Some simple changes can help improve digestive health – here are five things you can do today to start feeling amazing.
I talk a lot about food here – and you probably love food as much as I do! Maintaining good digestive health is important for digesting all those delicious foods we eat. I didn’t always have good digestive health though. I decided to make a couple of simple changes to support my digestive health.
In today’s post, I’m sharing five things I do on a daily basis to help my digestive system.
1. Drink enough fluids
Staying hydrated is essential for a healthy digestive system. Drink enough water to aid with aid with digestion and avoid dehydration, which can cause constipation. I keep a big water bottle at work and try to refill it throughout the day, so I end up drinking about eight cups of water every day.
If you have trouble drinking plain water, try decaffeinated herbal teas or make your own infused water with lemon slices or fresh mint leaves.
2. Eat foods high in fiber
We all know fiber is an important part of our daily diet, but sometimes it’s hard to get all the fiber you need from food. Benefiber® Prebiotic Fiber Supplement makes it easy to add fiber to your daily routine because it is a clear, taste-free and 100% natural prebiotic fiber that helps support good digestive health.* All you need to do is add it to what you are already eating or drinking. I like to add it to my coffee or juice – it’s an effortless way to add fiber to my diet. It dissolves completely in foods and beverages.**

3. Add probiotics to your diet
Probiotics are the “good” bacteria that live in our digestive tract. They can support digestion and tolerability of certain food types. You can incorporate more probiotics into your diet by eating fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi (Korean spicy pickled vegetables), and kombucha.
If you don’t get enough of these foods into your diet, you can take Culturelle® Digestive Health Probiotic,* which are vegetarian (gelatin-free) probiotic capsules. They help your digestive system work better thanks to the #1 clinically studied probiotic Lactobacillus GG. It’s proven support to help reduce occasional digestive upset.* It also helps with occasional diarrhea, gas and bloating.* Overall, this probiotic is designed to help your digestive system work better.*

4. Avoid skipping meals
I have been doing a lot of travelling lately, and sometimes I end up skipping meals when I’m on the go. When I’m not eating meals at the usual times, I end up with digestive problems. You can help keep your digestive system in good shape by eating your meals (or snacks if you don’t have time for a full meal) on a regular schedule.
5. Take your time
I used to have a bad habit of eating quickly and not properly chewing my food. Take your time when eating for better digestion. When you eat slowly, you’ll give your stomach time to register fullness and avoid overeating.
Benefiber®, a prebiotic, and Culturelle® Digestive Health Probiotic^ are convenient and effective solutions for maintaining good digestive health. Both products can be found at Sam’s Club, which has solutions for your digestive health needs.
