The Three Crucial Minutes Before Eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The three minutes before you eat are critical to digestion and the absorption of nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first thing you should do is drink a glass of water. This will help get your body ready for food and also make sure that you don\u2019t overeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should then eat a light snack about 15 minutes before eating your meal \u2013 this will help fill up your stomach and make it less likely that you\u2019ll overindulge at dinner time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, avoid coffee, alcohol, or cigarettes in the three minutes before eating, as they can slow down digestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Do During the Ten Hours Between Meals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are all familiar with the rules of healthy eating. Eat whole foods, avoid processed foods, eat more veggies and fewer carbs and fats, exercise regularly, and drink lots of water. These rules are important to living a long healthy life, but there is one rule that most people don’t realize they are breaking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat when you’re hungry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of us go through our days eating <\/a>on a regular schedule regardless of whether we feel hungry. We grab fast food because it’s cheap and convenient or order in because we don’t want to cook after work or school. The problem with this type of eating is that it trains your body to expect food every few hours, even when you aren’t hungry! This can lead to overeating as well as weight gain from snacking between meals (which most people do).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ease your body\u2019s digestion by eating warm foods, and aid your detoxification by eating fermented foods.<\/h2>\n\n\n
