Everyone loves eating spicy, sugary and cheesy food, it is very pleasing to the palate but not to the digestive system and as a result we feel discomfort and bloating after eating unhealthy food. However, it is very difficult to quit junk food as the flavour of those foods are irresistible. But eating a lot of junk can affect our digestive and immune system in the long run. But curbing the urge to eat junk food is not the only solution, there are other healthy alternatives like reducing intake and detoxing that can help in relieving discomfort and bloating.
