Here's How You Can Naturally Speed Up Digestion

Feeling bloated, too full, or constipated is never fun. There are lots of factors that affect our digestion, such as if we're traveling or under stress. And whether you regularly struggle with digestive issues or only experience occasional discomfort, that stomach pain can range from inconvenient to unbearable. Thankfully, there are healthy, natural ways we can improve our digestion and help keep things moving.

Chew Your Food

If your mom ever told you to slow down at the dinner table, she had a point. "Digestion is the process of breaking down food as you eat it into the smallest particles (molecules) that can be absorbed into your body for nourishment," dietitian Joanne Larsen said. That process begins with your mouth, and when you chew your food thoroughly, your stomach has less work to do when food reaches it. This means food spends less time being broken down in your stomach because it's already in small pieces by the time it gets there. This can also help prevent bloating.

Keep a Consistent Eating Schedule

Peristalsis is the series of muscle contractions that move food to different processing stations in the digestive tract. Essentially, it's the process of digestion from start to finish, and it's triggered when food is swallowed and travels down your esophagus. According to Tianna Smith, registered dietitian nutritionist and owner of Realistic Roots Nutrition Counseling, "Digestion is very dependent on how much we eat. If we are dieting or restricting our intake, that is going to result in constipation." It may sound straightforward, but in order to digest, we need to eat. Larsen recommends eating every four to six hours to keep your body fueled and digestive tract moving.

Stay Hydrated

To support healthy digestion, "Make sure you're eating enough and drinking adequate water," Smith said. Staying properly hydrated is incredibly important for proper digestion. Water, as well as other liquids, helps break down food so your body can absorb the nutrients. While several factors can affect how much water you should be drinking in a day, one suggestion is to take half your bodyweight (in pounds) and convert it to ounces. So if you weigh 160 pounds, you should aim for 80 ounces, or 10 cups, of water a day.

Get Enough Fiber

"Fiber helps speed food along to your large intestine," Larsen said. By eating foods with fiber, you're naturally helping the digestive process along. The FDA recommends eating 28 grams of fiber a day. For fiber-rich foods, Larsen suggests eating fruits, veggies, whole grains, dried beans, and peas. Fruits and vegetables get an extra bonus because of their high water content, too!

Get Moving

If you're dealing with discomfort, sometimes the best thing to do is get up and move. A study that tracked the transit time for food between people who rested and people who exercised found that exercise decreased food transit time by up to 15 hours. Those participants were either biking or running, but even just walking has been shown to help get things moving. If you're feeling bloated or constipated despite following a regular diet with plenty of fiber, the best thing to do might be to walk it off.

Schitt's Creek Is Having Simply the Best Emmys Night - See How Many Awards They've Won So Far

After earning a whopping 15 nominations for its sixth and final season, Schitt's Creek is on track for an amazing night at Sunday's Emmys. During the Creative Arts Emmys, which were held on Sept. 19, the show took home both outstanding casting for a comedy series and outstanding contemporary costumes.

At the Emmys, Schitt's Creek won the award for outstanding comedy series, making it the first family sitcom to do so since Modern Family in 2014. The entire Rose family - Eugene Levy, Dan Levy, Annie Murphy, and Catherine O'Hara - also took home Emmys for their performances. It's nice to see the show get recognized for all the laughs its brought us over the years, particularly with the heartwarming connections the cast has made.

From Dan freaking out over his costars' wins to Catherine finally getting an Emmy for the iconic Moira Rose, each win has us jumping for joy. Keep an eye out on the list below as we'll keep updating their wins throughout the night!

For the Love of Fuchsia - We're All About H.E.R.'s Custom Vera Wang Qipao Dress at the Emmys

H.E.R. dazzled on the 2020 Emmys "red carpet" in a custom Vera Wang qipao-inspired dress on Sunday, Sept. 20, and this look has us seeing orange and fuchsia all over. "So honored to be dressing an artist I so admire and adore for the 2020 Emmys H.E.R.," Vera captioned an Instagram post sharing the incredible look. The figure-hugging qipao, also known as a cheongsam, was inspired by the traditional Chinese dress and featured floral chinoiserie designs and a matching pair of hot-pink pants underneath.

The silk charmeuse gown was also accented by neon-orange piping that made this look truly pop. H.E.R. paired the look with Giuseppe Zanotti heels and Sheryl Jones hoop earrings and made her hair sparkle with a few shimmering rhinestones. "EMMY'S!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL LOOK @verawang my birthday twin," H.E.R. added in her own Instagram post. Check out the glamorous look for yourself from all angles here.

