Poor digestion may result from individual constitutional factors or from neglect of dietary and lifestyle habits. It is essential to cultivate the habit of eating meals at regular times. Your diet should primarily consist of high-protein, high-vitamin foods. Additionally, drink warm water regularly, keep your abdomen warm, and perform gentle clockwise abdominal massage to promote gastrointestinal motility. A gastroscopy is also recommended. If gastritis is diagnosed, surgical intervention may be considered.
