Settle your stomach after overeating

• Drink a cup of herbal tea. This helps to settle your stomach considerably.

• Add sugar cubes in some peppermint oil and drink it after the heavy meal.

• Place
something warm over your stomach. You can use a heating pad, hot water bottle or a hot compress. Often, stomachs feel better after 20 minutes of the meal.

• Lie down and rest for up to 30 minutes. Give your stomach-muscles time to move some of the food through your body.

• Breathe deeply to relax clenched muscles that may contribute to stomach discomfort.

• Take a brief, relaxing walk. Sometimes, light movement aids digestion.

• Treat stomach aches with overthe-counter antacids or antigas medications.

• Finally, remind yourself of this experience the next time you’re tempted to overeat.
