Where does digestion start?
In the brain 🧠
Aromas and sights while cooking signals the body to prepare for digestion. This means digestion starts way earlier than most people may think.
⏩We live in such a crazy busy world where access to food is instant. We’re literally skipping over the first stage of digestion and we’re seeing the impacts of it.
⏸️We’re not taking the time to slow down when eating because we’re on the go and don’t have the time.
Why is this important?
We’re seeing a lot of gut health problems and we need to be addressing all areas, this includes home life. Studies show that children who grow up in households where home-cooked meals are frequent tend to have healthier dietary habits. This can lead to less digestive problems later on in life.
What symptoms can arise from a lack of taking the time to cook and initiate the digestive process?
- bloating
- gas
- constipation
- nutritional deficiencies
- acne
- inflammation
and so much more
For those wanting to work on their gut health, I encourage you to start cooking at home. Make your meals, add aromatic ingredients, if you need help with this please reach out 🫶🏼
