Bloated? Stressed? Try This One-Minute Breathing Trick
Feb 06, 2025
Welcome back to One Minute Reset! 🌿
This week, we’re diving into the connection between breath and digestion. Did you know that how you breathe after a meal can impact your gut health?
A simple deep breathing exercise can help ease bloating, improve digestion, and promote overall gut wellness. Let’s get into it!
Feeling heavy after a meal?
Try this simple breathing exercise to support digestion and ease bloating. Deep breathing helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, which promotes better gut function.
Here’s how to do it
- Sit comfortably and place your hands on your abdomen.
- Inhale deeply through your nose, allowing your belly to expand.
- Exhale slowly through your mouth, feeling your abdomen gently fall.
- Repeat for one minute, focusing on slow, controlled breaths.
Why it works
Deep breathing increases oxygen flow, reduces stress, and signals your body to shift into "rest and digest" mode. It’s a simple yet powerful way to support your gut after meals!
Your breath is a tool for better digestion—use it! Just one minute of mindful breathing can make a big difference. Try it after your next meal and see how you feel.
