In today’s busy world of processed foods, eating what’s convenient, and eating on the go, there are many common indigestion issues that people deal with. Indigestion is so common that some of the best-selling products in America for many years have been various types of antacid remedies. If you are like many people, you would like to know how to cure indigestion and get rid of stomach ache, acid reflux and all that comes with it. There is a good chance that you can get relief simply by changing the way you eat. More specifically, by changing the way you combine your food types. In fact, many of the following ailments can be completely cured by changing the way you combine your food, and they have very little to do with the type of food you’re eating. See the list below. Do you suffer from any of these?

• Indigestion
• acid reflux
• Bloating and rumbling after eating
• Acidity
• stomach bread
• Gastritis
• Constipation
• Diarrhea
• diverticulitis
• Irritable bowel syndrome

Chances are, almost everyone you know suffers from one or more of these energy-robbing foods. There are some very simple things you can do, without medication and without denying yourself the foods you love. It all comes down to how you combine your different types of food.

All the symptoms listed above in most cases are provoked by difficulties in digesting food. Your digestive process plays an extremely important role in maintaining a high energy level. If your food is not digested efficiently and properly, you will pay with a loss of energy and most likely ultimately suffer from one or more of the problems listed above. Digestion is one of the most important functions your body performs. Here are three simple things that can drastically change your body’s ability to digest food efficiently.

• Do not eat fruit with other types of food.. Only eat fruit by itself or twenty to thirty minutes before eating any other type of food. If you remember a time when you might have had fruit for dessert, you may remember feeling bloated. There is a scientific explanation for why this happens, but the quick explanation is this: when you eat fruit before digesting the previously consumed food, the fruit sits on top and begins to ferment. It then creates gas and discomfort and slows down the digestive process.
• Don’t mix meat and carbs. This can almost seem un-American. However, the fact is that meat and potatoes do not mix well. This is why. The enzymes that your body secretes to digest carbohydrates are alkaline. The enzyme that your body secretes to digest animal protein is acidic. When you combine an alkaline and an acid they neutralize each other and the result is: little bit. In other words, the meat and potatoes in your belly just sit there and do all sorts of weird things except quickly digest them. Now you have the rumors.
• Eat more fiber and drink more water every day. One of the most effective ways to improve your digestion is to eat much more fiber. You should have at least 25 grams of fiber a day. Good quality fiber found in vegetables and whole grains. If you are eating the correct amounts of fiber then it is very important to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Water is important because, among other things, it keeps things moving, if you know what I mean. One way to determine if you are getting enough water and fiber is if your “sandbox” visits are quick and satisfying. Most nutritionists recommend at least eight to ten large glasses of water per day as a minimum.
