The one who lost their jobs are basically not engaged in any sort of physical activity they have been doing when they were at their workplace.

The one who must work from home because of that they have to operate from their home by sitting in a place for long period of time.

Both above situation and many more have affected our digestion system which has affected us in many ways.

In fact, food is broken down and provide energy to the body in digestive system.

So, we should take better care of our digestive system. Though there are more effects of digestive system and from ancient time our grand parents have been following some rituals which keeps our digestive track healthy.

• Eat slowly.

There are many who in hurry to work chew their food for not more than 4-5 times in mouth but the good time you must chew your food is 32 times in mouth, because our digestive system is designed as our 50% of digestion takes place in our mouth.

You must chew your food in your mouth.

• Instant energy crises

When we chew fats for minimum 4-5 times only then our digestive system uses its energy to digest the food which results in us instant energy crises. So, one must chew their food and eat slowly.

• A proper meal.

A proper meal is not only the one thing (unhealthy) that we have eaten it is a whole day what we eat and how we eat.

One should eat variety of food in a day like not having rice for breakfast, lunch and dinner but diversifying it with like Poha for breakfast, Rice for lunch and roti for dinner.

• Post meals walk.

It has been observed that or grand parents have been going out for a small walk after meals, it has become a ritual. When we intake food the amount of blood flow is diverted toward our digestive system. If we go for post meal walks them our food will digest in a good way.

And by also staying active for all day long, one must not just sit at one spot for a long period she/he should get up and go for walk for at least 5 minutes after sitting at a particular spot for almost 1 hour.

• Doing some yoga asanas

Yoga helps in proper digestion of food one.

There are some asanas which we should do before our meals and pranayama asana after meals which will help in proper digestion.
