decreases inflammation. Intake of carbonated beverages and alcohol increases the
risk of dehydration. Eat more fruit We should eat more fruit every day as they
contain natural sugars that help stimulate digestion. Seasonal fruits should be
eaten often as these fruits contain elements which are necessary to stay fit
that season. Apples are good for constipation. Grapes and oranges are good
remedies for diarrhea. You can also have a glass of 100% fruit juice. Stop
smoking Smoking and being around smoke should be avoided right after a meal.

also creates excess acid which is bad for your health. Walk Go for a walk after
each meal, even a short one. This will help keep your digestive system fit and
it also improves digestive function. Exercise Moving your body or doing any kind

your bedroom from temperature to bed-sheets should be

7. Fresh bed linens are great for going to sleep. This technique is especially beneficial after bathing. Fresh linen sheets give a cozy feeling and promote sleep, soft fabric is ideal. You can try a sachet or spray between washes.
