Ayurveda is an all-encompassing science that provides guidelines to help improve one's lifestyle. It especially gives great guidance on what to eat to boost digestion. Following are some Ayurvedic guidelines for better gut health.

1) Eat only when hungry. This means, eat only after your previous meal has been digested completely. Listen to your body, react accordingly, and re-discover how it feels to be really hungry.

2) Eat slowly, without distraction. When your parents tell you to shut down the TV or iPad while eating, listen! Sit down when you eat, and eat with as little distraction as possible.

3) Eat the right quantity. Listen to your body and eat to the point when you feel satisfied, and not heavy. Everybody has different needs, stomach sizes, and metabolic speeds.

4) Warm meals. The ideal foods to consume are freshly prepared meals. If you avoid any food that comes straight from the fridge, you will preserve your digestive enzymes.

5) Avoid incompatible food items. Case in point, fruits and milk, fish and milk, etc.
