Diet
to Aid Digestion
Lifestyle changes
1. Chew food thoroughly. Most people eat too fast and swallow
air with their food; this causes digestive stress leading to poor absorption
of nutrients, digestive problems like gas and bloating, and possible
growth of harmful yeast and bacteria in the digestive tract (toxic bowel).
2. Drink warm liquid before meals. Drinking warm water with Pectin,
lemon, broth, tea or soup before a meal will prepare digestive tract
for digestion.
3. Avoid smoking, alcohol, coffee, refined sugars and flours and other
irritants. These will all cause digestive stress depleting vitamins
and minerals vital for enzyme activity, and deplete stomach acid.
4. Increase consumption of fresh vegetables. Increasing intake of fruits
and vegetables with high water content, especially raw, will help digestion
and increase bowel transit time.
5. Avoid ice water as it suppresses circulation to the digestive tract.
6. Take digestive supplements as needed. Both Doctor’s
A-Z and Biotic’s make
excellent enzyme products. For example, many people require hydrochloric
acid, pancreatic enzymes, and/or gallbladder support to promote healthy
digestion.
