Follow these smart holiday eating tips for good vibes and good health this holiday season

The holiday season is a time for festive indulgence, such as sharing lavish feasts with our loved ones. Eating during the holidays often means multiple courses, festive drinks, and special recipes that entice you to eat more, which may lead to digestive discomfort such as bloating or indigestion.
