We cannot deny the love for eating food when it is desirable can sometimes lead to discomfort to yourself, not knowing the habit of overeating or eating too quickly can lead to indigestion.
And as we age and so does our body, you have to realise that many bodily functions will slow down, including our digestive tract which might not work as efficiently as before. So we are leaving you with FIVE key steps so that you can improve in this area and give our tummy some good love.
- Have fiber, your fuel for a healthy colon.
Fiber helps to keep the digestive tract flowing and keeps your bowel movements soft and regular.
- Avoid food that triggers heartburn and indigestion.
Dairy or spicy food may cause the worst stomach problem, try eliminating it if it triggers stomach discomfort.
- Keep Active.
Exercise and physical activity help prevent constipation. For instance, try to take a 30-minute walk during the day by taking the staircase instead of the lift. Or if walking is not your thing, opt for some indoor cardio to sweat!
- Check your medication.
Some over-the- counter medicine and drugs can cause digestive problems such as diarrhea. Make sure you consult your doctor or the pharmacist at the counter to get better advice, let’s not assume with medicines as it may vary for every individual.
- Consider supplements.
Probiotic supplements contain good bacteria, which is beneficial to gut health. Supplements which consist of digestive enzymes as it aids the body’s natural digestive process.
