Importance of Chewing and Sitting Down While Eating
One of the crucial interventions for improving gut health is simply chewing your food thoroughly. This process helps break down the nutrients and prepare them for absorption in the gut. Recommending clients to chew each mouthful 10 to 20 times not only promotes better digestion but also allows them to be more mindful of their food. Another important aspect is sitting down while eating to create a relaxed environment. This helps activate the parasympathetic state, which is essential for optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
