Interview with nutritionist and nutritionist Kristina Aralitsa-Tushak.

Why is regular digestion so important?

Everyone knows that with the help of digestive processes, our body receives energy and nutrients necessary for life. In addition, disposal of waste and substances unnecessary for the body also occurs in the digestive system, in its last section - the large intestine. It is imperative to strike a balance between the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of unnecessary ones. It is this balance that we nutritionists call regular digestion.

Speaking about health, do not forget about the crucial role of intestinal immune cells in maintaining immunity. So regular digestion is really the key to the health of the whole body.

What is slow digestion?

The fact is that the human digestive system is a complex mechanism with the finest settings. All organs and glands of the digestive tract must work harmoniously and synchronously, providing a person with the necessary nutrients and energy. Even if one part of the process fails, digestion becomes slow and irregular.

Unfortunately, many factors in modern life pose a threat to the health of the digestive system.

A sedentary lifestyle, unbalanced diet lead to the so-called slow and irregular digestion, and as a result, to constipation.

Can you tell us a little more about what specific factors lead to slow digestion?

In a nutshell, nutritionists identify 5 main causes of irregular digestion. This is an unhealthy diet - a passion for fast food, semi-finished products, a small amount of fiber in food, a sedentary lifestyle, which leads to a decrease in the tone of the intestinal muscles, a lack of fluid and a deficiency of some trace elements (primarily magnesium).

What are the signs of slow digestion? How can you suspect yourself of this process?

Many people believe that their digestive system is okay, although they only have a bowel movement two or three times a week. Unfortunately, this is not so. Although each person has their own digestive rhythm, irregular bowel movements less than once a day, a feeling of incomplete emptying of the intestines, bloating are manifestations of slow digestion that can lead to chronic constipation.

And he, as a rule, significantly reduces the quality of life due to a depressed mood and a constant feeling of lack of strength, which ultimately is fraught with the development of depression.

How to normalize digestion and make it regular?

First of all, you need to see a specialist to identify the causes of slowed digestion. However, even on your own, by making some simple adjustments to your lifestyle, you can achieve amazing results. Of course, you need to balance your diet, increase the amount of plant fiber consumed, devote more time to physical activity and drink water rich in micronutrients.

Recent clinical trials conducted in Germany (results published in the authoritative journal European Journal of Nutrition) showed significant improvement in the functioning of the digestive system in patients who consumed Donat Mg mineral water.

This is a natural mineral water from a spring in Rogaška Slatina (Slovenia), the healing tradition of which goes back 400 years. Thanks to its unique composition, Donat Mg is best known as a natural solution to constipation.

How does mineral water help in eliminating slow digestion problems and constipation?

The effect of mineral water is primarily associated with the content of sulfate salts and magnesium. Sulfate salts in this case are the main active ingredient, and magnesium is an auxiliary one. Sulfates based on osmosis extract water from the intestinal cavity, the volume of the contents in the intestine increases from three to five times, so it enhances intestinal motility, normalizing the process of defecation.

How to use Donat to prevent constipation?

Typically, using 300 ml in the morning on an empty stomach and 200 ml before dinner helps to avoid constipation.

It is best to drink it warm or at room temperature. To avoid bloating, you may be advised to remove excess gas before drinking water (vigorous stirring or heating will help). Detailed instructions are available on the Donat Mg Moments mobile app.
