Decrease caffeine: Drinks high in caffeine reduces the efficiency of the detoxifying ability of your liver, in turn slowing down your digestion. Switch to drinks low in caffeine like green tea as it helps to improve your digestion and improves your metabolism.
Ditch the dairy: Dairy products increase mucus and toxin accumulation in your liver leading to poor digestion. To make up for your daily protein needs load up on plant-based proteins like lentils as they are easy on your digestion. NOTE: Yogurt can be an exception as it has many gut-friendly bacteria that strengthen your digestive tract.
Bank on that fibre: Probiotics keep your gut healthy and require good gut bacteria to exist. Fibre is gut bacteria’s favourite food to feed on. Therefore, add fibre like oats in your diet to improve your digestion and liver health.
Go for lighter oils: Oils like flaxseed and olive oil are easy to break down and absorb in comparison with heavier oils like sesame seed and vegetable oils. Go easy on your stomach. Switch to light oils.
Sugar? No, please! Sugar in high amounts is extremely detrimental to health. Sugar puts an increased amount of pressure on your liver to transform fructose into fat thus increasing fat deposits in your body. Use natural sweeteners like honey for a healthy liver and improved digestion.
