Here are ten habits to improve blood flow to your digestive organs.

Wait for the signs of true hunger
Eat the same time every day. The stomach likes to be on schedule.

Relax while eating and for fifteen minutes afterwards.
Eat simple food combinations
Avoid cold drinks or food.
Baby the digestion after a tough day with time-tested soups.

Fill stomach 1/3 full with food, 1/3 with water, and 1/3 empty
Eat a simple breakfast, a hearty lunch, and a gentle dinner

Warm 101 degree soups prevent Dry Stomach Syndrome. It likes tea, steamed veggies, soups. The stomach struggles more with raw, cold foods and excessively irritating foods like chilies.

Improper Eating Habits

Improper eating habits lead to poor digestion, absorption, and assimilation of food. In ancient times, Indian monks worshipped agni, the god of fire. In the body, agni is the digestive fire. The monks were careful to protect their digestive fire, which is the sacred fire that fuels and nourishes the blood and all other metabolic activity. Poor digestion leads to formation of ama and altered blood chemistry. In addition to following the principles above, here are some other habits to avoid:

Snacking between meals
Excess fats, proteins, sweets, sour, and salty foods
Eating heavy foods late at night / sleeping after eating.
Eating too much or too soon after a meal
Eating while constipated, gassy, burping, or any other digestive distress.

Good eating habits are a struggle for everyone. Read about common reasons for poor diet choices, food cravings and a seven step plan for eliminating them.
