8. Chew carefully
Not chewing your food properly can hurt your gut as well.
- Chewing gives saliva a chance to mix digestive enzymes with the food
before you even swallow it. This helps your gut break down the food
easier. - Experts recommend chewing each bite of food at least 20 times.
9. Warm up your food
Eating cold food puts more stress on your digestive system.
10. Sit down to eat
Relax and enjoy your food, rather than hurrying through your meal.
If you’re experiencing digestive issues, discuss them with your doctor. Your digestive system may be able to heal on its own. Following these tips will help you return your gut back to a healthier state and then maintain it.
