Top Ten Tips... To Better Digestion
1. The first top digestion tip, is every morning before breakfast, freshly
squeeze the juice of 1 - 2 lemons in 250ml - 500ml of spring or filtered water. This small but
effective daily routine will help to cleanse the stomach of left over 'debris' and remove any excess
acid.

2. Another daily drink taken late morning or sometime before lunch will complement the cleanse in
'Tip 1' to help your digestion. This can include 1 tsp - 1 tbsp of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar mixed with
250ml - 500ml apple juice (freshly squeezed is even better). This drink will balance digestive juices, specifically
for low or high levels of Hydrochloric acid (HCl).
3. Avoid cold drinks while eating - this slows down digestion. Food is digested more efficiently at
around body temperature, therefore cold fluid can slow down the digestive processes. If you must drink while
eating, try hot water or herbal teas. Caffeine can cause excess production of HCl so should be avoided, as should
alcohol.
4. Have you ever heard of Swedish Bitters? These can usually be obtained from good health food stores
around the UK as well as in Europe. The taste of bitter herbs, foods, juices etc, 20 - 30mins before eating will
increase digestive function by encouraging the release of digestive enzymes, juices and acids.
5. Specific self massage and exercise techniques used as part of a daily routine
will also contribute to better digestion.
'LIVER EXERCISE' - This exercise massages the Liver and Gall Bladder, tonifying and cleansing
these organs, helping digestion. It helps cope with abdominal wind, and assists digestion. Place the heel of the
right hand on the right side of the body under the rib cage, and just above the hip bone. The fingers should point
straight across the body. Pressing firmly, move the hand slowly across the body to the middle of the abdomen; you
should end up with the heel of the hand over the navel. Repeat this action 10-20 times.
