Stomach Bloating: Shortly after eating food, flatulence, the feeling of heaviness in the stomach or feeling sleepy... These are some of the symptoms, which point towards slow digestion. These problems not only have a bad effect on your health, the productivity of your daily life also decreases. That's why it is necessary to boost digestion. If you want, you can improve your digestion even without taking medicines, and for this, you just have to keep in mind the basic rules of eating while eating...
How to improve digestion without medicines?
The basic rule of eating is made up of 5 small points. If you keep these small things in mind every time while eating food, your digestion will improve without medicines.
1. Have a sit-down meal
While eating food, sit at one place and eat. Eating while standing is not beneficial for health in any way. Whenever you are at home, try to sit on the floor and eat food in the traditional Indian style.
2. Keep the mind calm
You may find it strange what a calm mind has to do with digestion. But the calmness of the mind while eating is directly related to digestion. Because when you eat with a calm mind, the secretion of hormones required to digest food and boost digestion in the body takes place properly and the balance of Acid-Alkali is maintained.
3. Do not take dental work from the intestines
Food should always be eaten slowly and chewed thoroughly. It is recommended in Ayurveda to chew one core 32 times for proper digestion. Although we know that doing so is not possible for everyone in today's time. But you must eat the food after chewing it properly so that the ground and soft food reach the intestines and your intestines do not have to do the work of the teeth, which means you do not have to work hard to grind the food. Doing this will also boost digestion.
4. The brain needs time
Whatever you eat, it takes 20 minutes for the brain to register that food, understand its correct quantity and nutrition etc. Only then your brain is able to give you the signal that the bus is not needed anymore. But when you eat food very quickly, while watching TV or on mobile, then by the time the brain gives you the signal to fulfil your need, you have overeaten.
5. Use of Enzymes and Senses
While chewing food properly, the enzymes produced in the mouth help a lot in digesting it. Also, when you eat food with all your senses i.e. senses i.e. seeing, smelling, feeling, tasting etc., then the body is able to absorb the nutrients from this food very well and this also improves digestion.
