Top 10 Tips for a healthy
digestive system

2. 1. Chew food well, and eat
slowly. If you eat quickly,
enzymes and acid in the
stomach have to work harder
to break down food, causing
heartburn and bloating.

3. 2. Stop eating when you feel
full. Over eating causes
indigestion, bloating and wind.

4. 3. Take some exercise each day-
30 minutes, walking is ideal.

5. 4. Eat smaller more frequent
balanced meals to avoid
indigestion and heartburn.

6. 5. Avoid large rich meals,
especially before bed.

7. 6. Keep well hydrated – it helps
your gut function better and
prevents constipation.

8. 7. For optimum bowel function,
women need an average of 25g
of fibre a day and men need
35g. Fruits and vegetables are
the best sources of fibre for
digestion.

9. 8. Reduce tea and coffee intake
to maximum of four cups a
day.

10. 9. Avoid spicy foods if suffering
from IBS, heartburn or
diarrhoea.

11. 10. Avoid smoking and excess
alcohol as both can have a
negative effect on disgestion.
