The surprising mealtime trick that tames bloat-triggering gas and GI upset: Eat your side salad after your entree. The raw vegetables supply fiber and digestion-enhancing enzymes that help your body break down the food in your stomach more efficiently. Also smart: dressing your salad with oil and vinegar. Research has shown olive oil boosts nutrient intake while vinegar helps break down protein and slow carb absorption. The result? No gas, pain, or belly bloat.
The wardrobe tweak to FEEL YOUR BEST
One of the easiest ways to foster joy and good health: tailoring your clothes to your unique needs. When deciding what to wear, consider the radiant energy of the colors in your closet. Each one has an effect on your body, and color therapy has been used for centuries in the treatment of disease and injury. Anxious? Pick a blue top, which promotes tranquility and calmness. Sad? Add a pop of yellow. The sunny color has been shown to boost cheer. Grieving? Choose pink, which can help heal sadness and loss.
How does eating salad after entre fit with long held ubiquitous idea of eating lighter foods first during meal so that their digestion isn’t held up waiting for more digestively complex foods to complete? Thus all meal components stay timely in passing through areas of digestion. Newer science? How can we beter understand these food interfaces as active “participants”? I’ve followed your work since discovered during the 80’s. During “low fat craze” embraced by traditional at all levels of medicine and government guidance, *your* books introduced me to idea of utilizing healthy fats; were my introduction to sorting among fats and looking at functional roles for whole nutrition. Changed my life. Thank you.
