Bio-Hack 1: Using Natural Foods To Support Digestion
Instead of taking probiotics, digestive enzymes and other expensive supplements to support digestion, try natural, easy-to-afford foods that support digestion. Here are some recommendations:
• Fresh carrot juice (supports intestinal mucous membranes)
• Celery juice (promotes intestinal movements and alleviates constipation)
• Level of hydrochloric acid (betaine hydrochloride, HCL)
• Carminatives that reduce gas in the intestine: orange, fennel, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, cilantro, caraway, licorice, oregano, parsley, peppermint oil, rosemary, sage, lemon balm, dill, thyme, garlic.
• Bitters that stimulate the production of stomach acids and digestive enzymes: Jerusalem artichoke, Angelica sylvestris root, yellow gentian, Angelica archangelica root.
Other foods to consider to support digestion include:
Aloe vera, pineapple, chia seeds, chlorella, sauerkraut, currants, Iceland moss, chamomile, cranberries, oats, meadowsweet, blueberries, oregano, chaga mushrooms, papaya, linseeds, horse radishes, lingonberries, psyllium, rhubarb root, plantago, rosehip, spirulina, sea buckthorn, raspberry leaf, wheatgrass, valeriana.
