If your digestive system isn’t working well, you won’t absorb all the youth-preserving nutrients you need from food. Keep digestion at optimum levels by building your diet around whole grains and fresh fruit and vegetables and make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Take time to enjoy your meals—enjoyment is key to good digestion.
Stop stressing
Digestion can become less effective if you feel anxious. Whenever stress takes over, stop what you’re doing, close your eyes, empty your brain, and focus on the even flow in and out of your breath. Let this prevent other thoughts from taking over.
Sit down to eat
Allow enough time for eating; sit at a table, and don’t do anything else while you dine. Really enjoy everything you put in your mouth, savoring taste and texture.
Yoga therapy
To extend the front of the body maximizing blood flow to the digestive system and make space for the internal organs try the yoga pose Supta virasana.
When emotions play a part
If you are aware of a link between digestive symptoms and your emotions, consider hypnotherapy. Research suggests this is one of the most effective treatments for any form of irritable bowel syndrome.
Try herbal teas
Drink a cup of camomile, fennel, nettle, or peppermint tea after a meal to aid digestion.
