When we are losing weight, it is even more important to make sure that our digestive system works well. We can be taking the best foods in, but if we are unable to assimilate and digest properly, we will have a harder time losing those extra pounds. We have to make sure we understand that the digestion process starts even without you put the first piece of foods in your mouth. Just by thinking about a specific food, visualizing it or smelling it cook, we can trigger our digestive system. It is therefore very important to control our thought to help our body.
So many things can be made to enhance digestion such as making sure you drink fluids between meals and that you wait 20-30 minutes, after you have drank a large amount and the time you start to eat. This will help keeping the digestive fluids concentrated so the digestion works great. You may sip a room temperature water while eating, but not a lot. Avoid taking a large glass of water right after your meal.
Ginger is a spice that is helping digestion, so integrate it fresh in salads, stir fry and dressings. If works great with lemon in hot water.
A position which stimulate digestion is when you are sitting back straight on your heals.
Avoid talking a lot during a meal will help digestion, you may be chewing more your foods which is a very important factor to digest best.
So prepare mentally before a meal, sit comfortably silently, chew well your dish with ginger and avoid drinking lots of water while you eat or after. Drinking room temperature half an hour before is great! )
