Before getting into the specific food combinations, there’s a fundamental lifestyle choice to be kept in mind to keep your gut moving as it should. Dr. Alka emphasizes a few daily routines:
Drink 2–3 liters of water a day to keep things running smooth.
Add fiber-rich fruits and veggies to every meal, as fiber helps bulk up stool and makes it easier to pass.
Move your body daily; even a brisk 15-minute walk can make a big difference in gut motility.
Manage stress. There is a direct impact of stress on gut motility and, consequently, on digestive comfort.
