Digestive system

The digestive system breaks down food, absorbs nutrients and removes what is left. It includes the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. Its work decides whether the body gets enough energy and building material.

What helps digestion

• Routine. Eating regularly at the same times each day teaches the body a rhythm.
• Fibre. Vegetables, greens, whole grains and pulses support healthy bowels.
• Chewing well. Digestion starts in the mouth, so eat slowly.
• Water. Drinking enough fluid helps prevent constipation.
• A light supper. Having your last meal a few hours before bed gives the digestive system a rest.
• Calm. Stress has a noticeable effect on the gut, so eat without rush or fuss.

Movement and warmth

A walk after meals, moderate physical activity and calm breathing support the natural movement of the gut. Relaxing the muscles of the abdomen and back during wraps can help ease general tension.

The centre's role

The centre does not provide medical treatment for diseases of the digestive tract. The procedures support the body's general recovery and help relieve tension, but with gastritis, ulcers, gallstones and other conditions they are used only after consulting a doctor.

Do not ignore long-lasting stomach pain, changes in weight or blood in your stools: see a doctor straight away.

What to cut down on

Eat less fried, very fatty, spicy and sweet food, avoid constant snacking through the day and do not eat on the go. These simple limits usually make life noticeably easier for the stomach and bowels.

Before any procedures, we recommend talking to a specialist at the centre, as contraindications are checked during the consultation.
