ENDS GASSINESS: A soothing stretch

-

Farm-fresh produce keeps you healthy and energized, but the uptick in plant sugars and fiber can double the risk of gassiness. Thankfully, University of Miami researcher­s have an easy fix—the “wind-relieving” yoga pose. It calms pain nerves and improves gastric movement to release gas buildup, plus cut future flares by 70% if you do it daily. To do: Lie on your back, inhale and pull your right knee to your chest as you exhale, lifting your chin to your right knee; hold for 1 minute, taking deep breaths. Repeat with left leg, then both legs at the same time.
