Tips For Healthy Digestion

* Eat lots of fibre rich foods: Fibre promotes healthy digestion by helping to remove waste from your body. It may also help lower your risk of colon cancer, help lower cholesterol, control blood sugar and help manage your body weight.

* Get your body moving: Regular physical activity helps keep food moving through your digestive system. Try taking short walks during the day and use the stairs instead of the elevator to stay active. Adults need at least 150 minutes of physical activity a week.

* Eat regularly: Eat light, regular meals and snacks throughout the day to help move food through your digestive system. Take time to eat, even if you are having a busy day.

* Avoid foods that may upset your stomach: You may find that some foods are more likely to upset your stomach than others. If you have heartburn, gas, celiac disease, diverticulitis, inflammatory bowel disease or irritable bowel syndrome, you may find that specific foods trigger your symptoms, though this is different for everyone.
