Avoiding Holiday Bloating

Avoiding Holiday Bloating

This holiday season while everyone enjoys family and friends, their digestive system has to survive all the holiday food. The stomach has to successfully digest everything eaten from cookies and cakes to turkey and ham. Give the digestive system the simple nutrition it needs to survive the holiday season. With proper digestive support the holiday season can be a wondrous and joyous time.

Digestive enzymes are helpful to prevent that holiday stuffed and bloated feeling when big meals are eaten. The gas, bloating and indigestion that can occur after large meals can indicate missing digestive enzymes. It is not too much acid that can cause acid reflux, but rather an insufficient amount of digestive acid.

Fermentation of the food will occur when the body fails to make enough digestive enzymes to break down the food that is eaten. It is the fermentation process that produces the gas, bloating and acid reflux. The solution is to make sure that there are sufficient digestive enzymes available in supplemental form. An alternative to taking tablets or pills is to use apple cider vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a fermentation product of pulverized apples.  The primary active ingredient is “acetic acid”. Apple cider vinegar often helps relieve the symptoms of heartburn and reflux that can be related to insufficient levels of stomach acid. It is most effective when consumed before meals as an aid to digestion.

Having sufficient digestive enzymes enables your body to utilize the nutrients from the food you eat.
