🌿 Teach Me Tuesday: Better Digestion Starts Here.
When digestion feels off, most people look at food first.
But digestion is not just about what you eat.
It’s about how your body is functioning while you eat.
If you’re in burnout, not sleeping well, or constantly “on,” your body is not in a state to digest properly.
So today, we keep it simple.
Teach Me 3 Things for Better Digestion:
1. Slow your body down before you eat
Digestion happens best in a calm state.
If you’re rushing, stressed, or distracted, your body shifts away from digestion.
Before your meal:
Pause for a moment
Take a few slow breaths
Sit down and give your body a signal that it’s safe to receive food
This alone can make a noticeable difference.
2. Support your body with warm, simple foods
When your system feels overwhelmed, heavy or complicated meals can feel like more work.
Start with:
Warm meals instead of cold
Cooked vegetables instead of raw
Simple combinations instead of overloaded plates.
Think: easier to break down, easier to absorb.
3. Chew your food and give your body time
Digestion starts in your mouth, not your stomach.
If you’re eating quickly:
Food isn’t broken down well
Your stomach has to work harder
You’re more likely to feel bloated or uncomfortable.
Slow it down just a little:
Chew more than usual
Put your fork down between bites
Notice when you start to feel full.
Bring it together:
If your nervous system is overwhelmed, your digestion will feel it.
We’re not forcing change.
We’re creating conditions for your body to work better.
Start with one of these today.
