Digestive system

We must take the health of the digestive system very seriously. If it does not function properly, we will never get the nutrients that the body needs and the number of health problems will only increase. Nevertheless, a tense lifestyle leads us consciously or unconsciously to ignore doctors’ recommendations and exacerbate health problems.
There has been a worldwide increase in the number of people affected by digestive disorders. Almost every person on our planet has some disturbances in the activity of the gastrointestinal tract.
It is a rule that medicines do not help to improve digestion. Therefore, before we look at how to treat digestive system diseases, we will discuss how to prevent them.

Digestive system and dietary rules

Good quality nutrition is vital for the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, to improve eating habits, we must adhere to the following basic standards:

• Consume liquids for 15-30 minutes before or 2-4 hours after meals, depending on the foods eaten;
• Consider the right combination of products;
• Manage moderate servings of food. You can not eat until you feel full. We must leave the table with a feeling of light hunger.
• Use fresh products. It is advisable to eat food immediately after cooking it.
• During one meal, we cannot eat many different dishes. It will be difficult to digest them since each product requires its specific enzyme.
• Consume alternating products. It is impossible to continuously eat the same product or dish for a long time. Therefore, taking breaks from consuming the same type of food is advisable.
• Learn how to get maximum pleasure from eating. We should not read, watch TV, argue, or conduct unpleasant conversations when eating. Good mood, beautifully decorated dishes and tables improve digestion in the gastrointestinal tract.
• We should not worry or rush while eating.

A healthy diet is essential.

Eating daily at the same time, 4 to 5 times, in small portions is better, making it easier for our body to digest food. Do not eat too cold or too hot food. Only eat if you are hungry. If in doubt, eat or not eat; it is better not to eat. Eating no later than 7 to 8 hours and at least 2 hours before bedtime in the evening is advisable. Even having a snack on the go, you should carefully chew it. Sitting at the table, do not eat all the food too fast, even if you are starving. Pause while eating. Try to eat in pleasant company and remember that the best seasoning for food is a joke and a friendly conversation.
