The chilly winter makes most people sluggish, resorting to lounging in the sun or snuggling under a blanket while munching on comfort food. The cold also serves as a convenient excuse to skip working out. All of this can lead to overeating without burning any calories, making one feel full and bloated. As a result, gas and bloating may seem common in winter.
Indian dietician Tamanna Dayal shared a simple home remedy to treat winter bloating. The drink, made with common kitchen ingredients, is cost-effective. Boil ½ tsp of cumin and ½ tsp of carom seed in one cup of water, strain, add a pinch of rock salt, and squeeze half a lemon. Drink twice daily.
These three ingredients help digestion. Cumin contains thymol, which aids digestion, and carom seed also has thymol for digestive support. Lemon juice, rich in citric acid, stimulates stomach juices for better food breakdown.
