Your stomach is more than just a food processor — it’s your body’s engine of energy, immunity, and mood. If your gut is healthy, you feel lighter, more focused, and more energetic. But with modern diets and busy routines, issues like bloating, acidity, gas, and constipation have become common.
Here are the best science-backed and natural tips to keep your stomach healthy every day.
Start Your Day with Warm Water
Drinking warm water on an empty stomach helps:
- Flush out toxins
- Stimulate digestion
- Relieve constipation
Add lemon or honey for an extra detox boost.
Eat More Fiber
A high-fiber diet is key to smooth digestion.
- Include fruits (like papaya, banana)
- Eat leafy vegetables, oats, and whole grains
- Fiber keeps your bowel movements regular
👉 Aim for 25–30g fiber per day.
Chew Your Food Properly
Digestion starts in your mouth.
- Chew each bite 20–30 times
- Avoid eating in a hurry
- Helps reduce gas and bloating
- Stay Hydrated
- Water keeps your digestive system running smoothly.
- Drink 2–3 liters of water daily
- Avoid too much water right after meals
- Coconut water and fennel water aid digestion
