincter. This significantly increases the risk of acid reflux when you lie down to rest afterwards.
Limit irritating foods at night
Hot food, fatty foods, and caffeine are all factors that easily irritate the stomach and worsen reflux. It is best to enjoy these dishes and drinks earlier in the day.
Develop a relaxing habit before bed
Reducing the brightness of the lights and limiting exposure to electronic devices before going to bed helps the body easily fall asleep deeply. A quality sleep is the golden time for the digestive system to recover and regenerate energy for the new day.
