Tips for a healthy digestion 

• Always chew your food 20 times, this will allow the saliva to begin the digestive process and break your food down properly before the bolus moves into the stomach for digestion.

• It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that your stomach is full - eat slowly, place your knife and fork down between mouthfuls. If you still feel hungry after finishing - wait!

• To try eat fruit on an empty stomach as this will prevent fermentation in the stomach and reduce bloating and wind.

• Do not eat on the move - this will cause acid reflux and indigestion.

• Sit up when you eat - allow the food and easy transit to the stomach.

• Do not drink whilst you eat as this will dilute the digestive enzymes and hinder digestion.

• Enjoy your food. Anything in moderation!
