7 Natural Ways to Improve Digestion
Food Habits:
Eating less gas producing foods like peas and beans to reduce flatulence&hellip.Have your drink after the meal. If you drink during your meal then that dilutes the effect that the digestive enzymes have on breaking down food. This simple change of habit can be so effective.
Ginger Tea:
Sip on ginger tea throughout the day, and with meals. Ginger is known in Ayurveda as the “universal remedy” due to its many benefits for the body, and it has been used for more than 2,000 years to treat digestive issues. Ginger can relax the smooth muscle of the intestines, thereby relieving symptoms of gas and cramping.Limit gluten:
In my practice, I have seen digestion drastically improve with the elimination of gluten. This is especially true in people with inflammatory bowel disease, like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Eliminating gluten may also improve digestion in people with milder digestive problems like gas, bloating, and constipation. Wheat, rye, and barley are the main grains that contain gluten, so try eating brown rice, quinoa, and corn tortillas as alternatives.Eat your largest meal at lunchtime:
Our bodies are most able to digest food at midday, when we are active. As studies have found, our digestive system secretes the highest concentration of “digestive juices” around noon, making this the best time to eat our largest meal. In the evening, our bodies are slowing down and preparing for sleep. If we eat our biggest meal at dinner, when our digestive fire is weaker, we will feel heavy and bloated and will be more likely to have difficulty falling asleep.
B Vitamins
Eating healthy foods rich in B vitamins and B vitamins supplements can greatly improve digestive health. B vitamins promote probiotics (Greek: 'for life') compounds produced by beneficial gut microorganisms which aid metabolic function and improve absorption.