Tracee Ellis Ross Was Glittering in Gold For Her At-Home Emmys Red Carpet

If there's anyone who can turn the virtual Emmy Awards into an outstandingly glamorous event, it is, without a doubt, Tracee Ellis Ross. The Black-ish actress brought the red carpet to her home, and she looked fabulous as ever during Sunday night's show. Tracee wore an Alexandre Vauthier gold tiered halter gown from the designer's fall/winter 2020 collection and paired it with Tiffany & Co. jewels and Jimmy Choo shoes. She's nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for her always-hilarious role on Black-ish, but she's also snagged a nomination on our personal best dressed list.

Tracee is one of many actors whose Emmys outfit will be auctioned as part of a campaign to fund promotion for voting in the upcoming election. RAD (Red Carpet Advocacy) teamed up with Michelle Obama's organization When We All Vote to give fans the opportunity to bid on their favorite outfits of the evening, and 100 percent of the proceeds from the outfits will go to When We All Vote. Check out Tracee's gorgeous Emmys look ahead, and bid on her dress from Sept. 23 through Oct. 2 at Chic-Relief.com.

Issa Rae Teased Her Very Special Emmys Dress With Her "Getting Ready" Robe

Issa Rae is one of the handful of celebrities donating their 2020 Emmys looks to RAD's auction that's raising funds for When We All Vote. As soon as we saw a sneak peek of the number on Issa's stylist Jason Rembert's Instagram Story, we knew it'd make our list of top five looks. The stunning Sergio Hudson design has long sleeves with strong shoulders and buttons that circle the plunging neckline and extend to the cutout at the center. Issa foreshadowed the vibrant color she'd be wearing when she showed us some behind-the-scenes glam moments with her beauty team in a coral printed robe. Looks like she's majorly feeling her chosen color palette tonight. Issa's nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for Insecure, and her look is going to give her every bit of confidence she needs to stand out this evening - no matter what. Scroll down to get your first flew glimpses of her outfit, which she accessorized with Forevermark jewels.

Catherine O'Hara Just Won an Emmy For Schitt's Creek, and Her Speech Was Full of Moira-isms

Now is not the time for pettifogging - Catherine O'Hara just won an Emmy! The Schitt's Creek actress took home the award for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series on Sunday night, and naturally, her speech was full of vivid vocabulary fit for Moira Rose herself. "Thank you to the Television Academy for nominating me alongside these very cool women and for topping off this fun evening with this trophial treat," she said after receiving her prize at the cast's viewing party in Toronto.

O'Hara thanked series creator Dan Levy (who also won for outstanding writing in a comedy series) for letting her play a multifaceted "woman of a certain age" - her own age! But her most "gaudiloquent" praise went to Deborah Hansen, who led the charge on wardrobe and several other crew members whose "munificent venistation" brought Moira to life. She'd be an "ungrateful doddypoll" if she neglected to thank them for their behind-the-scenes efforts! If those aren't phrases straight out of the Moira dictionary, I don't know what is. Watch O'Hara's speech above.

These Stars Hit the (Virtual) Emmys Red Carpet - See the Best Looks Now

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 Emmy Awards are virtual, but Hollywood knows the show must go on. Complete with glamorous red carpet looks, TV's most notable stars, and a star-studded nominee list, the night will no doubt be one to remember. Gracing the red carpet - and popping up from home - are some of our favorite actors, ranging from Billy Porter to Zendaya and so many more. And, don't get it twisted: these guests are still serving some serious looks, even if they come with a stay-at-home twist. Take a peek at the best looks from TV's biggest night ahead.

Jennifer Aniston Wore a Slinky Black Dress to the Emmys, and It's Just SO Jen

Jennifer Aniston is a woman after our own hearts at the 2020 Emmys. The actress stayed true to her fashion roots at the award show while joining Jimmy Kimmel in person at the Staples Center to hand out an award. She posted a couple of behind-the-scenes shots of both her hairstylist, Chris McMillan, and her wardrobe stylist helping her with last-minute touches on her dress before she joined Jimmy on stage. For the event, Jen wore a gorgeous silk black dress that had a ruffled hemline. She finished her look off with a diamond necklace and strappy heels.

Ahead of the Emmys, Jennifer Aniston slipped into her "other mask," aka a sheet mask, while prepping for the event wearing cozy Pour Les Femmes pajamas and drinking a tall glass of Champagne. Total *schmood*. Keep reading to get a closer look at her classic Emmys outfit.

Jameela Jamil Is Relatable as Hell For the Emmys, Wearing No Bra, No Heels

Jameela Jamil has the right idea about dressing up for the 2020 Emmy Awards. The actress posted a photo of her outfit ahead of the virtual award show wearing probably the most relatable look of the moment. While stars like Zendaya and Billy Porter are going all out with their looks for the show, Jameela took a more casual approach by posting a picture of herself chilling on the couch wearing a sequined Markarian robe dress left open to reveal white pajamas.

