When people think of digestion issues, most think about uncomfortable and embarrassing symptoms such as bloating, passing gas, burping, constipation and diarrhea. But there are some lesser-known symptoms, which include feeling full after eating a couple of bites; feeling tired shortly after eating; loss of taste for meat; anemia; strong body odor; and sleeping problems. If you are not breaking down the foods you eat, then you are not getting the nutrients out of those foods. For instance, if you are not properly absorbing B vitamins when you eat – then you may feel tired all the time. Making sure food is being completely digested, and making adjustments to diet your is sometimes the best place to start to help with chronic conditions.
Squirting a couple of drops of digestive bitters into your mouth before you eat can do wonders when improving digestion. You may hear the word bitters and automatically think about your favorite fancy alcoholic beverage, but bitters are so much more. Bitters are made by infusing a variety of medicinal herbs and work by stimulating digestive juices, bile and enzymes to help break down food. Depending on the medicinal herb used when creating bitters, they are also used to boost the immune system, help with inflammation, control appetite and sugar cravings, and improve liver health.
