Important tips to avoid digestive disorders
Indigestion is one of the most common problems that fasting people suffer from after breaking their fast, as a result of the stomach not being able to digest the amount of food taken into it .
Maintaining healthy eating habits can help you avoid many health problems. Here are some natural tips to help you overcome indigestion and its complications after fasting :
1. Eat slowly: You should be careful to eat slowly and chew your food well, as this contributes significantly to facilitating the digestion process. In addition, avoid talking while eating to avoid swallowing air, which leads to the accumulation of a lot of gases in the intestines, causing bloating and indigestion. You should stop eating immediately when you feel comfortable, not when the stomach is completely full of food .
2. Eat healthy foods in sufficient quantities: You must be careful to eat healthy foods, and completely avoid eating fast food that contains a large amount of fats that contribute to significant weight gain. We must replace them with healthy foods rich in fiber and minerals that are important for the body.
Eat fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in small quantities more than once during the period between breakfast and suhoor to avoid filling the stomach with food .
3. Do not lie down after eating : Sleeping immediately after eating causes significant weight gain, in addition to indigestion, as the blood after eating is full of sugars that need movement in order to burn them, and sleeping causes these sugars to be converted into body fat .
4. Avoid caffeine : Be careful to avoid consuming beverages that contain a large amount of caffeine after meals, as they disrupt stomach acids and enzymes and completely disrupt their functions. It gives the body the opportunity to benefit from the nutrients found in food and works on
It weakens the body's absorption of the necessary vitamins and minerals, especially during the month of Ramadan. Consuming caffeine immediately after breakfast contributes significantly to the body losing a lot of fluids, as it is a diuretic and leads to severe constipation. Care must be taken to replace these drinks with natural juices .
5. Water : You must be careful to drink water in batches and not all at once after the Maghrib call to prayer, and completely avoid drinking iced water at breakfast so as not to cause stomach cramps or cramps. During the period between breakfast and suhoor, the body needs 2 liters of water, but not all at once.
One! Drinking in several sips prevents bodily dysfunction and is best spread throughout the day .
6. Exercise after breakfast: You should maintain a regular plan for walking or doing light exercise to avoid heartburn and acid reflux.
7. Reduce sugar intake .
8. Eat foods rich in probiotics .
Finally, we wish you and all of you an acceptable fast and a delicious iftar. May God accept your good deeds.
