Making dramatic changes to your diet can be difficult to do and even harder to sustain for any significant length of time. However, it doesn’t take much to make a difference; why not start today with the following 5 simple changes that can help to improve your digestion:
- Add a tablespoon of sauerkraut as a side accompaniment to a salad as this is high in good probiotic bacteria
- Ginger, peppermint and fennel are valuable tools for reducing gas and can be added to food as herbs or drunk as herbal teas.
- Fruit can also cause bloating, particularly when eaten straight after a main meal. It is best to eat it separately, either 30 minutes before a meal or at least two hours after.
- Swap your usual fruit yoghurt for a natural, preferably organic, bio-yoghurt to boost your beneficial bacteria. Remember that the probiotic drinks are often high in sugar which is not good for bloating.
- Include fresh papaya or pawpaw (which contains papain) and fresh pineapple (which contains bromelain) in your diet. These are good sources of beneficial digestive enzymes.
