Thanksgiving is one of the most enjoyable meals of the year—but it can also be one of the heaviest. Many people experience bloating, indigestion, acid reflux, or that uncomfortable “overly full” feeling after holiday foods. At Connecticut’s Best Acupuncture in Newington, CT, we specialize in helping people improve digestion and reduce symptoms like stomach discomfort, sluggish digestion, and post-meal bloating.
Here are a few simple, digestion-friendly steps to help you feel better after your Thanksgiving meal:
Eating too fast leads to larger portions before your stomach has time to signal fullness. Slowing down helps reduce bloating and supports healthier digestion.
Warm beverages—especially ginger or peppermint tea—can support digestive function and help food move through your stomach more comfortably.
A 5–10 minute walk can significantly reduce post-meal fullness by improving circulation and stimulating the natural movement of the digestive system.
Beginning with smaller servings can help prevent the common Thanksgiving “food coma” feeling. You can always go back for more if you truly want it.
If you notice pressure or tightness in your stomach, that’s your signal to pause. Comfortable fullness—not discomfort—is the goal.
If you regularly deal with bloating, acid reflux, indigestion, or feeling overly full after meals, our team at Connecticut’s Best Acupuncture can help restore healthier digestive function. Many of our patients see improvements in energy, gut comfort, and overall digestion within just a few treatments.
