What not to do
Lack of exercise, combined with a low-fiber diet lead to bloating effects, felt especially in the second half of the day, when the intestine is more loaded. Another common mistake is the wrong combination of foods, which are consumed in a sequence that is difficult to digest and causes fermentation and putrefaction in the intestines. Metabolic acids that result from poor digestion accumulate in the tissues, so those who say they gain weight, even though they eat little, always have a diet that, over time, has caused their intestinal flora to go wrong. Acids from digestion are absorbed into the blood and stored in tissues, leading to weight gain and the accumulation of fat on the body (consisting of fatty acids and glycerin). People become overweight as a consequence of the body’s effort to store excess acidity, which they cannot eliminate, as it is stored in fat deposits.
Which helps us feel good
Drink a glass of hot water before a meal. The water cleanses the mucus and digestive residues and prepares the digestive tract for the effective uptake of food.
Use digestive tonic foods at the beginning and end of the meal: ginger, horseradish, lemon and season with pepper, cumin, thyme, celery leaves, parsley and coriander.
A tonic drink that prevents bloating is lemonade with ginger and a little honey.
Exercise every day and, from time to time, work hard to speed up your heart rate and eliminate toxins.
Do not drink water or cold liquids after a meal, as it delays digestion, as it dilutes digestive juices and solidifies foods that have begun to liquefy during a meal. Fats and sugar tend to soften hot and harden in the cold, so drink hot water after meals if you feel it is necessary.
Drink tea from walnut leaves, thyme, sage and mint if you have a loaded tongue and sweat is foul-smelling. These plants will regulate the microbial flora in the colon and automatically the whole body will eliminate toxins.
If you are constipated, drink artichoke tea, mousetail, burdock or senna leaves.
If you have a soft chair, use the combination of mint, oak bark and St. John’s wort.
