Digestion begins before food is even eaten. The nervous system helps determine how prepared the body is to break down, absorb, and process a meal.
When the body is rushed, stressed, or distracted, digestion often becomes less efficient. This can contribute to symptoms like bloating, heaviness, or discomfort even with supportive foods.
Simple things like slowing down before meals, sitting while eating, and taking a few calmer breaths can help shift the body into a state that supports digestion more effectively.
