5. Fermented Foods for Digestive Health
Digestive issues are another common side effect of alcohol abuse.
Bloating, cramping, gas and general unease are signs of an unhappy digestive system. Another clear sign of digestive distress are skin issues. Dry skin, red itchy hives, and even psoriasis and eczema can be linked to the gut.
Alcohol decreases your stomach acid, making it difficult to break down the food you eat. Therefore When you’re unable to properly break down your food, you can’t absorb the nutrients in it.
In order to heal the digestive tract and all of these potential issues, you need fermented foods. Fermented foods are filled with happy bacteria that are going to increase your serotonin and dopamine and heal your digestive lining.
Popular fermented foods which help to heal the digestive tract are:
- Sauerkraut
- Miso
- Kimchi
- Yogurt
- Kefir
- Kombucha
- Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple Cider Vinegar is great for increasing stomach acid which helps you to break down your food and absorb all those good vitamins and minerals.
In addition It can also aid in heartburn and acid reflux.
