Digestion Problems & Our Diet
Do You Need Help?
Refined Food & Bad Oils In Diet Cause Digestive Problems
Many of us have digestive problems today, due in no small part to refined foods and bad oils we have been ingesting for many years. Even children today seem to have many digestive problems, although it does seem to get worse as we age. Having digestive problems isn't just having annoying heartburn, bloated stomach or gas, it also means that you are not properly digesting your food. This in turn means that in spite of making changes for the better in your diet, you may not be able to digest and assimilate the nutrients your body needs.
Super Foods Added to Diet Known To Help Digestion
Many of us need some digestive help as we change our diets by eating more whole foods and quality fats. Besides some of the other super foods and food based vitamins we have recommended, there are several supplements that have traditionally been used to help improve digestion. These include digestive bitters, digestive enzymes & betaine HCL, Chlorella & greens, probiotics, & B vitamins.
Cultured Foods in Diet Also Aid Digestion
In addition eating lots of cultured foods like yogurt, kefir, miso soup and cultured vegetables in your diet may help. Try drinking 1 tsp of raw apple cider vinegar or lemon juice in 2-3 oz of water with your meals. Garlic, ginger, parsley, peppermint, licorice, bitter salad greens and turmeric can all aid in digestion as well.* With many of these you can make a tea to sip 1-3 hours after eating.
