In doing so, however, poor digestion it becomes an obligatory and very, very unpleasant step.

How to act at the table when digestion is tiring and slow
As he points out Laura Quinti, naturopath and nutritionist of Terme di Saturnia Spa & Golf Resort, “Digestion slows down a lot when leading one sedentary lifestyle and, conversely, it improves when the time devoted to physical activity is increased.

It must also be said that during the meals of the winter holidays we tend to exaggerate with the portions of cheeses, consuming large amounts of carbohydrates and very salty, very fatty and very seasoned dishes. This type of food, especially if combined, is digested slowly and with difficulty even when moving. For this reason, the first useful tip is, in the days after party lunches and snacks, to compose unique dishes with small portions of whole carbohydrates or grains combined with abundant mixed seasonal vegetables, steamed or raw, seasoned with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a splash of organic lemon. The extra touch? A drop of ginger essential oil on your plate: has a powerful digestive effect, speed up metabolism and is a real scavenger of the intestine. To further aid digestion, natural remedies based on wild plants and herbs are also recommended ».
