Therefore, consuming at least three meals a day at regular intervals can aid in digestion.

Indeed, staying well-hydrated helps the body to break down food more easily and the colon to function more effectively. Not to mention that if you increase your fiber intake, it is crucial to drink more water to avoid any bloating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, drinking whenever you feel thirsty is the simplest way to achieve this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, drinking during meals helps break down the food consumed, prevents dehydration, and increases the feeling of fullness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find it difficult to meet this goal, you can also drink tea and herbal infusions (avoiding the addition of sugar). Many herbs are beneficial for digestion. This will allow you to take care of your digestive system by consuming more liquids and benefiting from the digestive properties of herbs in one go. Depending on your intestinal issues, you can choose the most suitable herbs that will help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>promote the expulsion of gas<\/strong>: carminative herbs like <strong>cumin<\/strong>, fennel, green anise, mint, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ease digestion<\/strong>: herbs that facilitate the secretion of bile include milk thistle, rosemary, turmeric, dandelion, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>relieve nausea without vomiting<\/strong>: ginger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>prevent abdominal pain<\/strong>: peppermint is a powerful antispasmodic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b7ebe9\"><strong>Warning<\/strong>! Although these plants are natural, they may have contraindications. Therefore, it is essential to seek the advice of a healthcare professional before consuming any herbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_%E2%80%93_Do_not_hold_back_for_a_healthy_digestive_system\"><\/span>3 &#8211; Do not hold back for a healthy digestive system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid constipation, it is ideal to go to the bathroom as soon as the urge arises. Given that the colon reabsorbs water from the body, the longer you wait, the harder and potentially more painful the stools will become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, holding back can lead to long-term demotivation of the internal sphincter, resulting in chronic constipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_%E2%80%93_Move_to_digest_better\"><\/span>4 &#8211; Move to digest better<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the benefits to body and mind, engaging in physical activity stimulates the digestion of food. Getting into the habit of walking for about ten minutes after a meal particularly contributes to the proper functioning of the digestive system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, be active: take the stairs instead of the elevator, go for walks, ride a bike!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/homme-faisant-du-jogging-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Man jogging\" class=\"wp-image-5284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/homme-faisant-du-jogging-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/homme-faisant-du-jogging-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/homme-faisant-du-jogging-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/homme-faisant-du-jogging-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/homme-faisant-du-jogging-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/welliecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/homme-faisant-du-jogging-113x75.jpg 113w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, (max-width:1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Man jogging<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_%E2%80%93_Avoid_Foods_That_Cause_Stomach_Aches\"><\/span>5 &#8211; Avoid Foods That Cause Stomach Aches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon to consume food that causes digestive pain without even knowing it.
