5 Steps to Better Digestion!

1. Chew your Food: Did you know that ideally you should be chewing each bite of food 30 times? This is suggested because it allows the food to be broken down into just the right size particles to allow the salivary enzymes to begin digesting the food. Although it may not be practical to chew each bite of food 30 times each, do pause between each bite and put down your fork in order to make a conscious effort to chew your food.
2. Avoid Overeating: We all have done it; over eaten to the point that you are stuffed and feel like there is a belly bomb in your stomach. The digestive system simply can not properly handle the burden that overeating puts on your body. Be conscious of each bite and enjoy it slowly. Chewing your food properly (review #1) may also help you to avoid overeating.
3. Eat with No Distractions: Mindful or purposeful eating is key to not overeating. Be sure to eat your meals in a relaxed environment without distractions. Turn off the TV and avoid doing other tasks while eating.
4. Pair Proteins with Veggies: Eat protein foods with vegetables. Did you know proteins and carbohydrates should not be eaten together? This is true because they both require different digestive enzymes for break-down.
5. Supplement: To help support digestion take digestive enzymes like those found in VÄXA Digestin!
