10 Top Tips for Digestive Health

Ten top tips that will improve your digestive health and will help you to stay more healthy. All the ten tips are easy to follow but will produce great effects.

1. Take zinc if you are stressed: It will strengthen the stomach lining against any excess stomach acid.
2. Don’t drink milk to soothe a stomach ulcer: It will ultimately make it worse – opt instead for a specially formulated antacid.
3. Reintroduce the good bacteria to your gut: Do this after a course of antibiotics, as the antibiotics will have killed them off as well.
4. Don’t eat standing up: It will cause you to eat faster, chew less thoroughly and swallow more air, all of which are overtures for indigestion.
5. Dislodge trapped wind with a warm drink: It will expand the intestine and shift the trapped air pocket.
6. Don’t worry if you don’t “go” every day: Only sixty percent of the population have a daily bowel movement. Only if it gets less than three a week should you be alarmed.
7. Chew your food thoroughly: It will stand a much better chance of being efficiently digested.
8. To avoid constipation drink plenty of water: Stools should be 75 percent water and lack of it in the system is the most common cause of constipation.
9. Get a colonic irrigation: It should be compulsory for any man over the age of thirty, as it will shift the layers of crud lining his digestive tract and allow it to function properly again.
10. Eat live yoghurt regularly: It will maintain the necessary levels of friendly bacteria in your gut.
