Welcome back to Part-3 of our Decode Your Poop Series! 💩✨

🧐 “Even when I eat healthy, why do I still feel bloated, acidic, or constipated?”

Let's explore modern science 🧪 and ancient naturopathy 🌿 to decode this.

Check Your Saliva – A Natural Digestive Clue

Before eating, observe your saliva. Thick, foamy, or dry mouth can mean poor enzyme flow. Start meals with gratitude and perhaps a piece of ginger to awaken Agni 🔥.

Let's explore modern science 🧪 and ancient naturopathy 🌿 to decode this.

🔍 Scientific Truth: Digestion Can Break Down Easily

Digestion isn’t only the stomach’s job — it’s a complex process involving:

  • 👄 Saliva —
  • 🔥 Stomach acid (HCl) —
  • 🫀 Bile —
  • 🧬 Pancreatic enzymes —
  • 🌀 Peristalsis —
  • 🧠 Gut-brain axis — links emotions with digestion

Even nutritious meals can feel heavy when we:

  • ❌ Eat too fast or skip chewing
  • ❌ Eat while distracted or stressed
  • ❌ Eat irregularly or stay inactive

This leads to poor enzyme release, slow digestion, inflammation, and toxin buildup (Ama).

🔥 Naturopathy View: Agni – Your Digestive Fire

In naturopathy, Agni is the fire that digests and transforms food into energy:

  • 🔥 High Agni causes acidity and loose stools
  • ❄️ Low Agni causes bloating and constipation
  • 🌀 Irregular Agni causes alternating issues

When Agni weakens, food turns into Ama (toxins), harming your vitality (Ojas) and leading to illness.

🧘‍♀️ Lifestyle Reset: Change How You Eat

Your eating habits are as important as your food choices. Try these mindful habits:

  • ✔️ Chew each bite 25-30 times
  • 🚱 Avoid water 30 minutes before and after meals
  • 📴 Eat without screens or distractions
  • 🕙 Eat main meals between 10 AM and 2 PM (when Agni peaks)
  • 🚶‍♀️ Walk 100 steps after eating
  • 😴 Sleep before 10:30 PM for better liver detox

🥗 Food Reset: What to Eat

🌅 Morning (Empty Stomach):

  • 🌿 Cumin, fennel & coriander water for anti-bloating
  • 🥒 Ash gourd juice to cool and detoxify
  • 🍋 Warm water with amla for Agni balance & vitamin C

☀️ Midday Main Meal:

  • 🍲 Warm, home-cooked meals
  • 🧈 Ghee to heal the gut lining and act as a natural prebiotic
  • 🌿 Digestive spices like jeera, hing, ajwain
  • 🥛 Buttermilk (not curd) for probiotics

🌙 Light & Early Dinner:

  • 🥣 Khichdi, soups, or steamed veggies
  • 🚫 Avoid wheat, raw salads, and fermented foods at night
  • 🕖 Eat before 7:30 PM for best liver-gut synchronization

🧪 Bonus Science: Gut-Brain Axis

Your gut and brain communicate constantly. Stress or emotions can slow digestion or cause gut discomfort. Practices like mindful eating and breathwork calm both gut and mind.
