How I Relieved My Indigestion Woes in 4 Simple Steps
My stomach would rumble so bad at dinner people thought an alien would pop out and scuttle across the table.
Charging through shopping malls looking for a bathroom was a weekly occurrence.
And I’ll never forget seeing people’s eyes roll when I cut meetings short for the upteenth time.
Good news is I found out the root cause of my tummy troubles and how to fix it. And I didn’t have to waste money on overpriced supplements or undergo drastic dieting to do it.
What I did was implement a four step strategy for revitalising my gut health and strengthening my digestive system. I’m pleased to say that I now enjoy an active life again without scheduling around bathroom breaks:
1.Kept a food diary
Tracking what I ate each day helped me identify some of the ‘trigger foods’. In my case, low fat yogurt, granola bars, and orange juice were among the many culprits.
2. Cut back on sugar
I was never a big soda drinker. But stopping myself adding two teaspoons of sugar to my morning coffee took some willpower. However, now I’m used to it, I think my coffee actually tastes better.
Getting rid of my sugar addiction has made it easier to adopt healthy eating habits too.
3. Ate NATURAL probiotics
I’ve always thought the big claims made about probiotic supplements were hogwash. So rather than spend a fortuve on pills, I’ve been eating fermented foods to give my belly a daily dose of probiotics in their most natural form.
4. Are natural digestive enzymes
Digestive enzymes help the gut metabolise carbs and sugars. But like many things, the body’s natural level of digestive enzymes depletes with age. Good news is there are plenty of foods you can get at your local grocery store packed with digestive enzymes as mother nature intended.
