Special Thanksgiving Beauty Tip

People often use the hollidays as an excuse for gluttony. You can still enjoy your meals just as much and feel much better afterward, by eating more mindfully. Remember that the brain takes about 20 minutes to catch up with your stomach. This is why it's so easy to over-eat to the point where you feel sick later. Simply slowing down while eating will greatly help you to control your portion size. You can still eat all your favorite foods, just less of them.

Gandhi would say, "Chew your drink and drink your food." This is a wonderful reminder that the digestion process actually begins in the mouth, with digestive enzymes from the salivary glands. "Chewing your drink" refers to how the act of chewing activates those glands to signal the stomach that something is coming. "Drinking your food" means that if chewed sufficiently, it becomes almost liquefied before being swallowed, which allows the body to assimilate the nutrients more efficiently. Many digestive problems can be helped or even eliminated by following this simple wisdom.

When it comes to alcohol, try to drink two glasses of water of every alcoholic beverage your consume. You'll be thankful you did in the morning.

Happy Thanksgiving!
