Digestive HealthTop 10 Tips for a healthy digestive system

1. Chew food well, and eat slowly. If you eat quickly, enzymes and acid in the stomach have to work harder to break down food, causing heartburn and bloating.

2. Stop eating when you feel full. Over eating causes indigestion, bloating and wind.

3. Take some exercise each day-30 minutes, walking is ideal.

4. Eat smaller more frequent balanced meals to avoid indigestion and heartburn.

5. Avoid large rich meals, especially before bed.

6. Keep well hydrated – it helps your gut function better and prevents constipation.

7. For optimum bowel function, women need an average of 25g of fibre a day and men need 35g. Fruits and vegetables are the best sources of fibre for digestion.

8. Reduce tea and coffee intake to maximum of four cups a day.

9. Avoid spicy foods if suffering from IBS, heartburn or diarrhoea.

10. Avoid smoking and excess alcohol as both can have a negative effect on disgestion.
