Daily Digestion Care
Eat warm, chew well, walk after meals, stop at 80% full.
What it is
Eat your main meal at midday. Sit, chew each bite 20 times, eat in silence or light conversation. Take a 10-minute slow walk (shatapavali) after each meal. Stop eating when you feel 80% full.
Who should avoid / take care
- Drinking large amounts of fluid with meals (dilutes digestive enzymes)
- Eating while walking, driving, or working
- Seek medical advice for persistent pain, vomiting, blood in stool, unexplained weight loss, trouble swallowing, or a lasting change in bowel habits
Benefits
- Less bloating and gas
- Regular bowel movements
- Steadier energy
- Better nutrient absorption
Why it helps
Digestion begins in the mouth. Chewing breaks food down mechanically and mixes it with salivary enzymes, reducing the load on the stomach. Walking after meals improves glucose clearance.
