Let’s talk digestion!! Many people suffer from such common problems as heartburn, IBS, lactose intolerance, even gallstones, which can cause several uncomfortable symptoms such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and/or stomach pain
Let's talk about simple habits that can aid in keeping our digestive system healthy:
1. Consuming a high fiber diet that includes whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and fruits can improve your digestion. Ensuring fruits and vegetables have a low glycemic index and maintaining a daily intake of 25-30gs of fiber a day is
essential.
2. Introducing Prebiotics and Probiotics can help build bacteria and microorganisms that support a healthy gut and aids in digestion. Taking probiotics is best before eating for best results; think of them as an appetizer.
3. Drinking water before and after a meal can aid in breaking down the food properly and ensure our bodies absorb nutrients effectively, which aids in overall digestion. Drinking water 15-30 minutes before a meal and 1 hour after is essential.
