Health Mantra- Tips for Good Digestion - Part 2


Tips For Good Digestion  ( continued )



6. Don’t Overeat if you are stressed out

Avoid eating as an antidote to emotional pain.. Eating excess food of any kind may lead to digestion problems and weight gain.

7. Take Your Food in Time

The later you eat, the harder it gets to digest the food. If you have to have a late dinner, eat a small snack in advance, that way you won’t be very hungry at dinner time.

8. Exercise Regularly

Understand the benefit of regular exercise.

9. Create a Calm Atmosphere While Eating

Relax when you eat your meal. Eating when you are rushed increases your stress and slows down the digestive process.

10. Don’t Drink Cold Water With Your Meal

Drink warm or hot liquids while you have your meal.  Food is digested more efficiently at around body temperature, therefore cold fluid can slow down the digestive processes.
