5 Tips For Perfect Digestion

Perfect digestion takes place without complaints such as constipation, gas or diarrhea and does not burden you in everyday life.

Not everyone can claim to have perfect digestion. Sometimes flatulence pinches, sometimes the constipation presses and sometimes the diarrhea forces you to sprint to the toilet. But those who eat properly do not worry about perfect digestion – because it is perfect and you don’t have to worry about it.

What is perfect digestion?

A perfect digestion is actually very simple: it is a processing of the food that is ingested, which takes place so “secretly, quietly and quietly” that you do not notice anything except when you go to the toilet.

The perfect digestion is characterized by the absence of:

• Flatulence
• constipation
• diarrhea
• heartburn
• Eructation

Perfect digestion leads to regular bowel movements, soft but well-formed stools and only occasional, small amounts of gas. If you don’t have perfect digestion, you should heed our five pieces of advice for perfect digestion:

Eat enough fiber

In today’s modern diet with many industrially manufactured meals and foods, there is a lack of fiber. Dietary fiber ensures a high volume of stool and nourishes the healthy intestinal bacteria – our actual digestive organ.

You can find fiber in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Make sure to consume your fruits and vegetables with their peel if possible and always eat pasta such as noodles in whole grain quality. A lot of fruit and vegetables also ensure a lot of liquid!

Much liquid

In order for your intestine to optimally process and transport the pulp, it needs fluid. In addition, your body needs fluid to swell the fiber it consumes with food, which increases the volume of the stool and makes it easier for stool to leave your body.

Make sure that the liquid you consume in the form of drinks is basically calorie-free. For perfect digestion, drinks should also be non-carbonated, because your body already produces enough gases during digestion that have to escape.

Avoiding carbon dioxide means reducing gas, belching, bloating and heartburn.

Move

“A sluggish bowel sits in a sluggish body” is a wisdom that really holds true. Those who move also ensure perfect digestion, because movement also stimulates the intestinal activity.

Especially when you are bedridden due to illness, it quickly becomes clear: when the body rests, the intestines usually rests, and constipation develops. If you exercise regularly, you will keep your digestion on the go!

Eat low fat

There is no question that those who eat fatty foods often feel tired and exhausted afterwards. One of the reasons for this is that digestion is busy. A light, low-fat meal with vegetable fats from nuts, kernels and seeds is more digestible and puts less strain on your digestion than a fatty meal with knuckle and bacon.

Please do not avoid fat as a matter of principle, because some vitamins are fat-soluble. However, make sure that if you ingest fats, they are high quality and have been cold pressed. As a rule of thumb, remember that vegetable fat that is liquid at room temperature is healthy, whereas vegetable fat that is solid at room temperature (e.g. palm oil) is not.

Prefer plant-based foods

Vegetable foods are easier to digest than meat. The so-called transit times, i.e. the time your food needs from the plate to the toilet bowl, is significantly longer for a piece of meat than for a plate of pasta with vegetables. Vegetable food also contains more fiber than meat and sausage products, for example, so that digestion is regulated and the intestinal bacteria are nourished.

For your health, apart from digestion, plant-based foods are better than animal-based foods. Fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and other plant-based foods contain phytochemicals, among other things, many of which have been shown to prevent cancer.

Of course, you don’t have to be vegan to do this, but only occasional meat consumption improves health and digestion!

In summary, it can be said that the perfect digestion results from the interplay of several factors, all of which you have in hand: exercise, a healthy diet and the right amount of fluids.
