How to Improve Your Digestion Fast

When your digestive system works at peak efficiency, you will maximize your well-being, because your body will more efficiently absorb the vitamins and mineral essential to optimal health. There are five important changes you would need to make if you want to improve your digestion.

First of all, you need to be more conspicuous about your food choices. Eat very simple meals with variety of vegetables, do not forget to get protein from lean meets or tofu, stay away from sugar and white bread, drink 2 liters of water daily, and follow food combination rules. These 2 rules of proper food combining are very easy to remember:

1. Remember: cold beverages slow the digestion process! Consume liquids along, or consume liquids first then wait 10-15 minutes before eating
2. Do not combine dense proteins (nuts, avocado, meat, fish, dairy products) with dense starches (potatoes, beans, grains, peas, artichokes, corn)

Second, enzymes are essential for all chemical processes in the body including digestion. The best source of enzymes is fresh fruits. The food pyramid requires two to three servings of fruits daily. While fruits are good for you, you should not eat a fruit salad. Remember 2 rules of fruit combining:

1. Do not combine acid fruits (citrus, plums, pineapple, strawberries, oranges) with sweet fruits (bananas, figs, persimmons)
2. It is better to eat any kind of fruit along – do not mix fruits

Third, in order to enhance your digestion you need to chew until your food is liquefied in your mouth. Digestion of carbohydrates begins in the mouth. To liquefy food we sometimes need to chew 20 or 30 times, this is why eating and on the run, in front of the TV, or making meal time social time, can divert attention from chewing process.

Fourth, a proper colon cleanse speeds up the digestion by removing toxic build up from the wall of the colon. Build up happens because most of us do not eat enough dietary fiber. Build up hinders digestion and absorption of nutrients leading to many health problems. It is important to now that a good colon cleanse contains powerful herbs that assist the body with the elimination of unwanted organisms.

Fifth, probiotics should be taken to maintain the natural balance of organisms in the intestines. It is especially important while doing colon cleanse. Lactic acid bacteria is the largest group of probiotic bacteria in the intestine. Some of them can be found in yogurt or available as dietary supplements.

There are various degrees of health that can be obtained by controlling the diet. To learn more about the colon cleanse that I am using, visit the website of Mary Waltraut MyCleansingProgram.com.
