Secondly, it also performs the function of toothbrush and ensures movement of food particles throughout the tract smoothly. Raw vegetables, grains, legumes, etc. can be considered as a rich source of fiber. Hemorrhoids, ulcers, etc. are found to be scared of fiber.
- Your diet should contain healthy fats
Healthy fats are believed to add the most beneficial fatty acids to the diet which are easily digestible in nature. These are found in abundance in nuts, salmon, chia seeds, etc.

- Hydration is must
Water is found in high percentage in human body. It is the most essential element required for maintaining proper metabolism in human body. Water constitutes for the physical, physiological and anatomical structure of the body.

Therefore, proper physical digestive process-cum-food movement is enhances only with the help of adequate quantity of water in the body i.e. at least 5-6 litres per day.

Stress is found to be a psychological factor which affects the digestive system manifold. In case of stress, the supply of blood is diverted from digestive system towards the nervous system.
Therefore, digestion process is hampered. Moreover, in case of stress, the body thinks that now it is in a state of disturbance because of which it cannot eat or sleep properly.
Therefore, the stress hormones add to the generation of a situation that digestion is not needed to be performed now. For this, meditation, yoga, etc. practices are recommended to be performed.

Chewing basically breaks down the food in mouth itself. This further facilitates and allows the stomach to put in less labour in breaking down the food further. Partial digestion of carbohydrates and fats in the mouth itself reduces stress over the stomach.
It also enhances easy passage of food through the digestive tract. This is due to the presence of saliva in the food. Saliva acts as a promoter and solvent in the stomach to promote easy digestion of the food there.
- Perform partial movement of the body
Regular exercise assists the body in regulating the digestion mechanism in a proper and coordinated manner. Moreover, through exercise, the body gains power as the nerves and blood vessels are contracted and relaxed as per the physical movement of the body.
Therefore, a mild walk after meal is also a catalyst in enhancing digestion. Hence, cycling and swimming early morning is also a boosting agent for proper digestion for whole day long.

Setting a particular time for having your meals is also an adjoining factor in deciding perfect digestion success. Thus, it must be kept in notice that eating at wrong time or anytime not in correspondence with the actual timings of meal causes irregularity in digestion.
