In ancient health systems like Ayurveda, they believe our bodies have a certain amount of digestive fire that gets partly used whenever we consume a meal.
Obviously, heavier meals require more digestive energy or “fire”... lighter meals require less.
So, on days where you know you’ll be eating something heavy, it makes sense to go much lighter beforehand.
Secret #2: Use certain foods/herbs to fuel the fire.
Another powerful tip from ancient traditions, which modern science is now proving, is that certain foods like ginger and cayenne can help speed up digestion.
Ginger is especially valuable for building digestive fire. Consuming strong ginger tea (fresh or powder is fine), leading up to your big/heavy meal creates a digestive furnace... ready to go when you eat.
You can also use ginger tea during or after to help with digestion, it’s one of the most powerful natural digestive aids in existence.
Secret #3: Use enzymes as the ultimate digestive power-up.
Hopefully you understand that nothing gets digested or done in the body without the help of enzymes.
In the case of heavier meals that might include rich foods such a cheese, meat, and combinations of lots of fat or carbs, you REALLY need enzymes to help break down these complex food combinations.
It contains so much protease (as well as lipase for fat, and amylase for carbs), that it can really digest anything.
The first two secrets given will take you far in terms of helping reduce indigestion.
The food just gets burned up and disappears from your stomach – no indigestion, no gas, no bloating.
And because the food is digested so well, it also helps avoid the weight gain.
Following the above mentioned steps can help reduce indigestion while you enjoy the foods you love... without consequence.
