Him again ! A magical remedy from our grandmothers, baking soda lends itself to a multitude of varied treatments, from cooking to health. In the first line ? Bloating. Stomach ache, swollen stomach, labored digestion... Bicarbonate cleanses and deflates in less time than it takes to drink it. A teaspoon in a glass of water, after the meal is enough. And nothing prevents you from sprinkling it on your recipes, to facilitate digestion in the long term!
Swollen belly and persistent bloating? Make way for ancestral remedies! Praised by our grandmothers, herbal infusions to better digest always hold up:peppermint, ginger, cinnamon, basil or chamomile are the specialists. Nothing on hand? Do not panic, the list does not stop there! We try gentian, lemon balm, sage, dandelion… or even mint tea. And in an emergency, chew a few fennel seeds to unblock the situation.
Prevention is better than cure ! On a daily basis or before an important day, we ignore carbonated drinks, raw fruits and vegetables, too fatty dishes or refined sugars:prepared meals, industrial pastries, white bread, milk, fried foods... Conversely , we go for cooked vegetables and whole grains. And we drink a good amount of water, to facilitate digestion and prevent the formation of gas. We follow the example of our grandmothers, in short! The extra thing? Beware of alcohol, tobacco or coffee, all known to promote bloating... and welcome to osteo, capable of bringing a recalcitrant digestive system back into line.
