Digestive Enzymes & Probiotics #Floracor & #Digest-GI

 

Digestive enzymes improve the function of your digestive system and make you feel better after eating a meal. The majority of digestive support supplements contain a blend of enzymes, but with so many ingredients on every label, it can be hard to choose the right supplement for your needs.

Below are three highly effective digestive enzymes to consider when choosing a supplement.

1. Papaya
Papayas are a rich source of valuable proteolytic enzymes, such as papain, chymopapain, caricain and glycyl endopeptidase, that can greatly aid in the digestive process. The enzyme papain is one of the most effective at breaking down meat and other proteins, comparable to the enzyme pepsin that we produce in our pancreas.

In fact, papain is often considered a more effective enzyme than pepsin. Eating the papaya enzyme papain in a meal containing meat can significantly speed up its digestion. It may also help with the breakdown of other troublesome proteins, such as the gluten in wheat and the casein in milk, that are often implicated in digestive problems.

2. Bromelain
Bromelain is an enzyme found in pineapple juice and in the pineapple stem and is known to improve digestion. Used for reducing swelling and inflammation, bromelain has been shown to treat a bowel condition that includes swelling and ulcers. Often used in digestive support products, bromelain can also help improve the absorption of antibiotics. Bromelain seems to cause the body to produce substances that fight pain and inflammation.

3. Hydrochloric Acid (HCL)
Hydrochloric acid, also called HCL, is one of the many chemicals released in our stomach when we eat a meal. The role of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, along with the other gastric juices, is to break down foods and cause the release of enzymes that further aid digestion. HCl also protects the body from illness by killing pathogens commonly found in foods.

HCL supplements can aid the stomach’s acid to destroy harmful bacteria as well as relieve the symptoms of heartburn. Low stomach acid causes indigestion, gas, bloating, acid reflux, constipation, and diarrhea.

Simple Ways to Speed Up your #Digestion and #Metabolism

Simple Ways to Speed Up your 

Digestion and Metabolism

Eat too much? feel restless, sleeping and lethargic? That is a food coma! Also known as post-prandial somnolence to the medical world, a food coma is defined as a normal state of drowsiness following a large meal.


When you consume a large meal, or a heavy carb meal, your body goes into a general state of low energy due to the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system in response to the increase of mass in your gastrointestinal tract. Your energy is being diverted to aid in digestion, so “non-essential” functions such as, exercise and muscle exertion are placed on the back-burners.


As a general rule of thumb –  the bigger the meal, the harder it will be for you to stay awake! When you eat a lot at once, your body ends up shifting more of its energy to help with digestion.

Here is what you need to do

Add lots of fiber to your diet. Fiber is the number one recommended treatment for digestive problems.
Add
beans
seeds
fruits
vegetables 

Get more probiotics in your system.
 Probiotics are living microorganisms that are similar to the beneficial ones naturally present in your gut. You can get probiotic microorganisms from consuming foods, such as kefir, sauerkraut, miso and kimchi.

Eat more prebiotics.
They are found in some greens, onions, garlic, artichokes, bananas, etc. Prebiotics are a type of helpful bacteria that is similar to probiotics. Studies have shown that a lack of fiber can lead to an overabundance of harmful gut bacteria. Prebiotics promote the growth and proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal tract and increase the absorption of minerals such as, calcium and magnesium.

Drink plenty of water. The combination of high-fiber and water will increase the efficiency of your digestion. Most doctors recommend drinking eight 8 oz. glasses per day.

Reduce fat and sugar in your diet. Not only can these substances cause stomach aches in high quantities, but they also slow digestion and cause constipation. One way to ensure that you are reducing fats and sugars is to consume less processed foods since they tend to contain hidden chemicals and higher amounts of sugar.

Try eating several small meals per day if large meals give you heartburn or acid reflux. Your body is better at digesting smaller quantities at a time. After you figure out the amount of food that works well per meal, try to keep a regular schedule that your body can easily adjust to.

Eat lean proteins, such as fish and lean cuts of meat. Proteins are essential for maintaining healthy muscles, but lean cuts are less likely to cause heartburn and will be quicker to digest. In general, high-fat foods take longer to digest than low-fat foods.

Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day.
 Exercise and movement help food move through your system and aid in weight loss, which can also help digestion.

Avoid the consumption of cigarettes and alcohol.
The chemicals inside these substances can cause nausea and undermine the benefits of good diet choices. Caffeine may also cause an increase in acidity in the stomach, leading to high levels of heart burn and acid reflux.

Rebuild Your Gut With A Detox. 
 Detoxing is a great way to clean up your diet, gut, and eating.
