Tips For An Effective Working Gi Tract

How often do you think about the manner of eating for supporting a normal work of gastrointestinal tract? Having read this article, you will understand that you ate wrong until now. The rules are simple; their implementation does not demand from you any special efforts.

1. Do not eat immediately after the sport trainings or hard work. Let at least thirty minutes pass. Too intensive feelings are also harmful for digestion, so at first calm down a bit, and then proceed to eating.

2. Drink all the liquids wanted before the meal and drink nothing during 1-2 hours after. Also do not wash meal down. The food in the mouth is processed with the saliva. If it is washed down, saliva effuses scarcely and moreover you are likely to have not chewed it properly. Carefully chew your food and do not drink after. You can wash it down only in some extreme cases and just a bit. Any liquid taken during a meal makes gastric juice too fluidus and interferes with the normal meal digestion. Food stays in a stomach until the body exudes new gastric juice and enzymes. But at this time food will have already started "spoiling" straight in your stomach. Besides, it is an additional and not necessary load for a gastrointestinal tract. For digesting identical amounts of meal one needs eight hundred gr of gastric juice without washing food down, or up to two liters in case you drank after eating! You can allow yourself to drink not less than thirty minutes before a meal.

3. Eat only in a good mood. The state of the nervous system influences exudation of gastric juice. Therefore, if you do not want to get indigestion, treat this advice seriously.

4. Before a basic meal eat some raw vegetables or fruits. You can eat them both as salads or wholly. Their getting in a hungry stomach will start all digestion processes. Apples, cabbage (pickled is acceptable), cucumbers, carrot, bell pepper are great for this purpose.

5. Do not eat too hot or too cold food and also any unusual meal in great amounts. A hot meal destroys a greater part of digestive enzymes, and at a low temperature enzymes do not work. So an organism needs to spend some additional energy to "warm-up" a meal and digestion will start only after it. If you decided to try an exotic dish, do not hurry to load up with it. The digestive system must also get used to the new product.

6. Do not eat raw green-stuffs together with a boiled, stewed or baked meal. Such combination complicates the work of stomach and causes putrid processes. Similarly it is not useful to finish your meal with fruit.

7. During a meal do not hurry. Chew everything properly. Make a five-minute break between the first dish and the second one. A meal must take not less than thirty minutes.

8. Do not hurry at a gym immediately after eating. The best that can be done is to go for a walk at least for fifteen minutes. Lying after a heavy meal is also not desirable. If your work is related to the physical loadings, thirty minutes must pass between a meal and a work. And go for sport only after an hour.

9. Eat only when you are hungry. If you start chewing anything not being hungry, the quality of food digestion will significantly decrease. And load on a gastrointestinal tract will be permanent. These organs also need some rest. A physiological hunger comes when the level of glucose falls in blood - the brain gets a signal that it is time to eat. If you like to grasp different stuff between meals, "purge" your organism and take dietary supplements for normalization of metabolism. Such measures will help you to take hold from a desire to have a bite.
