How to Enhance Digestion

• 1

  Start your morning with a capful of apple cider vinegar in 1 glass of lukewarm water. This vinegar, which is different from regular vinegar, eases digestion.

• 2

  Add raw cultured foods to your diet. These foods contain lactobacilli, which are healthy micro-flora naturally present in the digestive tract.

• 3

  Drink a cup of hot peppermint tea following your meal. Consult with your physician before drinking peppermint tea if you have reflux or are using a homeopathic remedy.

• 4

  Take a probiotic if you've been on antiobiotics or have compromised digestion. The beneficial bacteria that are naturally present in the digestive system can get depleted. Restoring the good bacteria can enhance digestion and the immune system.

• 5

  Refrain from eating two hours before bed to ensure proper sleep, which is important for overall bodily function, including digestion. If you must eat close to bedtime, eat foods that digest quickly, such as a soup or salad.
