We all enjoy a good meal right! After a stressful day at work, or where out with our friends and family, or
sometimes where just hungry and we want to fill our bellies with something satisfying. But do you know many of the problems that occur in our body start from digestion. Some of the more common consequences of bad digestion are:

-Burping
-Heartburn
-Bloating
-Gas
-Stomach pain and cramps
-Bowel irregularity
-Headache
-Constipation
-Diarrhea

These are all irritable symptoms of a dysfunctional digestive system, and I’m sure we all hate every one of these!

But lets talk what we can do to start aiding our digestion and eliminate these roadblocks to a healthy body.
Raw Green leafy vegetables, our mom always told us to eat them as a child, but lets face it, back then we hated the taste and never took the time to consume them. But these greens actually are a wonderful and highly nutritious food that we all must have in our diet.

Reason being that when these Raw green leafy vegetables, (spinach, rocket, mint, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage) are eaten, they increase what you call enzyme activity in your digestive system, this will support the production of HCI (hydrochloric acid) which is produced in the stomach wall. HCI breaks protein into smaller nutrients called amino acids. As well as kill any harmful bacteria, germs, fungi and parasites.
A smooth digestion all depends on HCI and enzyme activity.

So before you eat any meal make sure to start by eating raw leafy vegetables, this will surely improve your digestion, just try it out. But remember the leafy vegetables must be fresh and RAW! If they are cooked the nutrients and enzymes will be destroyed! Try having raw organic spinach, rocket or lettuce, just wash and serve in a salad.

So there you go guys get stuck into the leafy vegetables before each meal and watch your digestion improve dramatically!

I will be also be writing a part 2 on simple ways to improve digestion Thanks everyone and stay healthy.
