Improve Your Digestion


3 Tips to Improving Your Digestion 
 

1. Eat Your Veggies ~ the digestive enzymes and fiber in vegetables stimulate the breakdown of food into nutrients and transport toxins (waste).  Your mom wasn't lying (at least about this).  We only borrow our food for a period of time - don't let yours stay overtime.

2. Do NOT Work Through Lunch ~ We know you're super busy and can hardly take a bathroom break, let alone a lunch break. But added stress while eating can slow down or even shut down your digestion.  So, take a break - turn on Baroque, call a friend, do the Funky Chicken...

3.  Use chopsticks ~ As a Faux Asian (born in Korea, raised in Kansas City), I much prefer the fork at an Asian restaurant because it slows down the rate at which I can eat, but I feel like a sell-out otherwise.  This is exactly why eating with chopsticks can help your digestion - dinnertime is not a race. Pause, chew, breathe...
