Working, reading, driving, or watching TV while you are eating reduces your digestive power by 40% or more.
40% of digestion starts with the cephalic phase.
The cephalic phase of digestion consists of smelling, preparing, seeing, and thinking about food.
Make sure you are utilizing your cephalic phase of digestion.
You know your cephalic phase is working when you are salivating and your mouth is all wet. If your mouth is dry before eating, then you’re likely stressed or not focused on eating. You’re focused on something else.
Shift your focus to eating.
Take a moment to actually see, smell, and think about your food before you take your first bite. While you are eating, continue seeing, smelling, and tasting your meal.
Hopefully, it’s a great one :)
