Stress
Stress can present our bodies extraordinary problems to our digestive systems in fact our entire bodies can go through adverse changes. And stress is defiantly not a stranger to a stomach ache specially after eating. You can find numerous steps you can take to alleviate the stress factor in our lives, in the body and the mind.
- Relax, Relax, Relax - Right simpler said than done but studies show that stress directly elevates blood pressure, anxiety and difficulty sleeping among a host of problems. Try to take time out just a moment or two in a day to just focus entirely on yourself, nothing else but you. Literally nothing in this world should occupy the thought in your mind, just let go and spend time pampering yourself. Do something you take pleasure in even something small like painting your finger and toe nails, soaking your feet and applying your favorite scented lotion.
- Tranquility - Find a nice quiet place inside or outside and close your eyes. Let all of your worries fall away, bills, schedules, school, this or that just empty your entire mind. If outside, concentrate on the peaceful environment totally surrounding you. The chirping of birds, the way the wind flows through your hair, the tranquility of it all. Just soak it up. Nice and calm and comforting. If inside, try and focus on the peace that is all around you, soothing, quiet, blessed peace.
- Internal Systems, Check - Now for inside the body. Stress can make your digestive system horrifically sensitive, just trigger all types of maladies and can most certainly cause a stomach ache after eating any food. Yes, even the foods you love. Seems particularly unfair to endure stress and then to have comfort food turn on your own body. And you know what? You can still eat these types of foods and not have discomfort if you combine them inside your stomach correctly. I know sounds a bit strange but if you think about food and the mechanics of your stomach it all starts to make sense.
Food Combining Here We Come
Combining foods that work against each other in your stomach will cause stomach aches after eating a meal. Believe it or not, different foods actually do require different digestive enzymes in order to break down the food properly in your stomach. Different types of foods trigger the release of different types of digestive enzymes.
Some require acids and some require alkaline two separate digestive juices. And during the combination of food that requires both, the two intermix and neutralize each other out, cancel out and this means churning and churning for possibly hours afterward. And churning like this causes lots of problems like sour stomachs, acid reflux, bloating, excessive gas, running to the bathroom a combination guaranteed to make you miserable.
But alone, each type of enzyme does a fabulous job breaking down foods as nature intended but mixing foods that each require different compositions together spells out trouble including a stomach after eating.So eating foods that mix in well together in compatible combinations will solve all kinds of digestive troubles.
