Usually let the Thanksgiving turkey get the best of you? Re-COOP naturally!

It happens to the best of us - we all tend to overeat during our tasty Thanksgiving dinners. Of course the table is spread with wonderful buttery morsels, carbohydrates, and carbohydrates stuffed with carbohydrates. However, there are some ways to avoid your usual bloating without having to pop two Tum tablets every hour.

Re-coop naturally by:

-Sipping on some hot tea infused with lemon. Peppermint tea is also a very great choice - both will aid in digesting properly.

-In between bites of stuffing and potatoes, try some asparagus or tomatoes. These foods are rich in potassium, and help to regulate the balance of fluids in your body - thus reducing bloating.

-Prepare a meal that includes either cayenne, ginger, or licorice. All of these foods stimulate salivating, which aids tremendously in the breakdown of carbohydrates.

-Using aromatic herbs to relax your stomach muscles, which increases the movement of the intestines. Chamomile, coriander, thyme, and peppermint are great for this purpose. Throw some of these in hot tea or during cooking!

-Eating Oatmeal for breakfast. Oats are great for soothing spasming or inflamed membrane throughout the digestive tract.
