Here are natural remedies for indigestion

The primary and one of the natural remedies for indigestion is to correct the habit that lead to indigestion or dyspepsia.

The next step is to focus on the diet. You should know the foods that go well with your stomach (intestines).

Another method or one of the natural remedies for indigestion is to avoid certain foods.

Doing this, naturally, you already got the natural remedy. I will list some foods to avoid, herbs that will help remedy the situation and some tips that will facilitate these remedies.

Tips on diet

1. Drink beet and carrot
2. For older folks, take natural digestive aids such as bromolain from pineapple or papain from papaya. Papaya contains the digestive enzymes that is lacking in older people. You may take the tablets because they help breakdown protein.
3. Increase calcium, vitamin D and magnesium.

An aftertaste helps in identifying the problem food, that is, if foods like onions, radishes, turnips, cucumber or cabbage cause indigestion.

4. Eat more fresh or raw foods than cooked food. This is because fresh and raw foods help produce the enzymes that help digest and assimilate the nutrients.

This is the reason why it is not good to cook these foods overly as the enzymes are destroyed in the process.

5. Include enough fiber in your meal to avoid constipation. Also include trace elements
6. When it is difficult for you to absorb your food, try obtaining adequate vitamins and minerals

Avoid the following

1. Food allergies such as lactose intolerance and other foods that tend to disturb you
2. Do not consume legumes heavily especially lentils and soybeans because they contain a substance that reduces the actions of certain digestive enzymes.
3. For gas-producing foods such as cabbage and cauliflower, eat little
4. Avoid combination of foods like: fruits and vegetables, milk and sugar, protein and sugar
5. Do not chew gum or suck on hard candies
6. Avoid foods with lots of air
7. Do not drink water or other liquid with your meal to avoid diluting your stomach juices
