But it is possible to cope with this condition.

Gastroenterologist Evgeny Belousov explained exactly what needs to be done for this.

It is also better to refuse fatty and heavy food. It is advisable to remove meat, cheese, milk, and bread from the diet for a while. In addition, sweet, salty, and spicy food will do harm.

“Choose light foods, such as vegetables, fruits, cereals, yogurt, cottage cheese and soups,” Life quotes the specialist as saying.

When overeating, you can't lie on the couch. This will only slow down digestion. Therefore, a walk in the fresh air and other light activity will have a positive effect on your health during this period.

In addition, Belousov noted that popular folk methods of combating the problem should not be ignored. For example, a decoction of mint, water with lemon will help eliminate nausea or heartburn.
