Hydrate, get moving, listen to yourself... Simple actions can help aid digestion throughout the day.
A good boost in the morning
Drink a large glass of water first thing in the morning to flush out toxins and rehydrate your body. Choose lukewarm or room-temperature water. Cold weather tends to tire the body and slow down the digestive system.
Before getting in the shower, dry brush your body with a dedicated body brush like the Brush & Glow In addition to stimulating blood circulation and firming skin, this 3-minute-a-day exercise can also support your digestion by activating the lymphatic system and promoting the elimination of toxins. This helps boost your metabolism. It's less well known, but dry brushing, performed in the direction of lymphatic circulation, also helps reduce bloating and rebalance your digestive system.
The right move? Brush gently in circular motions, always toward the heart.
At breakfast, rethink your eating habits by replacing toast or pastries high in fast sugars and carbohydrates with foods rich in protein and healthy fats. The goal: to nourish the body and stabilize energy levels throughout the day.
Yes to protein: eggs, plant-based yogurt, fish, fiber from whole fruits, chia seeds, oatmeal, and good fats like avocado or nut butters.
The day, the setting in motion
Move as much as possible: walk, cycle, take the stairs... And get up regularly if you're sitting behind a screen. Digestively, movement stimulates transit by helping intestinal muscles contract, reduces bloating and feelings of heaviness, and promotes a healthy microbiota by enriching the intestine with good bacteria.
The right reflex: a 15-20 minute walk after a meal or a light yoga session between noon and two.
Limit gluten. This protein, found in wheat, barley, and rye, can be problematic for some people because it causes inflammation, especially in those with gluten intolerance. For others, who are simply “gluten sensitive,” this protein is difficult to digest, causing bloating and discomfort.
It's hard to completely eliminate gluten! So Aime developed Gut Flow ™, a new dietary supplement made up of seven digestive enzymes, including Tolerase G, which helps break down gluten into more easily digestible fragments.
In the evening, the rest phase
Avoid heavy or rich dishes at dinner as they slow down digestion, especially before bed.
Avoid drinking alcohol, even in small amounts. It irritates the stomach, impacts the gut microbiome, and slows down bowel movements. The result: an inflammatory state sets in, which increases chronic digestive problems.
Instead, make yourself a delicious herbal tea . Infusions support the digestive system thanks to their warmth but also their natural and soothing composition. Choose verbena against bloating, stimulating ginger to reduce nausea, or anti-inflammatory turmeric which helps protect and soothe the intestine. You will find them in The Infusion Aime x The Infuser which soothes both the stomach and the mind.
