7 Ways to Prevent Digestive Disorders

 Digestive issues such as constipation, gas, nausea, upset stomach, heartburn or diarrhoea can happen to anyone. 

With proper healthy diet and lifestyle changes, you can avoid the risk of these problems as well.

Here are 7 natural ways to improve your digestion.

Eat Real Food: Avoid diets with processed foods. Processed foods pose a higher risk of digestive disorders. Consuming a whole food diet, which is high in fibre helps improve your digestion and prevents digestive diseases.

Get Plenty of Fibre: A fibre-loaded diet encourages regular bowel movements and prevents various digestive disorders.

Add Healthy Fats to Your Diet: An adequate amount of fat consumption improves the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients. Omega-3 fatty acids lower inflammation, which protects you from inflammatory bowel diseases.

Stay Hydrated: Less fluid intake is a common cause of constipation. Increase your water consumption by eating fruits and vegetables loaded with high water content and drinking non-caffeinated beverages.

Chew Your Food Properly: Chewing food thoroughly helps in fast and easy digestion. This also produces saliva, which is important for the proper mixing of food in your stomach.

Get Moving: Regular exercise will help improve your digestion and reduce symptoms of constipation. And will also protect against inflammatory bowel conditions.

Eat Mindfully: Watch what you eat. Eating slowly and mindfully may help protect against common digestive issues such as indigestion, bloating and gas.
