Dear Daiamon, Thank you for the question
Indigestion, poor or slow digestion can be due to digestive issues like gastritis, IBS, constipation, intolerances or any other underlying health condition. For further diagnosis and assistance kindly contact your specialized health care professional.
Here are a few guidelines for general digestive health.
- Do not skip your meals, have small frequent meals at regular intervals.
- Avoid large, heavy meals, and practice portion guidance.
- Eat a well-balanced diet including minimum 5 serving of vegetables and 1 serving of fruit in a day as they are good sources of fiber and essential nutrients such as vitamin A, Vitamin B, iron, zinc etc.
- Healthy snacks in between meals are preferable.
- Deep fried foods to be restricted. Method of cooking like baking, grilling, boiling, steaming is preferable over deep frying with excess fat/ oil.
- Food should be eaten slowly and chewed well as fast eating provokes gastric feeding reflex.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day
- Engage in physical activity for a minimum of 30-45 minutes for at least 5 days a week.
- Maintain a minimum gap of 2-3 hours between your bed time and last meal.
- Try to follow a good sleep regimen in terms of both quantity and quality
Hope we have answered your query.
Wishing you a great day ahead
