Eat meals regularly. Don't eat till you are too full --70% is sufficient.Eat warm meals to help digestion. If you eat cold foods, eat something warm too. For example, when you eat a cold sandwich, eat warm soup.
Eat without drinking fluids. Liquid will dilute stomach secretions and affect digestion. Sipping hot tea is OK!
Enjoy your meals when you are eating. Don't try to multitask when you are eating.
Try not to argue with anybody before meals.
Slowly walk for five minutes after meals, especially the last meal of the day.
Eat more protein for breakfast. Protein stabilizes blood sugar levels and helps prevent craving sweets. You may eat a relatively large breakfast because you have all day to consume it.
Eat a medium-sized lunch with balanced foods --protein, vegetable, starches. Rice is a better choice for starches, because rice helps to protect the digestive system.
Small-sized, well balanced dinner, and eat as early as you can. Avoid sweets with dinner. If you have a habit of eating desert, eat fruit, and make sure to avoid too much of the main course. Remember: 70% full is sufficient.
Get plenty of sleep. Eight hours per night is recommended. Sleep will help improve your immune system to help prevent illness, and also help with healing
If you have difficulty sleeping, try the following: 1) stay in a calm space before bedtime 2) go on an outdoor walk (slowly) for a few minutes 3) soak your feet in warm water for ten minutes or take a warm bath 4) meditation.
