# TCM offers 5 simple hacks to fix gut health 2026-08-14T17:27:33+00:00 | Health & Science | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Traditional Chinese Medicine says fixing gut health starts with the spleen, not just diet. Acupuncturist and herbalist Dr Lily Choi says the spleen and stomach work as digestive partners, and mental state affects digestion. She suggests five habits: chew food thoroughly, eat mindfully without distractions, prefer warm cooked food over raw salads, sleep between 11pm and 3am for detox, and never skip breakfast. Choi warns that cold or raw foods weaken digestive fire, causing bloating and sluggishness.
