4. ‘Please, eat slower and don’t overeat!’
Are you one of those who are eating way too fast? Always finishing your meal first before others? Well… news flash, your gut is not happy, quite the opposite, I’m afraid.
Taking enough time to chew what you eat is essential for your gut’s health. You can’t enjoy a healthy digestive process when you’re racing, not eating.
