How You Eat Is Just As Important As What You Eat

Here are 11 healthful tips on how to eat so that you may digest your food optimally. If you have digestive issues and/or feel super tiered after you eat, these tips will help your digestive system come back into balance. How you eat is just as important as what you eat.

1. Eat in a quiet, settled atmosphere
2. Offer some sort of blessing or thought of gratitude towards your food before you eat
