A hearty Raclette with extra cheese, and then something Sweet: A delicious Feast is just so right on the new year’s eve Party and creates a regular basis. But the enjoyment of the far less beautiful bloating often follows.
“This is different for everyone – but for many people it can be in fact, that very energy-rich and fat food lies heavy in the stomach,” says Antje Gahl, spokesperson for the German nutrition society (DGE).
Digestion-promoting effect is not occupied
After the Dessert, a brandy, therefore, is often on the table – “to the stomach to clean up,” as it is popularly called is often. But does it really work?
“There is no scientific evidence that the digestion liquor really has the desired effect,” says Gahl.
On the one hand, alcohol can stimulate the production of stomach acid, on the other hand, but also the emptying of the stomach to prevent.
Movement instead of stun
“The perceived effect that alcohol cleans up the stomach, would be more appropriate, therefore, that he has a slightly narcotic effect – the unpleasant feeling of fullness is so mitigated,” says Gahl.
Who wants to help the full stomach really should choose instead of the digestion liquor, rather the walk.
“In order for the stomach to eat can digest, he needs to produce stomach acid, and movement can stimulate the acid production.”
By the way: feeling of fullness after eating is uncomfortable – but no sign of a disease. And it is also not always an indication that one has unhealthy eating.
“It’s not just the greasy, unhealthy food, heavy on stomach legumes, for example, fibre – rich food are therefore, can have the same effect,” says Gahl. However, the unpleasant effects don’t last quite as long.
