Post Xmas Digestive Restoration!
It may sound tedious but actually counting the number of times you chew each mouthful creates a positive awareness and helps sets new eating habits and encourages digestive comfort.
There is an enzyme in our salvia called amylase which helps to break down carbohydrates. We liberate this vital enzyme by chewing thoroughly. Concentrate on consuming meals in a relaxed, unhurried, calm manner and environment. Eating several small meals throughout the day rather than one or two large ones. Taking several deep abdominal breaths prior to beginning each meal can be terribly helpful. Drinking 5 ml of apple cider vinegar prior to your largest meal of the day, should be on your New Year Resolution list! This encourages the production of hydrochloric acid, and aids digestion.
