Top 5 Recommendations for Better Digestion
Top 5 Recommendations for Better Digestion
1) Drink a large glass of water 30 minutes be- fore you eat to help boost digestive acid pro- duction.
2) Eat seasonal and local foods. Go to your local farmer’s market and see what is in sea- son. Your microbiome needs the diversity of bacteria available from season to season.
3) Slow down and chew well when you eat. Digestion begins in the mouth, so chewing well is vital.
4) Do not eat when stressed or upset. If your body is in fight or flight mode, it will not be able to digest your food properly. You could be eating the healthiest diet, but if you eat while stressed, your body will not absorb the nutri- ents properly.
5) Make lunch your biggest meal of the day and eat a small light dinner before 7pm. Jut like the sun is strongest in the afternoon, your digestive fire is the strongest at lunch time. Your body is getting ready to go to bed at night, and so is your digestive system. Do not overload it at night.
