Enemies and friends of the digestive system

  • ENEMIES of the digestive system: Lack of an hourly eating schedule – insufficient secretion of digestive juices, fermentation in the gastrointestinal tract, hypovitaminosis, micronutrient deficiencies.

  • Heavy dinner/breakfast – poor sleep, daytime sleepiness, lack of self-cleansing phase of the gastrointestinal tract, weight gain.

  • Dessert and fruit after the main meal – fermentation and discomfort in the intestines, hypovitaminosis.

  • Eating on the go and in a bad mood leads to impaired motility of the gastrointestinal tract and inadequate secretion of digestive juices.

  • Prolonged sitting – impaired blood circulation and lymph flow, the formation of visceral fat.

  • Washing down food with water and cold water before meals leads to impaired motility of the gastrointestinal tract, spasm and acceleration of the passage of food through the gastrointestinal tract without proper digestion.

  • Lack of drinking regime – irregular bowel movements, inadequate secretion of digestive secretions and increased appetite.

  • Yeast, heat-treated starch, sugar, excess acidic foods in the diet feed pathogenic microflora, cause inflammatory processes in the gastrointestinal tract, and throughout the body.

  • FRIENDS of the digestive system:

  • Crude fiber – feeds friendly microflora, absorbs toxins in the intestines and accelerates its motor activity. Fiber is: greens, vegetables, fruits, seeds.

  • Warm food and local heat from the outside – relieves spasms, promotes the secretion of gastric juice, enzymes and bile secretion.

  • Fats in the right combination are the key to good bile secretion, intestinal motility, and calcium absorption.

  • Sleeping and eating patterns contribute to the most efficient functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and the absorption of nutrients, the synthesis of vitamins in the intestines.

  • Physical activity – lymphatic drainage in the abdominal cavity, vibration massage of the gastrointestinal tract.
