Eating in a stressful environment can set the gut into fight or flight mode and interfere with digestion. Do this instead.
1. Take a moment before a meal to breathe deep, relax, and give thanks.
2. Eat in a quiet place with few distractions.
3. Eat in the same place whenever you can. It trains the body to calm down at mealtime.
4. Don’t talk about anything at mealtime that will stress you out.
5. Take a walk after eating. Mild exercise aids digestion and calms the nervous system.
