Digestive Disorders

Probiotics A healthy gut microbiome is essential for digestive health. Dr. Kandekar recommends incorporating natural probiotics into the diet, such as yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and other fermented foods. These help to balance gut bacteria, improve digestion, and boost the immune system.

Fiber-Rich Diet Fiber is crucial for digestive health. Dr. Kandekar advises a diet rich in both soluble and insoluble fiber, found in foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. This helps to regulate bowel movements, prevent constipation, and promote overall gut health.

Mindful Eating Eating mindfully can greatly improve digestion. Dr. Kandekar encourages patients to eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and listen to their body’s hunger and fullness cues. This practice can reduce overeating, improve nutrient absorption, and minimize digestive discomfort.
