Food That Helps You Combat Indigestion

Indigestion is an umbrella term given to various digestive issues pertaining to our upper gastrointestinal tract including pain, a burning sensation, or discomfort; feeling full too soon while eating; and feeling uncomfortably full after eating.

It also shows up in the form of acidity, bloating, constipation, sour burps, food intolerances etc. Most of us brush indigestion issues under the carpet, only to realise that it has flared up to something bigger and severe. Popping antacids and other quick fixes is not the solution, although it may give relief immediately.

So, any late-night heavy meal is bound to burden your entire digestive system leading to innumerable indigestion issues. This is why the age-old wisdom of fasting after sunset is so powerful because it is closely aligned with the way our digestive system and body works
