How To Make Food Digest Faster

Eat More Fiber

Fiber-rich foods, including leafy vegetables, whole grains and fresh fruits, add bulk to your feces and help stimulate bowel movement. Introduce the larger amount of fiber to your diet gradually, as this can result in gas, cramps and bloating.

Eat Less Meat

It’s no secret that meats, milk, refined carbohydrates and hard cheeses pass slowly through the digestive tract. This can slow peristalsis. Other foods, such as white flour, instant oatmeal and sugar, can have the same effect.

Exercise Daily

The amount of regular exercise will obviously vary from person to person. How much extra time do you have in the day? Regardless of what works for you, exercising at least 30 minutes per day has been shown to improve circulation and boost the immune system. Being less active can slow down peristalsis, which greatly increases your transit time. Lack of exercise can lead to constipation and overall discomfort.

PEMF Therapy

PEMF Therapy has the unique benefit of supporting digestion at the cellular level. Electromagnetic fields have the potential to activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the body’s rest and digest response—at the same rate as manual acupuncture. This crucial system stimulates digestion and activates metabolism. The gastrointestinal tract is comprised of cells just like every other part of the body. This is why PEMF can be so effective with such a wide diversity of issues. Adhering to a healthy lifestyle including eating less processed foods, limiting stress and correcting energetic imbalances from a cellular level are very important to the digestive system.

Drink More Water

Every person should be drinking as much water as possible. Drinking water as soon as you wake up for the day will give your skin a more hydrated and healthy look. Consuming the recommended 8 glasses of water per day helps keep the feces moist, which improves transit time. A transit time of 72 hours is considered slow and can result in colon irritation, increase in risk of diverticulitis, candidiasis and cancer.

Eat Yogurt

Yogurt contains live bacteria cultures which help promote health digestion-enhancing bacteria that lives in the intestines. Other foods like sourdough bread, soft cheeses and sauerkraut can similarly help aid the digestion process.
