India, Dec. 28 -- Eating "less" or more mindfully is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to chasing that flatter-tummy feeling. Wellness creator Ariana Medizade (@wellness.pharm) shares a no-nonsense checklist to support digestion and gut comfort. Fennel and milk thistle tea: Fennel works as an antispasmodic, helping relax the smooth muscles in your gut so gas doesn't build up after meals. Milk thistle, meanwhile, is commonly used to support liver detox - helping process excess oestrogen, alcohol and synthetic chemicals. Meditation: "Stressed people are usually the most constipated," Ariana says. Meditation activates the vagus nerve - the switch for the body's "rest and digest" mode - helping the gut absorb nutrients and eliminate waste more efficiently. Collagen: Often marketed for skin and nails, collagen also supports gut repair. The amino acids glycine and proline help strengthen the gut lining, lower inflammation and aid bile production - so digestion runs smoother. ACV: Ariana calls this the "OG bloat hack." Many people don't produce enough stomach acid to break down meals. A tablespoon of ACV in water before eating may help trigger acid production and digestive enzymes so food doesn't just sit and ferment. Probiotics: With about 95% of the body's serotonin produced in the gut, a disrupted microbiome affects far more than digestion. Probiotics help rebalance gut bacteria - calming inflammation, boosting immunity and supporting healthy bowel movements. Fibre: "You're not bloated - you're full (of it)," Ariana jokes. Along with eating more natural fibre, she suggests psyllium husk, which forms a gel in the gut to sweep out old stool, oestrogen and even traces of heavy metals. This helps prevent reabsorption and keeps you fuller for longer. Walking: Think of walking as digestion's "on switch." It activates the migrating motor complex - gentle waves that move old food and gas out of the small intestine....
