Avoid maida (white flour), as it sticks on the intestine and prevents the nutrition from the food to be absorbed by the intestinal lining
Over several years, the gut lining becomes covered with fermenting waste products leading to growth of bacteria. This leads to problems of digestion, nutritional deficiency and water retention. Many recurrent infections of the body also occur due to the digestive tract being clogged with an unhealthy lining which promotes toxins entering the blood stream.

To ensure intestinal health one must do a light detox diet once in a fortnight.
On that day, avoid all heavy foods like meat, poultry, eggs, heavy paneer, dals, pickles, colas, churans etc. Have lots of fruits, vegetable juices, soups with herbs and a light vegetable dalia or khichri for lunch. Try to drink lukewarm water on that day.
Avoid eating too much non-vegetarian food as it makes the intestine acidic and puts additional load on the liver.
