Your body’s digestive system is one of the most important systems you have. Taking care of it and helping it do its job is something everyone should be aware of and know how to do.
Unfortunately, the only advice most of us ever get is chew well before you swallow, don’t drink salt water, and don’t swim after you eat. Our digestive system is much more complicated than that, however, but it’s often overlooked. Many people have seriously compromised digestive systems due to a lack of knowledge. This leads us to have many illnesses and annoying symptoms.
Stomach pain, headaches, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, nausea, heartburn, and lack of energy are all signs of problems within the digestive system. When this important part of your body is working properly, it provides support for the entire body so it can heal and restore itself.
The three major concerns for a compromised digestive system are the body’s inability to absorb nutrients from the foods we eat, energy loss, and a backed up lymphatic system.
When the colon becomes back logged the digestive system is then forced to constantly use energy to work it loose. The lymphatic system will then low down because most of the body’s waste material is removed from the body through the colon. This causes a serious back up of toxins that should be leaving the body but instead begin to build up and then pass through the intestines and into the cells. When the colon is backed up and/or our intestinal flora isn’t properly balanced, then we are not absorbing nutrients properly and none of the body’s vital organs are being supported properly.
It’s easy to see how all these things are tied together. In order to support the movement of waste that must exit the colon, we need to rebuild the internal flora of the digestive system. To do this, we will need to develop some new lifestyle habits as well as adopt healthier eating habits. In this way, the body can remove toxins, heal itself, and restore its natural balance and energy levels.
Take a look at the top 12 tips we have for improving your overall digestion. If you focus on your weak areas, you can improve them and thereby strengthen your digestive system, which will in turn, improve your energy levels and health.
1. Hydration
Your entire body, especially your colon, must have adequate water in order to move things along. If your body is lacking water, then you need to do whatever it takes to be sure you are drinking sufficient amounts of water throughout the day.
This sometimes feels like a broken record “drink more water drink more water” but if it wasn’t so important, it wouldn’t need to be repeated endlessly. You need to drink between 3 to 6 liters of water every single day, depending on your situation. So drink, drink, and then drink some more. Find out reasons for dehydration.