Jameela captioned the photo, "No bra? No heels? NO PROBLEM. Wearing PJ's to the 72nd Emmy awards (from my house) is my kind of vibes. Excited to see if we win any of the 7 awards we have been nominated for!!!! I still did my make up and wore a sequin dressing gown, because... It's what Tahani would have wanted. And this is her day, not mine." Talk about being relatable! She definitely wins the outfit of the night in my book. Keep reading to get a closer look.

Kerry Washington, Tracee Ellis Ross, and More Are Donating Their Emmys Looks For a Good Cause

If you love any of the outfits you see on the virtual red carpet at the 2020 Emmys, get psyched, because some of them are going up for auction. This year, RAD (Red Carpet Advocacy) partnered with Michelle Obama's organization When We All Vote to put together a campaign that raises money to fund promotion for voting in the upcoming 2020 election. That's right, you'll be able to bid on designer looks - including those from Kerry Washington, Issa Rae, Mahershala Ali, Tracee Ellis Ross, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel Brosnahan, Uzo Aduba, Nicholas Braun, and Samira Wiley - from Sept. 23 through Oct. 2 at Chic-Relief.com.

Ahead, get a sneak peek at the Emmys outfits that you'll actually be able to make your own for a good cause. Of course, before you do send in a bid, you better make sure you're registered to vote!

Meal Prep a Week of Protein Smoothie Overnight Oats, Packed With Nutrients and No Added Sugar

While prepping my overnight oats for the week, I had a revelation: why not use a green protein smoothie as the liquid instead of just plain almond milk or soy milk? I know green oatmeal looks a little weird, but I promise, just like those green smoothies you love, you can't taste the spinach at all!

I used a basic smoothie recipe made with spinach, banana, and vanilla plant-based protein powder. If you just can't do the green color, add blueberries or chocolate protein powder to your smoothie. Each serving of this creamy oatmeal offers 15.7 grams of protein and a filling 13.1 grams of fiber.

This recipe makes five servings for the week, but don't worry - the fifth jar tastes just as fresh and delicious as the first. It has a very subtle sweet vanilla flavor with just 8.2 grams of sugar, but if you want yours sweeter, feel free to add a little maple syrup.

You can enjoy your overnight oats cold, but I actually preferred warming mine up in the microwave for two minutes. With just 329 calories a serving, you can add whatever toppings you like such as fresh, frozen, or dried fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips. I liked making a different topping combo for each day of the week to change up the flavors and make it more exciting.

Sugar-Free Protein Smoothie Overnight Oats

From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness

Ingredients

  1. 2 1/2 cups rolled oats, divided
    5 teaspoons chia seeds, divided
    1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
    2 cups unsweetened vanilla soy or almond milk
    2 cups firmly packed spinach
    2 1/2 large (or 3 small) bananas (fresh or frozen)
    1 serving vanilla plant-based protein powder (I used Orgain)

Directions

  • Get out five clean mason jars or glass containers with lids. To each, add half a cup of rolled oats, one teaspoon chia seeds, and one-quarter teaspoon cinnamon. Give them each a stir to mix the ingredients.
  • Now make the smoothie by adding the plant-based milk, spinach, banana, and vanilla plant-based protein powder to a blender. Mix until smooth.
  • Divide the smoothie evenly between the jars of oatmeal; it should be about one cup of liquid for each.
  • Stir each jar, secure the lids, and store in the fridge.
  • Enjoy cold or warm with your favorite toppings.

Here's the nutritional info for one serving without toppings:

3 Expert-Backed Stretches For Runners Dealing With Achilles Tendonitis

It's easy to simply focus on putting one foot in front of the other when you're running - it becomes meditative, where you're so locked in on the task at hand. But being in the zone shouldn't hinder you from staying aware of your body's cues.

Let's say you're out on a jog when a sharp pain above your heel bone strikes. Then, a dull ache in the calf muscle follows. According to Amanda Olson, DPT, and RRCA-certified running coach, your body could be communicating that you have a case of Achilles tendonitis.

"Achilles tendonitis is a common inflammatory injury of the Achilles tendon, which is a long and thick tendon that attaches the calf muscles to the foot's heel," she explains.

Other symptoms Olson suggests looking out for are the presence of bone spurs at the heel with longer-standing Achilles issues, throbbing sensations in the calf muscle, or a feeling of weakness during the push-off phase of running.

Make sure to listen up - these signs could be the body warning you that your running form needs improving, your feet or glutes are too weak, or you're wearing ill-fitting shoes.

"Often, a runner with weak gluteal muscles and poor foot muscle strength will use compensatory running patterns that create irritation and inflammation of the Achilles tendon in conjunction with overuse of the calf muscles. Improper fitting shoes and shoes that are too stiff can also create running form issues that lend to Achilles tendonitis," Olson says.

