• Eating too much - overloading the digestive system means it cannot process food properly, leading to increased acid and a range of digestive problems.
• Eating the wrong foods - including a lot of processed, convenience foods with added salt, sugar and fats, puts the digestion under pressure.
• Eating too fast and too late in the day - eating too quickly means the brain doesn’t have time to register that we are full, which results in overeating. Eating a meal late at night also puts more pressure on the digestive system at a time when it should be resting.
• Too much stress - long-term, chronic stress promotes the formation of acid in the body.
• Not enough exercise - a healthy digestive system needs a healthy body that isn’t overweight.
