Digestive Disorders Home RemedyNo matter when it happens, the solution is simple. Change the way you eat and change your diet. What Should You Do?The Right Way of EatingFor people who normally get heartburn or gastritis, do not drink during your meals. This applies to any liquids, including soup. Please wait at least 15 minutes after meals before sipping your drink. If you just have to drink, drink about 10 minutes before meal. But not during meal. This regimen alone can make a great difference.This of course requires a lot of discipline from you. By the way, you must also eat fruits before meal. Most people are doing it wrong by taking fruits after meal. Stress, StressIf you have digestive problem, check when do you eat your meals and how. Because of the fast paced lifestyle, many people tend to eat too fast, when in anger, or in other stressful condition. When this happens, your body will not be able to digest the food properly. If you are sick, eat less. All animals fast during illness. This is nature's law and should be followed.Stay UprightWhat do you do after meals? If you lie down after your meals you are basically asking for trouble. Stay upright for at least an hour so that the stomach contents are no longer being process. Of course this includes eating before going to bed. Remain "vertical" for a couple of hours before going to bed. By the way, if your belly is too tight because of the belt, loosen it. A tight waist will pump the acid to the esophagus.Your DietCertain food and medicine that you take could give you heartburn. Coffee (the oils contained in it), peppermint, red or black pepper, soda and medicine such as aspirin, ibuprofen and other type of painkillers may give you heartburn. So try to skip these and see if it helps. Cabbage may help gastritis sufferer. Apples may also help if you suffer from constipation. Consume more fruit and vegetables. Not only will it supply you with fibers, it could also make you live longer.Food AllergyHumans are not created equal. So certain people are allergic to certain type of food. The most frequent foods are milk and wheat. So, if your body just cannot handle certain type of foods, reduce the amount and see the differenceBallooning the StomachThis is what we normally do during festivals. Don't do it again this year. When the stomach is overloaded the amount of food that the body must process can easily exceed the body's supply of digestive enzymes. Stop before you feel full. Remember, the stomach must not be full because you also need to breathe and move.Also Read: |
