During the New Year, tables are filled with rich and heavy dishes, and it's easy to overindulge. "Overeating" not only leads to weight gain but also poses many health risks. Today, I'll introduce three methods to help you detox from "binge eating."
A few hawthorns
The lipase in hawthorns promotes the digestion of fatty foods. It also helps stimulate gastric juice secretion and increase gastric enzymes, aiding in the digestion and reduction of food stagnation.
A cup of black tea
Black tea has a sweet and bitter taste and is known for its effects of clearing heat, promoting urination, and aiding digestion. It contains an acidic substance that can cause fatty acids from food to precipitate, separate from water, and then be excreted, thereby reducing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. So, after a New Year's Eve dinner with too many fatty foods, a cup of black tea can make your stomach feel more comfortable.
A plate of fruit
The organic acids in fruits, such as citric acid, malic acid, and others, can stimulate the body's digestive glands to secrete, which is beneficial for food digestion. It is recommended to eat some fruit one hour after a meal.
