They're really in a rush day to day, going around different errands... And so a really simple thing that you can do today is simply chew your food. By chewing your food right, you're not only optimizing overall digestion but your gut health too.""If you are eating anything that is gonna be processed, that has a label, really make sure that you are reading the ingredients because this is where even if something doesn't necessarily contribute a caloric value or even any like protein fats or carbs, our body, and our gut still needs to process it.""More often than not, most people feel a lot better having smaller, more frequent meals versus having these massive high volume meals only a few times a day. Because think about it, you're just putting a lot of volume onto your gut and digestion. And so it can be a little bit more difficult to digest."Links Mentioned:Nikki's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nikkikorek/Nikki's Website - https://www.nikkikorek.com/Free Facebook Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/NIXINCommunityNOW ACCEPTING NEW PRIVATE COACHING CLIENTS >>> Apply Here: https://nixinnutrition.typeform.com/applynow Hosted on Acast.
