Iran Press/America: According to Healthline.com, here are 8 evidence-based ways to improve your digestion naturally.
1. Eat real food
Processed foods have been linked to a higher risk of digestive disorders. Eating a diet low in food additives, trans fats, and artificial sweeteners may improve your digestion and protect against digestive diseases.
2. Get plenty of fiber
It’s common knowledge that fiber is beneficial for good digestion.
Soluble fiber absorbs water and helps add bulk to your stool. Insoluble fiber acts like a giant toothbrush, helping your digestive tract keep everything moving along
3. Add healthy fats to your diet
Adequate fat intake improves the absorption of some fat-soluble nutrients. What’s more, omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, which may prevent inflammatory bowel diseases.
4. Stay hydrated
Increase your water intake by drinking non-caffeinated beverages and eating fruits and vegetables that have high water content.
5. Manage your stress
Stress negatively impacts your digestion and has been linked to IBS, ulcers, constipation, and diarrhea. Reducing stress can improve digestive symptoms.
6. Eat mindfully
Mindfully and paying attention to every aspect of your food, such as texture, temperature, and taste, may help prevent common digestive issues such as indigestion, bloating, and gas.
7. Chew your food
Chewing food thoroughly breaks it down so that it can be digested more easily. The act also produces saliva, which is needed for the proper mixing of food in your stomach.
8. Get moving
Exercise may improve your digestion and reduce symptoms of constipation. It can also help reduce inflammation, which may be beneficial in preventing inflammatory bowel conditions.
