CHEW!
Everyone has heard this a million times before. Something to consider is this; how difficult do you imagine it is for your body to process foods which are still solid or barely chewed? It must work so much harder. In your mouth is where the process known as digestion starts. Your saliva is full of digestive enzymes which get food breaking down before it enters the next stage. If the food is not broken down well, it makes your stomach’s job a whole lot harder.
By savoring the textures and flavors of the foods you eat, you can slow down and give them the proper chewing time they need. Munch on your favorite foods and even your not so favorite foods to give the digestive process the best start.
While You Eat and use Water to Hydrate
In order to keep the mechanics of our digestive systems in working order it is essential to have plenty of water which is pure and fresh, constipation can be avoided if this is practiced all the time. When you drink liquid as you’re eating, digestive enzymes are diluted, digestive fire is put out or at least, dulled, leading to making things hard on the stomach. Nutrients won’t be taken in as well and the stomach may ache as it deals with digesting foods with little help from enzymes. The recovery time may take a while and this leads to problems evacuating the bowels. How can you get the amount of water recommended into your system each day? When you first wake up, drinking water is recommended. In between meals is also a great way to get that water in. Try to drink it about thirty minutes or so before you eat. Exercising your body as you do it is also recommended.
