Dr. Tabatha Barber explains how stress during meals suppresses digestive enzymes and stomach acid, letting food linger in your gut long enough for harmful bacteria to multiply. Eating relaxed and mindful breaks the cycle.
Then lastly, how you're eating is really important. You want to eat in a relaxed state. If you are eating on the go, really quickly, super stressed out, your intestines are not going to be able to digest that food. Your pancreas will not make your digestive enzymes, your stomach won't make the stomach acid, and then that food will sit in there too long, and then the bacteria will multiply and overgrow, and that vicious cycle will continue.
