How to aid digestion in case of overeating?

2 posts in this topic

It happens that I eat a lot or mix the foods that are better eaten separately (for example fruits with porridges). If it is happens in the evening my sleep will be disrupted and I'll have chain reaction for the week to come.

How do I neutralize the feeling of heaviness and digest food as quickly as I can?

Here some ideas that I've already came up with:

  • Sitting in vajrasana (or japanese pose). When you seat in this pose, the blood flow to the legs decreases, therefore the blood flow to the rest part of the body including stomach improves. Seems to help
  • In systematic yoga book-course they gave the technique to swallow the air as the oxygen improves digestion. The air belches out after few minutes. It seems to help

@Lila9 I find that drinking anything when I've overeated elongates the digestion process as it flushes the stomach juice down the stream so the digestive process must start from scratch.
