Five easy ways to improve digestion

The human gut is an amazing system of intake, distribution, and elimination. It’s always at work on your behalf, and its balancing act of separating the nutrients you need from the lump you don’t is something we should never take for granted.

Here are a few easy ways to improve your digestion,

Start the day with hot water and lemon

Set yourself up for success by giving your body space to breathe first thing upon waking. So, trade in your first cup of coffee for a mug of hot water and a squeeze of lemon juice, which really helps to jump-start digestion. Lemons are a great source of vitamin C, and hydration is crucial for digestion.

Add in probiotics.

Probiotics are the “good” bacteria that live in our gut and are necessary for digestive health. Fermented foods, such as yogurt, contain these bacteria naturally. Research suggests that they can help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal conditions, like constipation and irritable bowel syndrome.

Throw the junk food

Wave bye-bye to processed white foods i.e. sugar-laden, fiber-free snacks and treats that give you all the side effects of empty calories and none of the nutritional benefits of “real” food. Real food is gut-happy food. Embrace whole grains and dark leafy greens. Fill your fridge with real food in all the colors of the rainbow, your body, and your tummy, will thank you later.

Fill up with fiber.

Fruits, veggies, and whole grains are the best sources of the natural dietary fiber essential to a healthy diet and healthy digestion. Fiber not only keeps us from overeating, it also helps to keep us regular. A fiber-rich diet can help a lot aid in constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and other gut-related conditions.

Spice up your life.

Spices have been used for thousands of years to settle a queasy tummy or soothe indigestion. Followers of the natural healing practices of Ayurvedic medicine consider ginger to be at the forefront of helping your digestion succeed, and research also suggests that ginger can be a great tummy-tamer.
