How to Prepare Your Tummy for Thanksgiving!

As you prepare yourmenus, your invites, your shopping lists, and your homes for next Thursday'sThanksgiving Feast - you should add one more extremely important item to yourlist - the preparation of your own tummy.

Here is why ~...how did you feel the last time you ate a holiday dinner that included hors d'oeuvres, wine, bread stuffing, meat, potatoes, cruciferous vegetables, and pie topped with whipped cream or ice cream?

Letme guess ... Bloated - Stuffed - Gassy - Spacey - Tired

It's not unusual for people to complain about eating too much, and the complaint is often accompanied by whines about bloating and grunts about pain. This discomfort can be some serious stuff! I know! I've been there! - and I want to do the best I can to avoid it - short of depriving myself all of the food. Even if it's organic and whole - the combining of those foods can play havoc on our gastrointestinal system.

So what can we do to prepare our own tummy for these treats?

Two things you can start with right away - this week! (one week from Thanksgivingso its a GREAT time to get on this regime!)

1. - Probiotics

2. - Digestive Enzymes

Additional info:

Take your acidophilus or probiotics on a daily basis to help to populate the gut with some good bacteria - the kind that will help balance the eco-terrainof your internal environment. It's important to take these on an empty stomach - even if you read some labels that say to take with food.

Actually, I have found the less expensive acidophilus (the kind they sell in pharmacies or places like CVS) instruct you to take with food. I would be cautious about them - they probably don't have many or any live cultures in them. If they did, they wouldn't tell you to take with food! Taking a good quality probiotic or acidophilus on an empty stomach helps ensure that the bacteria will take and be 'planted' and not be diluted with food.

Besidestaking capsules of acidophilus/probiotics - there are other ways to get these good live cultures into your belly and line that intestinal track withgood flora:

-Yogurt (preferably plain unsweetened)

-Kefir

-Cultured foods such as cultured vegetables found in Donna Gates material (author: The Body Ecology Diet)

Here's what to do for the bloating and discomfort after you've eaten...

1. One of my absolute favorite products for this, from Young Living is Alkalime!
Mix this white powdery substance in a glass of water and drink down - for instant
alkalinization. I guarantee you will fall in love with this product.

2.Rub some DiGize and/or Peppermint oil on your belly. DiGize is an essential oil blend that balances digestion. Peppermint is good for that also.

3. Take a walk! Even though you might be feeling tired after turkey - get yourself outdoors for a walk around the block - with your favorite family member.

4.Last but not least - Laugh! Laughter is good all around for balancingthe body mind and spirit, and awesome for digestion - so make sure you sit nextto the funniest family member at your dinner table!
