Few tips to deal with indigestion

At times when you feel bloated after eating food; it may not always be because you have had a bit more of what you usually eat. And it is usually during dinners that you end up feeling heavy and if you sleep with the feeling, it only gets worse. Most of the times the Indian tradition of eating betel leaves or betel nuts or the healthwise much less worrisome Saunf, not only acts as mouth-freshner, it also helps in dealing with indigestion.

Did you observe that at times, even if you eat just fruits, you end up feeling heavy, especially with fruits high in fructose like apples and pears. In such cases, the best way of eating fruits is by mixing with curd or Yoghurt; all the more better if it is a low-fat curd or yoghurt. The bacteria in curd help in bringing the balance and lessening the feeling of indigestion. Also try and include fibre in your diet. Fibre-rich vegetables help in pushing the food through the digestive system.
