Chew your food thoroughly and eat slowly: this ensures better digestion and favorable environment for the good bacteria to work.
Stay hydrated: water plays a supporting role in digestion. Adequate water is required for good digestion and healthy gut bacteria.
Consume prebiotic and probiotics: these are natural supplements. Prebiotics are foods that promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut such as banana, onion, garlic, asparagus and many more. Whereas probiotics are a supplement containing good live bacteria such as yogurt.
Eliminate foods you can’t tolerate: if eating certain foods such as dairy, eggs or wheat causes a change in digestion, eliminate it from your diet. Your gut bacteria or gut lining may be allergic to it.
Adopt a good diet: eat healthy for a healthy gut – your food should include more green veggies, fruits, whole grains and quality proteins; and less sugar, processed foods and excess fats.
