[00:00:00]One of the factors that we have with most patients and you see with most Americans, they do not take their time to relax during mealtime. They're not chewing their food thoroughly. Their nervous system is not relaxed and so the digestive juices, the digestive organs aren't going to work properly. You're activating the part of your nervous system if you're not relaxed which is going to counteract digestion. It's like if you're exercising for example, your your body is not worried about digesting food. It's going to send blood and nerve impulses to the muscles in the brain.

[00:00:27]Well, the same thing when we're eating, we've got to eat in a relaxed atmosphere or as best as we can. Slow down, chew your food and a lot of patients find this is such a simple technique but makes a huge difference. I've had many patients over the years tell me when they take more time their meals, when they relax, when they chew their food more thoroughly, their gas and their bloating, abdominal cramping greatly improve.
