5 Foods that make your Stomach Feel Well

-




As You may already know, stomach is used to digest foods, but what happens if you have cramps or problems? With the Holidays around the corner, here are some ways on how to cure those cramps! (since I experience some cramps sometimes, anyways)

 1. Ginger
Ginger is good for Nausea, it has Gingerol which is a special herb which has anti-inflammatory specials. Also, it curbs a hangover, if  
you feel drunk, or knows somebody who's drunk. Tell them to take some ginger. 

2. Yogurt 
It has bacteria which helps with digestion. Get regular and if possible, get probiotics. Probiotics help you digest food properly. It also has calcium and magnesium. 

 3. Chamomile
Chamomile is a flower which contains chrysin which is very good for anti-inflammatory properties. This flower can be found in hot places like Egypt, Algeria and the Middle East. Chamomile is amazing when it comes to treating stomach ache, helping soothe and relax the muscles that cause the pain.

 4. Peppermint
I love this mint. It's very fresh and cool and very great for if you feel stuffed from all the food from the holidays. It's probably most peoples first of choice when it comes to treating stomach pain. But Beware, peppermint can only be good for treating stomach pain but not with heartburn, (stick with Tums) Peppermint can only relax the sphincter muscle.

 5. Lemon
The lemon is very good. Here's why, the acidity level of the Lemon, which is 2.5 on the pH scale. (science lovers out there) stimulates the production of the hydrochloric acid in the stomach. So acid to acid. If you have enough hydrochloric acid in your stomach, then the stomach will feel better. But, if you want the best remedy possible, consider using warm water, honey and lemon. Don't, and I mean DON'T, drink lemonade and don't request lemon from a restaurant. Make your own!

 P.S. These are only foods that help you curb your stomach but each stomach is different. If symptoms get worse, contact your family doctor. They are the best people when it comes to helping you with your health.

2024

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to wish everyone love this Holiday Season.  This year, I had been hit with several rejections, failures, and breakable moments. Some of wish I'll share below.  I remember coming into this year with hopefulness, glee and the excitement for whats to come. The place I'll go, the people I'll meet and other things that excite me.  That wasn't the case this year. I took out a loan from a loaner company back in 2023, because I needed to pay off the expenses from that year; food, vacations, etc. I had this mindset of 'You only live once, live it while you're young'. That mentality cost me everything. I took out a personal loan thinking I'll pay it all back with the amount they'll give me.  After looking at my bank accounts, I realized I needed to do something about it.   Also, the anxiety of telling your parents and loved ones, confessing to this situation and releasing all the tension and scarcity is painful. Not realizing t...

Ella Clarens is a great friend of mine who we used to work at Nordstrom in 2021.  Oddly enough, we met at different departments, she was working at a different department and I was working as a Holiday Village - creating custom-made Santa bags, selling ornaments, replenishing items, and don't get me started on how many gift wrappings we would need to do by December 24th. It was insane!  I met her because when my department wasn't busy, I usually talk with her about life, work, and her passions.  Picture from: Freddy from Ego Eros Studios Lately, I found out that she is also a musician who released a couple of songs, "ELLANATION", "BIRTHDAY PARTY", and in December 2021, "ICONIC".  Nowadays, she writes her own newsletter which talks about her music, life and her past as a reporter for the Calgary Herald. Also, she spotlights on different people from around Toronto, showcasing talent and interviewing people.  Sign up for her newsletter here:  https://...

First Electric Streetcar in Canada

On May 3rd, I wanted to check out this wonderful (and free!) Museum with a coffee shop nearby, and you would not believe where the first Canadian Electric Streetcar took place in.  Windsor, Ontario. Yes, Windsor, Ontario was the first-ever Electric streetcars that we 'in-use' in Canada. This was back in the mid-1800s, more specifically in 1886.  First Electric Streetcar in Canada Once the city decided to refurbish the vintage streetcars that were used, they coated in fresh paint, updated signs; hanging billboards that were used back in the 60's, and all signs and keep maintenance at bay. They were focusing on making it, not only keeping it looking like a nostalgic piece of work, they tried to innovate the streetcar.  They placed it on a track, with heavy equipment and careful delicacy to ensure the parts are kept in pace, they can reopen it in for all Windsorites (aka city of Windsor citizens) and the rest of the world to open. Me with the streetcar The background behind ...
