Good food for good digestion.

The only effective treatment for indigestion is a thorough cleansing of the digestive tract;
adoption of a sensible diet and a change in the style of living. The best way to commence the
treatment is to adopt an all-fruit diet for about five days. After the all-fruit diet, the patient may
take to a restricted diet of easily digestible foods, consisting of lightly cooked vegetables, juicy
fruits and buttermilk for about 10 days. He may thereafter gradually embark upon a
well-balanced diet.
The use of fruits in general is beneficial in the treatment of indigestion. They flush out the
undigested food reside and accumulated faeces and re-establish health to perfect order. Being
rich in water, they clean body mechanisms thoroughly. The best among the fruits in dyspepsia is lemon. Its juice reaches the stomach and attacks the bacteria, inhabiting the formation of acids.
Lemon juice removes indigestion by dislodging this acid and other harmful substances from the
stomach, thereby strengthening and prompting a healthy appetite.
The orange is another effective food remedy in chronic indigestion. It gives rest to the digestive
organs and supplies nutrition in a most easily assimilated form. It also stimulates the flow of
digestive juices thereby improving digestion and increasing appetite. It creates suitable
conditions for the development of friendly bacteria in the intestines.
Another fruit useful in indigestion is grapes. They are a light food which removes indigestion and irritation of the stomach in a short time and relieves heat.
Pineapple is also valuable. It acts as a tonic in dyspepsia and relieves much of the digestives disorders of dyspeptics. Half a glass of pineapple juice should be taken after a meal in this condition.
