Not quite ready to change your diet? Get started with these 3 effective eating habits to improve your digestion!
#1 - CHEW CHEW CHEW!!!
WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL
Chew small amounts of food at a time and chew as much as you can before swallowing.
WHY IT BENEFITS YOU
Chewing helps to signal stomach acid and enzymes production. It is easier for your stomach to chemically and mechanically break down your food before entering your intestines for further breakdown and absorption.

Eating habits, upset stomach, digestion, gut health, blood sugar/stress/energy levels, hormonal balance, mood, circulation, immunity, cell regeneration, nutrient absorption & skin/nail/hair health.
#2 - PRACTICE INTUITIVE EATING & LOVE YOUR FOOD
WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL
Ensure you are relaxed, sitting and focused without distractions while eating. Smell and take in the colours and textures of your food. Think about how grateful you are to have the food and how it will nourish you.

When you are focused, your body can focus! If you are in a stressful state when eating, your body is in Fight or Flight mode and halts digestion process. Your food might then sit in your stomach and gut causing discomfort, bloating and gas.
