We all dream of days soaked in laughter, ease, joy, and love. These are the days when we wake up peacefully, do the morning routine with a smile, go on to work, eat with loved ones, and sleep peacefully again.
But the moment our stomachs start to writhe in pain and discomfort, even a small task seems trivial.
A knot here and we remember god, a knot there and life seems like a burden. It is not that we fail to understand the importance of a healthy stomach.
After all, the whole of Ayurveda highlights the vitality of good digestion. It says, “Pachan Gyan, Vyadhi Nidan”, meaning: “Knowledge of digestion is the root of diagnosing all diseases”. But somehow, we fail to acknowledge how our stomach drives our mood and life. How poor digestion leaves us feeling grumpy and uneasy. How it affects our overall health.
But the good news is, improving digestion is not a herculean task. In fact, by making a few lifestyle changes around diet and hydration, we can ensure that our guts stay healthy and life, easy peasy.
So, what to do?
It has been rightly said that the path to joy goes through a healthy and happy stomach. No wonder when we suffer from indigestion, we suffer from numerous other diseases as well. But it is a two-way path: where poor digestion leads to a ruined lifestyle, ruined lifestyle leads to poor digestion as well. This is why we must focus on enhancing our digestive health.
The digestive system can be strengthened in numerous ways such as by staying hydrated, having a diet full of fresh and whole foods, increasing fibre intake, being physically active, etc. Also, apart from it, one must also take care of their habits that are brutal for digestion.
When you bring the essence of a healthy lifestyle into your life, you bring health, happiness, and harmony as well. Start making these smaller changes now and see bigger benefits coming down your way. Happy eating!
