These days, due to a busy work schedule, many spend long hours in the office which results in an unhealthy lifestyle. Adding to this, unhealthy food choices with readily available food lands us into an even bigger problem with the proper functioning of our digestive systems.
Our stomach- is our own personal blender and second brain. What happens or doesn’t happen here has a direct effect on digestion. Neglecting our digestion means our body will face difficulties in absorbing nutrients it needs.
Here are a few ways in which you can improve your digestive health.
1) Stay hydrated : That is as simple as it gets, but people tend to easily forget to drink water frequently. Water is an essential fluid that our body needs to flush toxins, transport nutrients and provide moisture to our skin.
So, how much water does our body need? It’s not as simple as drinking eight glasses per day. That number is just popular because it’s easy for us to remember. But always remember to drink plenty of water and other fluids, especially after you exercise. Stay hydrated at all times for easy digestion.
2) Physical activities: Exercise and playing games, even if means playing at bingo sites, is important for a healthy mind and body. Without regular exercise, your mind will not be at it’s best to help with speedy digestion. Exercising increases blood flow to all our organs, stimulates muscles, which helps organs work more efficiently.
3) Limit fat : Beyond keeping us from fitting in to our favorite jeans, eating fatty and fried foods would make it hard to digest and automatically slows down the process of digestion. Instead, eat meat alternatives. Switch from whole or reduced-fat dairy to low-fat or non-fat or plant milks, and replace butter with olive oil.
4) Consume more fiber : Make fiber a regular part of your diet everyday. Fibersincrease the weight and size of your stools, which helps them pass quickly through your system. Without fiber, you get the gas and other occasional discomforts likeconstipation.
In order to focus and enjoy our daily activities, we need to take good care of our body and these are the few ways to improve digestion.
