FIVE essential tips to help you with your digestion.
Number ONE, chew your food. Digestion begins in the mouth your saliva starts to break down the food so when it goes down your esophagus into your stomach the food it is ready for the next stage.

and you can taste the flavors and the textures of the food.
You can be better aware of when you are full to stop eating.
The THIRD essential tip for better digestion improved
digestion is eat until you’re 80 percent full do not
stuff yourself. It inhibits the digestion it stretches out
the organs your nutrients don’t get processed properly it strains the whole
system it actually depletes your energy.
The FOURTH tip is eat complex carbohydrates.
I’m not talking about white bread, noodles or crackers.
We’re talking rice, quinoa, millet, barley, vegetables

Simple carbohydrates, processed foods like white bread and white crackers
that it’s like putting a twig on the fire.
It burns up fast, then your energy is depleted and you want more simple sugars.
