Keeping hydrated also allows your body to get the right mineral and electrolyte balance for proper digestion. Keep your food as clean and natural as possible. That means loads of vegetables, proteins, good quality fats, nuts and some fruit. We want to avoid any foods that makes digestion a problem. So avoid all processed foods, toxins, chemicals, store bought products packed full of ingedients you don't understand. Keep your food simple, and make it exciting with your own sauces and dressings. Get creative and get cooking. Teach yourself to enjoy cooking, because this is one of the best things you can do to help yourself get in the best shape of your life. When you know what you are eating, and what ingredients are going into your body, there is no questioning or guessing. Your body has a much better time and will be able to function optimally and full of life. Probiotics help to break foods down properly and for your body to learn to use fat as fuel as it is designed to do. We need the right balance of good and bad bacteria in our bodies.
