Stomach & Digestion

Healthy digestion plays a special role for our well-being. It is not without reason that many sayings exist in common parlance, such as "not being able to stomach something" or "having to digest something."

The digestion system works tirelessly every day and supplies our body with vital nutrients. The digestion process involves many organs, such as stomach, small and large intestine, liver and gall bladder which all mesh together like gears in a machine. As long as this interaction works, our digestion goes more or less unnoticed.

However, there are factors, like a high-fat diet, lack of physical exercise or stress that can lead to digestive disorders. Nearly everyone knows from experience:
Indigestion, heartburn, constipation, diarrhea or unpleasant flatulence can impair our life quality significantly. There are phytonutrients, for instance, that can be helpful against constipation or for an active fat digestion.

Tips for good digestion:

• Abstain from stress, alcohol and cigarettes
• Chew your food slowly and thoroughly
• Drink a glass of warm water in the morning on an empty stomach
• Eat fiber-rich foods including fruits and vegetables
• Avoid flatulent vegetables, such as cabbage and onions
• Eat small, frequent meals during the day
• Observe regular toilet times
• Avoid eating raw vegetables in the evening
• Exercise regularly
