Stimulate bowels

It is known that bending forward can stimulate the intestines and that it is good for your digestion. So grab a bolster (a long, cylindrical pillow) after a heavy meal and get to work to make that heavy feeling in your stomach disappear.

How do you do it?

• If you have a bolster that's a plus, but you can also use a rolled-up towel or pillow instead. The firmer the pillow, the better you can massage your stomach.
• Sit on the floor with your legs straight and place the bolster between your stomach and your thighs.
• Flex your feet.
• Bend your upper body over the pillow and take a deep breath through your abdomen.
• Keep breathing deeply until you feel relief in your stomach.
