4 Ways to Improve your Digestion Naturally | Integrative Functional medicine NYC | Long Island

The digestive tract is an important part of your body. Due to the way of life we lead, the food we eat and our everyday habits, our digestive tract is full of toxins and waste material. This leads to more serious conditions and problems. Therefore, we must pay attention to our health and well-being and to detoxification of our gut and Liver cleanse.

4 ways

Hydration

Insufficient fluid intake is one of the most common causes of chronic constipation. It’s quite simple. Our bodies need water to move food through our intestines. Experts recommend between 8-15 8 oz. glasses a day depending on your activity levels. Another way to help you stay properly hydrated is by eating our water through fruits and vegetables high in water (cucumber, celery, watermelon, berries, and citrus fruits)

Healthy Fats

Proper digestion requires eating healthy fats. When we consume foods with omega-3 fatty acids they increase leptin (a hormone that makes us feel full). In addition, they help absorb nutrients properly (including fat soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K) which ultimately leads to decreased gut inflammation and improved digestio

Fiber

Most people know that fiber is important for regularity and optimum health but did you know that the average American only eats around 15g of fiber daily? Women need 25g of fiber daily and men need 38g, according to the Institute of Medicine. Fiber deficiency can lead to constipation, low energy, obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes. A diet rich in fiber is essential for much more than regularity so add a few more beans, whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables to your menu and enjoy the many health benefits that will follow

Move

Inactivity can be stopping you up! In fact, regular exercise is essential for healthy bowel movement. Studies have shown that people who exercise regularly have better gut transit time and are able to move things along quicker. The exercise can be as simple as 30 minutes of walking daily for improved results. Stretching and yoga can be beneficial as well
