You Might Be Eating Healthy - But Are You Digesting It?"
Apr 15, 2025
You swapped junk for salads, started drinking smoothies, even took supplements. But still feel bloated, sluggish, or hungry all the time?
Here’s the thing: It’s not what you eat. It’s what your body absorbs. Most people focus on the plate. But real nutrition happens in the gut. If your digestion’s off, even the cleanest diet won’t work.
Here are signs you’re not digesting properly:
Constant bloating or gas
Fatigue after meals
Unexplained cravings
Nutrient deficiencies despite eating ‘right’
What messes with digestion:
Stress
Poor meal timing
Lack of chewing (yes, that matters)
Over-snacking
Fix it with the M.E.A.L. method:
Mindful eating - no screens, slow down
Eat warm, whole foods
Add spices like ginger, cumin, fennel
Limit liquids during meals
Your gut is your second brain. Feed it and treat it well.
