My
Tips to improve your digestive system
Tip 1 - Sip warm water
- Sipping warm water the first thing in the morning could promote good
digestion. You can also drink warm water thirty minutes before meal. This will
clean your digestive system and you can easily digest your food.
Tip
2
- Follow consistent eating pattern - As soon as you start eating your
food, start with food which is easy to digest. Slowly move towards the complex
foods. Also, avoid overeating as this is the main reason of digestive problems.
Add fiber to your diet. Fiber is found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole
grains and legumes — is probably best known for its ability to prevent or
relieve constipation.
Tip
3
- Sit and eat your food - This is the right way to eat food. Always sit
and eat your meal. Do not consume food in a rush and chew properly. Sitting in
a relaxed position aids good digestion. Do not consume water after your food
for at least 45 minutes. For people who are facing problems relating to Planet
Rahu are advised to have their food sitting in kitchen.
Tip
4 - Drink ample water
- Water is the best remedy to treat digestive issues and many other health
issues. Drinking at least 8-10 glasses of water every day helps in cleaning
your digestive tract and smooth way to urine and stool. Try to avoid chilled
water and if possible have an earthen pot (Matka) in your house and drink water
from this vessel.
Tip 5 - Lemon water is very beneficial - This is especially beneficial
for people who cannot sip warm water in the morning. Squeeze a lemon in one
glass of water and drink it on an empty stomach. This is another way to cleanse
your stomach and digestive tract. You can add honey in it.
Tip 6 - Chew and take small bites - Take small bites and chew your
food slowly and steadily. This will allow production of amylase, which is the
digestive enzyme, and enhance proper digestion.
Tip 7 - Eat fiber enriched foods - Foods loaded with fiber eases the
digestion process. Hence, do not skip protein from your diet. Add foods such as
cherries, grapes, nuts bell peppers and whole grains.
Tip 8 - Limit the intake of fatty foods - Another way to promote
digestion is by limiting your intake of fatty foods. These foods are more
likely to cause constipation and other digestive issues. But do not eliminate
them from your diet as they are also essential for proper functioning of our
body. Eat them in moderation and try to pair them with other healthy foods.
Tip 9 - Eat foods enriched with vitamin C - Vitamin C is essential as
it softens stool and makes it easier to pass. Hence, increase your consumption
of vitamin C loaded foods. You can eat broccoli, fruits, strawberries, oranges,
kale, kiwi and green peppers.
Tip 10 - Do not avoid spices- Spices like ginger, black pepper and
coriander not only add taste to your food but also are great for health and
wellness. They also improve your digestive system.
Tip 11 - Prefer lean meats - If you are a non-vegetarian, then instead
of fatty meat, go for lean meat. This will help in easy digestion of food.
Tip12 - Exercise regularly - Exercising regularly has many health
benefits including good digestion. Work out also enhances metabolism and
improves our blood flow. This is an ideal way to maintain right body weight.
Tip13 - Do not stress yourself - Stress is another reason that can
cause constant digestive issues. This may have a negative impact on your
digestive tract. Use different stress-busters including breathing exercises,
meditation and all those activities that soothe your mind and body.
Tip14 - Add probiotics in your diet - Eating probiotics is the best way
to treat stomach and digestive problems. You can eat yoghurt as it is rich in
probiotics, that is healthy bacteria. This helps in keeping your body healthy,
