Living the summer does not only mean sea and heat. It is synonymous with fun, relaxation, aperitifs, company, barbecues and outdoor dinners. Usually in summer people try to eat little, a little for the heat and a little for the preference of fresh foods. But it is not certain that a binge once in a while cannot be done. And the same thing can be said for cheating when on a diet. Even more so when following a low-calorie diet, the stomach gradually gets used to ingesting less and less food. As a result, it is as if it gets smaller and this is why we get used to eating less. But if we were invited to a dinner, a birthday or an event and therefore “forced” to fail, what would we do?
Here is the infallible grandmother’s remedy to aid digestion after summer binges.
Laurel is a precious plant
Laurel or Laurus nobilis o laurel is a plant that grows in the Mediterranean regions and in Italy it is very consumed especially in Sicily. As the Latin term suggests, it is used to decorate the head of a graduate. This plant was considered a symbol of wisdom and it is no coincidence that the most famous representation of the great poet Dante Alighieri sees him wearing a laurel wreath.
Here is the infallible grandmother’s remedy to aid digestion after summer binges
When we make a mistake during the diet or overeat and feel bloated like a balloon, try this grandmother’s remedy. Pour mineral water into a saucepan and add a few bay leaves, bringing it to a boil. We wait just the time for the laurel to soften and for the substances contained in it to dissolve. We filter and pour into the cup to be drunk. It has a sweet and refreshing taste, in addition to its digestive action.
