Holistic Practices to Aid Digestion
No one likes to feel bloated, but everyone loves a good Thanksgiving feast. As we walk away from Thanksgiving this year, you may find yourself feeling extremely full... leading you to wonder what you can do to help your body process all of the delicious food you just ate.
Relieve Stress to create a Healthy Gut Microbiome
It doesn't help that the most stressful time of the year, the holidays, is deeply rooted in huge feasts.
Stress levels and digestive health are closely linked. Floating can help relieve symptoms of stress including poor digestion.
Floating has been proven to reduce cortisol levels as much as a week-long vacation.
Regardless of your meditation experience, you may feel your mind drift off to a meditative state while you float.
Meditation enhances the ability of the Vagus Nerve, fostering healthy communication between the gut and brain.
The infrared sauna is known to reduce stress levels, too.
Absorb Magnesium While You Float
The body absorbs magnesium through the skin while you float. Magnesium is known to calm the nervous system, aiding digestion. It also helps activate and regulate enzymes that break down food.
Proper magnesium levels are crucial, as they contribute to nutrient absorption and prevent feelings of bloating, constipation, nausea, or fatigue.
Dip into a Cold Plunge
By exposing yourself to cold water, the body instantly releases cold shock proteins that boost your metabolism. This natural response aids digestion and can be an invigorating way to counteract the post-feast slump.
Consider incorporating a cold plunge into your post-Thanksgiving routine to kickstart your metabolism and promote overall well-being.
