FENNEL: THE FRIENDLY PLANT OF DIGESTION

Who hasn't at least once failed to digest?

Having a swollen stomach , feeling heaviness and intestinal discomfort are some of the warning signs of poor digestion.

Dyspepsia or indigestion can be due to stress, a poor diet or a habit of eating in a hurry.

In doing so, the stomach becomes overloaded and slows to empty itself with consequent heaviness and tension. The feeling of bloating and heaviness in the stomach after meals is sometimes associated with sleepiness and difficulty concentrating.

Closely related to poor digestion is gastroesophageal reflux (daytime but also night) which presents with heartburn after meals with acid regurgitation and abnormal heartbeats.

Can these annoying ailments be remedied?

Nature comes to our aid thanks to the fennel plant, especially its white leaf sheaths, which form the heart, to be eaten raw or cooked, and its seeds, rich in minerals such as iron and calcium. Fennel is a low calorie vegetable, rich in water and dietary fiber.
