Top 7 Tips to improve your digestive health

When we talk about a healthy lifestyle, what we think? We think usually about eating nutritious food and doing exercise. Though, we all know nutrition and exercise aren’t always enough for most ideal results.

There are many ways to improve our digestive wellbeing, however our way of life and environment makes it troublesome. Here are some best recommendations to keep your digestion on right way.

1. Use right combination of food

Food combining is the little known secret. When foods are combined properly they enhance your digestion and also help you to lose weight.

There are many ways for right combination of food. To combine food the right way, eat protein with vegetables or grains with vegetables, but not proteins with grains. Also, fruits should be eaten alone on an empty stomach to avoid fermentation and bloating.

2. Take adequate Water

We all know that we should take plenty of water, but I suggest you to drink a glass of water 15 minutes before each meal. This habit will get your digestive juices flowing and help your food settle.

Our body loses water through breathing, sweating and also in digestion so it becomes essential to re hydrate by drinking plenty of fluids, eating food or fruits that contains high amount of water.

3. Eat on schedule.

Taking meals and snacks on a regular schedule can help keep your digestive system in top shape. When you do not eat at a consistent time each day, it can cause stomach to overwork resulting in bloating and indigestion and eating on schedule allow proper digestion of food.

Take your breakfast within one hour of your morning walk, lunch should be after 4-5 hours after breakfast and dinner should be at least 2 hours before you go to bed.

4. Take benefits of Probiotics.

Probiotics are live bacteria and yeasts that are naturally found in our intestine and known as good bacteria. I recommend you to take yogurt, juices, aged-cheese and soya milk regularly. They not only help to improve digestion and to build up immunity. When our digestive systems have been affected by improper foods or processed foods, these digestive enzymes can help a lot.

5. Use dietary fibers.

Dietary fibers also known as roughage basically are the parts of plant foods that our body cannot digest or absorbs. High fiber diets have many benefits they help to maintain the bowel health and help to reduce weight. Drink lots of water, too, too much fiber without water can lead to constipation.

6. Manage stress.

Too much stress or anxiety can disturb your digestive system. Keep you stress level balanced so that you enjoy a healthy life. You can try for some relaxation therapy. There are some foods specially junk foods that can disturb you digestion and cause stress too. If you are having some stress that is disturbing your digestion you should consult to the doctor.

7. Become ritual, have Fast.

Here I’m only suggesting you to take some gap between meals. Give your system about three or four hours to let the food get assimilated.
