5 Top Tips for Digestion

Digestive problems are no fun! Anyone who has frequent digestive issues endures daily challenges due to gastrointestinal disturbances or imbalances. To maintain good health, including a healthy digestive system, it's important to follow a balanced healthy diet and to incorporate some form of day-to-day physical activity. The good news is simple lifestyle changes and maintaining a healthy diet can treat some conditions.

Here's our top 5 for a healthy diet:

• Fiber: Always add fiber to your meals by including vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. Fiber is found in whole grains and fresh foods such as fiber-rich fruits and veggies. Potassium-rich foods should also be a regular part of your diet. There are two types of dietary fiber, soluble and insoluble, and both work in slightly different ways to keep our bowel moving.
• White Foods: One of the biggest challenges people face is avoiding starchy foods. White starchy foods such as pasta, white bread, rice, and potatoes contain refined starches, and once eaten, they release a sudden spike of sugar in your bloodstream. The sugar rush will have you craving carbs again.
• Salt: Reducing your salt consumption is a big step. When you consume foods high in salt, you may experience gastrointestinal bloating.
• Protein: A high protein meal takes longer to break down in the stomach, which means you'll feel full for longer. Try to eat a variety of proteins like beans, fish, and lean meat.
• Water: Drink water or other non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic beverages throughout the day, so your urine is almost transparent.
