Keep your food warm

Cold food, like too hot food, is not always good, according to nutritionists. The thing is that cold interrupts the action of enzymes, while high temperature of food or drink leads to disruption of the tone of the digestive organs.

Reduce the amount of unhealthy foods

Try to eliminate refined foods and sugary soda from your diet: nutritionists advise not to rely on flour, refined rice, cereals, sugar, chips, crackers, etc.

Well chewed - half digested

Chew your food thoroughly: You may have heard the recommendation to chew the food up to 33 times. In reality, there is no exact number, as it depends on the consistency of the food. Let taste be your guide: chew until the food loses its taste and becomes liquid.

Don't eat out of boredom

You should only sit down at the table when you are hungry, and not when you want to artificially improve your mood with the help of candy and thereby drown out an uncomfortable situation.

Eat 2-3 hours before bed

At night, the activity of gastric juice and enzymes production decreases, which slows down digestion. Because of this, food is digested worse, and the body is forced to work the "night shift" instead of resting. In addition, those who like to eat before bedtime have a significantly increased risk of developing diabetes and problems with eating behavior.
