Lifestyle tips for a healthier digestive system

Many people take their digestive system for granted, only addressing issues when discomfort or dysfunction arises. However, a proactive approach to digestive health can lead to improved energy, better nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.

As a wellness expert with years of experience in gut health and detoxification, I recommend incorporating the following science-backed habits into your lifestyle for optimal digestion:

Hydration & Nourishment

  • Drink at least 1.5 liters of water daily, preferably away from meals, to aid digestion and prevent dehydration.
  • Consume a fiber-rich diet (vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains) to promote gut motility and balance gut flora. Gradually increase fiber intake to avoid bloating.
  • Diversify your diet to nourish the gut and reduce food sensitivities. Avoid common irritants like chili, soy, peanuts, yeast, wheat, and fried foods.

Smart Eating Habits for Optimal Digestion

  • Eat smaller, regular meals to maintain digestive balance.
  • Limit heavy foods such as red meat, dairy, alcohol, and caffeine, which slow digestion.
  • Incorporate enzyme-rich foods (papaya, pineapple, kiwi, mango, avocado, raw honey) to aid in nutrient absorption.
  • Drink lemon water 20 minutes before meals to reduce bloating and support stomach acid production.
  • Herbal teas like ginger, chamomile, fennel, or peppermint can ease stomach upsets, while DigestZen essential oil blend supports digestive comfort.

Enhancing Digestive Efficiency

  • Eat dense fruits like bananas and melons separately from meals to avoid fermentation and bloating.
  • Improve protein digestion by slow-cooking meats or marinating them with fresh papaya or pineapple.
  • Soak and ferment nuts, seeds, grains, and legumes to neutralize enzyme inhibitors that hinder digestion.
  • Chew food thoroughly to stimulate digestive enzymes and break down food effectively.

Lifestyle Choices That Support Gut Health

  • Avoid overeating, which leads to sluggish digestion, heartburn, and weight gain.
  • Do not lie down after meals and stop eating at least two hours before bed to allow for proper digestion.
  • Reduce stress while eating by turning off distractions like television and avoiding meals when emotionally distressed.

Cleansing and Detoxification

  • Perform an annual parasite cleanse with AIM Para90, ideally around the full moon, to eliminate unwanted organisms that burden digestion.
  • Try Holistic Colon Hydrotherapy to cleanse your digestive system, remove toxins, and restore gut balance.

The colonic was one of the best experience I’ve ever had. Ela was absolutely fantastic. She is very gentle and really professional. I was feeling at ease knowing I was in perfect hands at that time. Later on I was given some good advice about a liver cleanse.
