With so much delicious food available, it's hard to resist...🥮🍡 During Mid-Autumn, eating too many mooncakes and tangyuan can easily lead to indigestion and an uncomfortable bloated stomach 😖 Here are 6 types of foods that can help relieve indigestion and discomfort:
🌿 Pomelo: Quenches thirst and promotes body fluid production, moistens the lungs, cleanses the intestines, aids digestion, and relieves alcohol intoxication; it is also rich in vitamin C and fiber, which can promote bowel movements and prevent constipation. However, pomelo is a cooling food, so those with a weak constitution, who are prone to coldness in the abdomen, or who suffer from diarrhea should not eat too much.
🍍 Pineapple and Papaya: Contain digestive enzymes that help break down proteins in food, reducing the digestive burden. Eating them after a meal can promote metabolism.
🫖 Oolong Tea: Has the effect of relieving indigestion and greasiness; its tea saponins and polyphenols help lower blood lipids, inhibit fat absorption, and reduce fat; moreover, oolong tea is neither cold nor hot, making it suitable for people of all constitutions.
🔴 Hawthorn: Tastes sour and sweet, and is warm in nature. It helps relieve indigestion, reduce fat, and boost appetite; it also has the effect of lowering "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high cholesterol). It can be combined with dried tangerine peel and steeped in hot water for 5-10 minutes to make hawthorn and dried tangerine peel tea, which can strengthen the spleen and promote digestion.
🍊 Dried Tangerine Peel: Tastes bitter and is warm in nature, and has the effects of strengthening the spleen, regulating qi, drying dampness, and resolving phlegm; steeping dried tangerine peel in hot water for 10 minutes can regulate the spleen and stomach, and aid digestion.
