Engaging in light exercise such as walking and simple massage movements can help reduce discomfort after overeating and promote digestion. Consuming foods that support digestion, such as green tea, herbal teas like ginger tea, lemon water, and yogurt, can also be beneficial. Reducing stress is important to avoid overeating and discomfort.
Eating too much at one meal can burden the stomach and affect intestinal motility, leading to slow gastric emptying, excessive stomach acid secretion, pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter, impaired contractile function, and reflux. Undigested food can decompose and ferment in the stomach, causing symptoms like tightness, heaviness, belching, nausea, and pain.
To soothe the stomach and reduce bloating caused by overeating, it is recommended to engage in gentle exercise for 5-10 minutes after a meal, about 30 minutes after finishing. Simple massage movements can also help reduce bloating and indigestion. Eating only enough to meet 70-80% of your needs at regular times while chewing thoroughly can promote healthy digestion. Additionally focusing on your meals while avoiding distractions such as TV or talking during meals allows for proper brain signals to be received about fullness.
