Whatever you eat must pass through your digestive system. You can choose to give your digestive system an easy or hard time. Plant-based foods are easier for your body to digest and the body easily absorbs their nutrients without having to fight through chemicals, hormones, or processed ingredients. Your body can digest fruits and vegetables in about 24 hours, but it can take up to 72 hours to digest bread or meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are little things you can do every day to make sure your digestive system is functioning optimally. From drinking more water<\/a> to incorporating more probiotics in your diet, small lifestyle changes can give your digestive system a helping hand. Try the following tips and let us know if they worked for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rich in fiber and other nutrients, watermelon seeds are a great digestive aid<\/a>. They actually boost the entire digestive system when they pass through the digestive tract, and can help eradicate intestinal parasites<\/a> from your system. Don\u2019t just pop them in your mouth and swallow them, though. You do have to cook them, roast them, or grind them up to reap their benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maintaining a regular eating schedule can keep your digestive system in tiptop shape, provided you aren\u2019t shoving unhealthy foods in your body. Consuming healthy, plant-based meals and snacks at the same times every day allows your body to maintain a regular digestive schedule, which in turn can improve bowel movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When we say \u201cbad habits\u201d we are referring to things like smoking cigarettes<\/a>, drinking alcohol, or consuming excessive amounts of caffeine. Coffee, cigarettes, and liquor can not only induce heartburn, ulcers, or other stomach problems<\/a>, but they can also contribute to an abnormally functioning digestive system. Try your best to cut back on these things or avoid them altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you aren\u2019t drinking enough water, it becomes harder for food to move through the intestines. Lack of water consumption can make stool hard or difficult to pass<\/a>, i.e. constipation<\/a>. Water helps your body eliminate waste via your intestines, so stay hydrated to have regular, healthy bowel movements.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n When you exercise on a regular basis, your digestive system is much happier and you actually reduce your risk of constipation. Exercising three or four times a week for 45 minutes at a time is optimal. Plus, exercising can help you maintain a healthy weight, which is also beneficial for your digestive system.<\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having a well-functioning digestive system is one of the keys to weight loss & healthy bowel movements.
