We talked about how sleep impacts digestionâŚ
But hereâs the other side of it đ
HOW you eat impacts both your digestion AND your sleep.
If youâre eating:
đą in front of a screen
đ in the car
đť while answering emails
đŠ or in a stressed, rushed state
Your body stays in âgo modeâ (fight or flight)⌠and digestion + deep sleep require the opposite â rest and repair.
Mindful eating isnât about being perfect.
Itâs about shifting your nervous system.
Try this tonight:
⢠Turn off the TV.
⢠Chew slower than feels natural.
⢠Pause halfway through your meal and check in â âAm I still hungry?â
When we slow down, we digest better.
When we digest better, we sleep better.
And when we sleep better⌠everything works better.
Small shifts. Big ripple effect. đ¤
Save this as your gentle reminder to slow down at dinner tonight.
