Always eat small portions
One thing is certain if you want to avoid holiday belly bloat: when it comes to the all-you-can-eat buffet line, choose a smaller dish and concentrate on filling it with veggies and lean foods. Taste each traditional dish in small bites, especially if there are more than three different foods.
Limit alcoholic beverages
It should come as no surprise that cutting back on alcohol consumption if not eliminating it, can help you avoid holiday belly bloat. Even while enjoying alcoholic beverages over the holidays is common, doing so just after a large meal might exacerbate gastric swelling.
Alcohol is an irritant that can cause digestion to slow down and water retention to rise, leaving you feeling fatigued. Additionally, it may cause the body to enlarge, which may cause bloating, discomfort, and gas. Try not to have more than half a glass if at all feasible.
