Optimize your digestion
Digestion is necessary. We are aware of it when discomfort arises. But it is not the only reason. Good digestion is also essential for optimal assimilation of nutrients, guarantors of our good health. Digestion is a topic that comes up often. And for good reason, the plates are full, satiety is not listened to, the food combinations or the ingredients are not adapted to the tolerances of our digestive system. It's hard to resist. After all, eating should also be fun. Fortunately we can support our digestive system.
Helping your digestion with plants
Let's start with plants which are valuable allies. Among them, artichoke and dandelion, friends of the liver, facilitate the production and flow of bile. This substance is essential for the emulsion and digestion of fats. These plants also stimulate the work of our kidneys. Ready-made, ready-to-use formulas exist on the market. The Gallexier elixir, for example, is an old European recipe that combines these two plants with other great classics. Indeed, find gentian, turmeric, ginger, fennel, chamomile, bitter orange as well as blessed thistle in the same bottle. Take Gallexier after a meal, but also as an aperitif! Its action on digestion is partly due to its bitter taste.
The alternative to bitterness
Our taste generally tends to seek sweetness rather than bitterness. On the other hand, the benefits related to bitterness are important. But rest assured. If drinking this concoction is beyond your strength, you still have the option of consuming digestive enzymes. These are molecules secreted by the pancreas when we eat in order to digest food. These capsules therefore allow us to increase our digestive capacity, both for proteins, fats and sugars. Good news if you suffer from intolerances! Some enzymes can even help you digest gluten or lactose.
So to avoid spoiling the meal, choose from this range, offered by Flora, effective for digestion.
