5 healthy ways to improve digestion


Many of us have a weak digestive system. So it is important to know how  can we change our lifestyle for better health. Poor digestion may be due to lack of exercise, stressful life or any other underlying health problems.
Regular exercise
Exercise is the basis for good health, good immune system. It builds stamina and we are ready for the day’s work. First thing in the morning should be exercise at least five days a week whether it is walking, jogging or yoga or any type of exercise.
Avoid spicy food
Spicy and fried foods are very hard to digest. Spicy and deep fried food triggers pain in the stomach lining which causes stomach pain. So avoid deep dried food.


Avoid coffee
 Tea or coffee causes irritation. You may take milk instead of coffee. Take lassi, yogurt or buttermilk as yogurt has bacteria lactobacilli, which lubricate the intestines and helps in digestion.
Take small meals
Instead of taking two or three large big meals take five to six small meals. Taking regular small meals regulates the blood sugar levels. Large meals are difficult to digest. So change your diet pattern.
Eat dinner three hours before going to bed
Dinner should be light and balanced. Avoid high calorie food for dinner as it is difficult to digest. Have dinner at least three hours before going to sleep as this will help in smooth digestion.
