Beat the bloat: The perfect drink to ease stomach inflammation

Niamh Maher

Bloated tummies are the absolute worst, and unless you’re incredibly brave (which we’re not) colonics just won’t do.

It’s the tube, we just can’t deal with the thought of the tube *shudder*.

Enough about colonics… we’re here to tell you about an easy fix to keep that digestive system of yours ticking over and reduce that pesky bloat.

Ginger tea! It’s all about ginger tea. According to Shefinds.com drinking a cup of ginger tea a day will help block enzymes and genes in the body that cause inflammation.

Ginger has been used for medicinal purposes for over 2,000 years across different cultures, and who are we to argue with history?

 

 

Among other health benefits, ginger is said to carry anti-cancer properties as a result of the compound 6-gingerol, which is found in raw ginger. It contains anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities.

The taste of ginger can be a little strong for some people so adding a touch of lemon might help, if you suffer from chronic bloating try drinking a cup of ginger tea daily and see if it works for you.

Enjoy!
