1. Hydrate

Water is essential for your digestion. Staying well-hydrated throughout the day can help all functions of your digestive tract work smoothly, as well as encourage circulation. Try starting your day out right by drinking a glass of warm (or room-temperature) water after you wake up!

2. Add probiotics to your diet

Probiotics help maintain balance in your gut microbiome. When it’s full of good bacteria, it can support optimal digestion. Probiotics are helpful for bloating, which is common on Thanksgiving! Eating fermented foods and taking a probiotic supplement help gut bacteria maintain beneficial levels.

3. Chew your food more 

Chewing is an important part of digestion. In fact, carbohydrate digestion begins in the mouth with an enzyme called salivary amylase. If you aren’t chewing your food properly, that initial step of digestion gets hindered. Additionally, the more you chew your food, the slower you eat, and the slower you eat, the greater awareness you will have when you feel full. Savor every bite so you can enjoy a healthy amount of food and not put extra stress on your digestive system, which won’t feel comfortable!
