Indigestion Symptoms: 3 Easy Steps

Understanding and preventing indigestion  requires that you know something about your body cycles.

While our bodies consist of complex systems that seem to enjoy throwing us for a loop, there are many constants that we can use to our advantage when working to create a smooth-flowing rhythm in how things work.

Here’s 3 Easy Steps to Improve Digestion:

Keep these body cycles foods in mind to help your digestion system!

Cycle 1: This occurs from the early morning hours through lunchtime (4 a.m. to 12 p.m.). Considering all of the toxins that we come into contact with every day, this cycle is extremely important because it works to detoxify our bodies and restore delicate internal balance.

Ideally, cleansing foods should be eaten during this cycle to avoid introducing more toxins into the mix.

A good rule of thumb is to keep breakfast light every day. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, herbal teas, sprout drinks, nut milk, or seed milk instead of heavy starches and proteins.

Cycle 2: This important cycle hits around lunchtime and lasts until 8 p.m. If you’re feeling  low on energy, protein is an excellent way to give yourself a boost at lunch. Combine your protein with vegetables, or eat vegetables plus a starch. Ideally, lunch should be eaten before 2 p.m., with four hour intervals between meals.

If you find yourself hungry in the afternoon, spirulina, high-quality green powder, and chlorella are excellent for curbing appetite and increasing energy.

Cycle 3: This is your body’s time for resting and repairing itself—getting ready for another hard day’s work. To help your body out, it’s a good idea if you refrain from eating within three hours of your bedtime. Light snacks are fine if you find yourself hungry, especially things like seeds, fruits, broths, herb teas and whole food supplements.
