Spices for good nutrition
Black pepper improves the digestion by stimulating the production of hydrochloric acid, which is needed to dissolve molecules and extract nutrients. Pepper contains a substance called piperine (what a surprise! ), which the liver uses for detox. The same substance helps the skin to produce pigment and therefore it is good for relieving the symptoms of vitiligo.
Cayenne pepper speeds up the metabolism and improves the digestion. It is a good source of vitamins A, C, E, K, B6, riboflavin (very good for the production of antibodies and new cells throughout the body), niacin and minerals - manganese, magnesium, potassium and iron. Use the pepper spice to season winter soups, lean soups, bulgur salads and mushroom soups.
Coriander seeds improve the digestion. They lower blood pressure and help the liver in the process of detoxification. They are great for baked potatoes, potato salads, salads with few ingredients and healthy salads.
Parsley is also among the spices that improve the digestion. It contains myricitin, a flavonoid commonly found in plants. But parsley is on top in terms of myricitin concentration (along with sweet potatoes and cranberries). Studies show myricitin prevents cancer and reduces the risk of diabetes.
Basil is an excellent antioxidant and has antibacterial properties. In addition, it supports blood circulation and the proper functioning of the heart. It contains vitamin K and omega-3 fatty acids. For good nutrition, add basil to spaghetti sauces, Italian pizzas and your favorite spreads.
Ginger is very good for cases of nausea, whether caused by movement (driving or rowing), indigestion or pregnancy. Ginger root has anticoagulant properties.

Tips for good nutrition
To feel good and look good, follow some tips for good digestion:
The most important thing is not to starve yourself. Not only is this an unhealthy choice, but it can always have unpleasant consequences. If you do not eat enough calories during the day, there is a higher risk of overeating in the evening. When you try not to eat at all, all day, all you do is to prepare yourself to overeat later, when you will simply consume what you find in the refrigerator. It is best to eat regularly and not to miss the last meal of the day, which should contain light and healthy foods.
Here are more tips for easy digestion:
1. Eat more fruit, but make sure they are the same type and do not mix them with cheese, dairy products and eggs.
2. Do not drink water before and during meals.
3. Drink half a cup of tea after a meal for easy digestion.
4. Stay active.
5. Do not overeat in the evening and you must have dinner before 8 pm.
6. Use less salt.
7. Consume more yogurt, not milk.
8. Watch out for an intolerance to dairy products and gluten.
For easy digestion, your menu should be based on foods, that are high in fiber and complex carbohydrates.
Even when eating carbs, keep in mind that it's a good idea to choose options high in fiber or whole grains, such as whole wheat pasta, brown rice or unpeeled potatoes. Such foods contain more fiber than refined carbohydrates and help you maintain a feeling of satiety for longer.
