If you want to enjoy your Thanksgiving meal without feeling sluggish or heavy afterward, try these easy tips from our mobility expert.
For many, Thanksgiving kicks off a season filled with festive gatherings and indulgent meals. After each hearty feast, it’s all too common to feel heavy, bloated and sluggish. While it’s easy to blame the turkey for your tiredness and sink into the couch for a nap, there are some simple activities you can do to avoid a post-meal slump. Moving after meals can support digestion, reduce bloating and enhance your energy — leaving you feeling refreshed rather than weighed down.
As a strength and mobility coach who began my career as a yoga instructor, I was taught early on that yoga can aid in digestion. It reduces bloating and discomfort by creating mild pressure changes within the abdomen and gently massages and compresses the digestive organs to stimulate gastrointestinal activity. As such, for years, I’ve benefited from the stomach-soothing properties of stretching after large meals or anytime I experience stomach upset.
