How to survive a feast: a survival “manual”

Holidays are a joy, but for the stomach they are a real marathon. When fatty dishes, sauces and desserts meet on one table, the body may send an SOS. To make the next morning a cheerful one, keep this simple algorithm at hand:

Your checklist “Lightness after the celebration”

Step 1 Start the motility

If you feel that the stomach has “stopped” and food is not moving on, agents that stimulate the motor activity of the digestive tract (prokinetics) will help. They allow the stomach to empty on time.
Step 2 Tame the fire

Heartburn from spicy or sweet food? Use antacids. They neutralise excess acid without disturbing the natural digestion process.
Step 3 Deflate the excess

Does your belly feel like a balloon? Antifoaming agents (based on simethicone) will help. They break down gas bubbles, quickly relieving bloating.
Step 4 Support the liver

A large amount of fat is a blow to the biliary system. Plant extracts (artichoke, for example) help bile flow gently, making food breakdown easier.
Step 5 Clean the system

The morning after a party the body needs a “general cleaning”. Sorbents of natural origin help collect and remove the breakdown products of food and alcohol.

Do you know? “The second brain”
in your belly

Have you noticed that your mood drops after a heavy dinner? That is no coincidence! About 90% of serotonin (the happiness hormone) is produced in the intestine, not in the brain. When the digestive system is overloaded with toxins or fatty food, serotonin production slows down. That is why “heaviness” in the belly often becomes the reason for apathy the next day.
