About this episode
In this episode we talk about digestion and 7 tips to improve digestion. 1. Make sure you’re eating enough. The more adequately we eat - the more we are able to get adequate nourishment for our bodies as well. Severely under eating - we decrease the amounts of vitamins and nutrients as well that help us process and metabolize food! Although a lot of factors play into determining your intake, you can always check your estimated maintenance intake at www.tdeecalculator.net 2. Hydrate! Water CAN help constipation because obviously adequate water intake will help soften the stool and make it easier to pass. *If you suffer from acid reflux or GERD - Avoid consuming liquid during meals. Water is especially problematic, because it literally dilutes the concentration of stomach acid. 3. Increase time between meals - we recommend 3-4 hours for those suffering from bloating, gas, constipation/motility issues. 4. Remove possible trigger foods - there are a lot of foods that could be culprits, this is where we would recommend working with a coach to best support your gut health. Common inflammatory/problematic foods include FODMAPS, Gluten, Dairy, Sugar, Alcohol, Soy and Eggs depending on the person and their situation. 5. Keep a food and symptoms journal 6. Move more and exercise! Walking is a natural laxative :) 7.
