Our digestion needs love and care, just like any other part of our bodies, which is why making yourself a smoothie for digestion may be a great way to start caring for your digestion.
This smoothie for digestion and bloating is made using natural ingredients, that are known and proven to help with your digestion.
Are Smoothies Good For Digestive Problems?
Most of the time digestive problems are caused by poor diet and stress. Most smoothies contain fresh fruit and veg, which is exactly what your body needs.
In today’s times, we all lack fiber, which can cause digestive problems and many other problems too.
Introducing smoothies to your diet will not only provide you with vitamins and minerals but also fiber, which is crucial for digestive health.
What Kind Of Smoothies Are Good For Digestion?
Smoothies made with natural ingredients, such as fresh fruit and leafy greens are perfect for good digestion.
But here is an extensive list of what these smoothies are:
- Green Smoothies
- Berry Smoothies
- Banana Smoothies
- Yogurt Smoothies
- Smoothies With Kefir
- Pineapple Smoothies
Please note, that if you have digestive issues, such as IBS for example, there are certain ingredients that will trigger you.
So, always make sure that you adjust your smoothies that suit your body.
Is Blending Food Better For Digestion?
One of the reasons why smoothies are so good for your digestion is because they are essentially pureed food.
Blending improves your digestion because you are sending down extremely well ‘chewed up’ food, so it saves energy and time for your digestion to break it down further.
You see, most of us don’t chew our food well enough, which means our digestion has to work extra hard to ensure it breaks it down before it sends it to the colon.
So yes, blending does help your digestion!
