Suffering From Bloating? Make This Natural Drink Every Morning
Bloating, a swollen stomach, sluggish digestion...We can help with that.
There's a new drink we're sipping on this summer. It's a blend that activates the digestive system, soothes inflammation, and promotes good gut health.
Made with ginger, lemon, honey, and chia seeds, this easy-to-prep homemade drink works wonders. These four ingredients are known for their digestive benefits:
- Lemon, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, stimulates bile production and promotes good digestion. Its natural acidity also helps balance the stomach's pH.
- Ginger, a powerful anti-inflammatory, is known to relieve nausea, activate digestion, and reduce bloating. It also helps calm intestinal spasms.
- Unpasteurized honey has prebiotic properties that nourish our intestinal flora. It also acts as a natural stomach soother.
- Chia seeds, rich in soluble fibre, swell upon contact with water and promote healthy bowel movements. They also contribute to better satiety and blood sugar regulation.
