The turmeric and other spices, the time of eating, the quantity, and the tattvas, all these things confluence together to make a joyful living.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the busy modern lifestyle has stormed and dusted down our very digestive health. This has impacted not just our present but our future as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To age gracefully, you must have better digestive health. It\u2019s a must. And to have better digestive health, you must start working on it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some scientifically proven tips to enhance your long-term digestive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having an excellent long-term digestive health depends on a few factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The diet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The lifestyle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Immunity&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s start our journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_Care_of_Your_Diet\"><\/span>Take Care of Your Diet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What we eat is what we become.

You should not depend on one food alone. People living in blue zones (zones where people live longest) tend to have a diverse diet containing around 18 different types of fruits and vegetables each day.&nbsp;<sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/okinawan-diet-plan\/\">2<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Befriend_the_gut_bacteria\"><\/span>2.

The higher their number, the better their population. These bacteria can be enhanced using foods rich in probiotics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are some: yoghurt, curd, kefir, sauerkraut, fermented foods such as <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/fluffy-and-delicious-idlis-the-ultimate-idli-batter-recipe\/\">idli batter<\/a>, dhokla batter, etc., kimchi, miso, traditional buttermilk, fermented pickles, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foods with added sugar are a big no.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The recommended daily intake of sugar is around 24g for women and 36g for men<\/em><sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsph.harvard.edu\/nutritionsource\/carbohydrates\/added-sugar-in-the-diet\/#:~:text=The%20AHA%20suggests%20a%20stricter,of%20sugar)%20for%20most%20men.\">3<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We eat 4-5 times higher this amount these days.

Spices were discovered and introduced into Indian cuisine by Ayurveda for their benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Cinnamon helps with digestion, but too much of it causes diarrhoea, heartburn, burping, etc. However, they must be consumed within healthy limits. Consume medicinal spices only when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Food high in spices can easily irritate your digestive tract and create indigestion.

Empowering Your Digestive Fire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Digestive fire can be thought of as the driving force for our body\u2019s ability to digest food and absorb nutrients. It strengthens our metabolism and digestion by improving the secretion of digestive enzymes, stomach acid and bile in the GI tract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To empower your body\u2019s digestive fire you can:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wake up with the sun and practise sun salutations to strengthen your digestive fire<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eat while the sun is up as our digestive fire is the strongest during the day time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorporate all the six taste in your food: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, pungent, and astringent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use spices and herbs&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take light meals at frequent intervals&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Start_your_day_with_Colon_Cleansing\"><\/span>2.

Cleansing ensures that you remove the toxins from your body which enables better functioning of cells.&nbsp; You can do it by:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start your day with warm water infused with honey.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start your day with Triphala drink (amla, vibhitaka, haritiki)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eating high-fibre food like salad<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/probiotic-foods-the-secret-of-good-health-in-your-kitchen\/\">probiotics<\/a> to your food&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Giving_rest_to_your_gut\"><\/span>3. Giving rest to your gut&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A reset or a break is important for our mood and brain. It rejuvenates it, refreshes and replenishes it. Similarly, it is important for our digestive system as well. Give your gut rest by fasting or by sipping on detox teas for a day without eating food. This helps improve your metabolic functions, improve your liver function, and make you feel lighter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can try sipping:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gourd juice, and <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/amplify-your-health-with-the-power-of-amla-juice-and-its-benefits\/\">amla juice<\/a> for detox&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fennel, ginger, cinnamon, hibiscus infused tea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Oolong tea, matcha tea or <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/green-tea-101-health-benefits-and-weight-loss\/\">green tea<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_Care_of_Food_Education\"><\/span>Take Care of Food Education<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The market is stuffed with food items these days. This load can easily confuse us and we may fail to guess their quality. Today, we don\u2019t know what to eat, what the right food is, what is wrong, what might harm, and what should be eaten at specific times. If you want to have better digestion in the long term, you must know the foods you eat. Here are a few tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most processed food is always bad and is loaded with trans-fat plus sugars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spices should be taken within healthy limits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple carbs must be replaced with complex carbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bad fat (LDL) must be replaced with good fat (HDL)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Canned juices and other beverages must be avoided due to high sugar content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intake of lean proteins must be increased<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wholegrains must be taken<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caffeine and other highly acidic drinks should be limited<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And food must be cooked at home as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"End_Note\"><\/span>End Note<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our food choices weave the threads of longevity. What we choose to eat today decides the quality of our long-term digestive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a stronger stomach for life, embrace a diet rich in nutrients, hydrate wisely, and say goodbye to excess spices and oils. Apart from diet, you must <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/the-benefits-of-mindful-eating-for-your-gut-brain-connection\/\">eat mindfully<\/a>, harmonize your meal timings, and dance away stress through exercise and mindfulness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Educating yourself on food is very important. Know which calories are bad and which are good. Say a big no to processed foods and hi to <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/multigrain-benefits\/whole-grains-their-amazing-benefits-that-aid-digestion\/\">whole grains<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digestive health thrives when nourished with mindful choices and time-honoured practices.