Achilles tendonitis pain could subjectively limit a runner from exercising - but there's good news, too. If the discomfort isn't inhibiting your ability to run, it's often OK to continue training as long as you address the driver of your condition with a doctor and get medical approval.

With a professional's guidance, you can build foot and hip strength to promote correct gait mechanics. Wearing proper footwear (preferably sole-flexible shoes that allow for adequate propulsion forward!), and icing your injury can also help, Olson explains.

If you don't talk to a doctor at the first signs of Achilles tendonitis, know that the condition can become chronic, ongoing, and can sometimes affect your walking comfort.

According to Mayo Clinic, Achilles tendonitis can weaken the tendon, which puts you at a higher risk of a tear (which can require surgical repair) if not taken care of properly.

So, call your doctor - we'll wait. Once cleared, start your road to recovery with Olson's stretches for aiding Achilles tendonitis below. And remember: listen to your body and stop if you feel pain.

Meal Prep a Week of Protein Smoothie Overnight Oats, Packed With Nutrients and No Added Sugar

While prepping my overnight oats for the week, I had a revelation: why not use a green protein smoothie as the liquid instead of just plain almond milk or soy milk? I know green oatmeal looks a little weird, but I promise, just like those green smoothies you love, you can't taste the spinach at all!

I used a basic smoothie recipe made with spinach, banana, and vanilla plant-based protein powder. If you just can't do the green color, add blueberries or chocolate protein powder to your smoothie. Each serving of this creamy oatmeal offers 15.7 grams of protein and a filling 13.1 grams of fiber.

This recipe makes five servings for the week, but don't worry - the fifth jar tastes just as fresh and delicious as the first. It has a very subtle sweet vanilla flavor with just 8.2 grams of sugar, but if you want yours sweeter, feel free to add a little maple syrup.

You can enjoy your overnight oats cold, but I actually preferred warming mine up in the microwave for two minutes. With just 329 calories a serving, you can add whatever toppings you like such as fresh, frozen, or dried fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, shredded coconut, or chocolate chips. I liked making a different topping combo for each day of the week to change up the flavors and make it more exciting.

Sugar-Free Protein Smoothie Overnight Oats

From Jenny Sugar, POPSUGAR Fitness

Ingredients

  1. 2 1/2 cups rolled oats, divided
    5 teaspoons chia seeds, divided
    1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
    2 cups unsweetened vanilla soy or almond milk
    2 cups firmly packed spinach
    2 1/2 large (or 3 small) bananas (fresh or frozen)
    1 serving vanilla plant-based protein powder (I used Orgain)

Directions

  • Get out five clean mason jars or glass containers with lids. To each, add half a cup of rolled oats, one teaspoon chia seeds, and one-quarter teaspoon cinnamon. Give them each a stir to mix the ingredients.
  • Now make the smoothie by adding the plant-based milk, spinach, banana, and vanilla plant-based protein powder to a blender. Mix until smooth.
  • Divide the smoothie evenly between the jars of oatmeal; it should be about one cup of liquid for each.
  • Stir each jar, secure the lids, and store in the fridge.
  • Enjoy cold or warm with your favorite toppings.

Wondering Why You Recognize That Scary Music in Ratched? It's Pulled From a Classic Thriller

Image Source: Everett Collection

Netflix's Ratched includes a few callbacks to iconic horror properties that came before it. This story, based on Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, not only plays up bold significant colors of red and green but also relies heavily on intense music throughout. Longtime Ryan Murphy collaborator Mac Quayle took the reins for this project, and if you thought some of the music sounds familiar, there's a reason.

Right off the bat, Ratched takes inspiration from the film Cape Fear specifically when it comes to the score. Throughout the first season, you'll hear not just snippets from the iconic score of the original film and its remake but also new music inspired by it. The music from the original Cape Fear was composed by Bernard Herrmann for the 1962 film. For the 1991 remake, directed by Martin Scorsese, Elmer Bernstein took Herrmann's original score and adapted it for the new film. In Ratched, you can easily hear inspiration from both (which naturally still sound very similar and very, very intense).

Cape Fear, based on the novel The Executioners, is a psychological thriller with the same darkness as Ratched, though not nearly as much gore. It tells the story of a convicted rapist seeking revenge against the man who put him away. When you take a look at the very basic storyline, you can see how similar it feels to Edmund Tolleson seeking his own revenge in Ratched. It's worth pointing out that the places the Cape Fear score pop up in Ratched are largely tied to Edmund's violence, like in episode two when Father Andrews is recalling the night that Edmund killed the four Catholic priests he lived with. This is probably the most prominently displayed instance of the Cape Fear soundtrack, but listen closely elsewhere in the show for inspiration and samples of the music.

Listen to Herrmann's original theme for 1962's Cape Fear below, and check out Bernstein's adaptation here. We'll have to wait to see if the show gets a season two before we'll know if the thematic music will stick around.
