10 EASY WAYS TO IMPROVE

Using your muscle, especially around the

your digestive system. Without muscle,

EAT UNTIL SATISFIED effectively, therefore causing problems.

Your brain doesn't recognize gastric distention until about 20-30 minutes into your meal. So if you can slow
down, your brain will give you the signals you need to recognize when you are satisfied and ready to walk
away. Bombarding your gut with high volumes of food will definitely cause adverse side effects.

GRATITUDE EAT MORE FIBER

BOOST STOMACH ACID
A common misconception is having too much stomach acid in the gut. This unfortunately leads many to grab
antacids to help with heartburn and acid reflux, only exacerbating the problem. Without ample stomach acid,
the food in our stomach cannot properly break down. This can lead to many issues down stream with the G.I.
tract. Sipping on warm water with 1 tablespoon of lemon or apple cider vinegar before your meal is a great
way to help boost your stomach acid. Symptoms of low stomach acid include heartburn, gas, burping,
fatigue, headaches, undigested food in the stool and much more.

REDUCE/ELIMINATE PROCESSED FOODS


I don't even like to refer to processed foods, as foods. They are imposters to your body and contain little
nutrients regardless of the brilliant marketing they use! They wreck havoc! It takes a lot of energy and
nutrients in order to break down and metabolize these "foods". This robs your body of the vital nutrients.
They are also a huge contributor of chronic inflammation, which is the root of all disease and ailments.

CHEW YOUR FOOD


There are two types of digestion; mechanical processing and chemical processing. The more you can chew
your food through mechanical processing, the easier it is for the rest of your digestive system to break down
those food particles, absorb nutrients, and get that energy to the cells.
