@Anita Calandra This is such an important reminder chewing is often underestimated! 👏 Breaking food down thoroughly with each bite not only makes digestion easier but also helps your body absorb nutrients more efficiently. It’s a simple practice, but it can drastically reduce bloating and discomfort. Do you tend to chew more thoroughly when eating mindfully, or is it something you actively have to remind yourself to do?

@Anita Calandra Great swap! ✨ Sparkling water with a splash of lemon keeps the fizz without the sugar crash or gut irritation that soda can cause. It’s a simple change that can make a big difference over time hydration + flavor + digestion-friendly. Do you have a favorite twist you like to add, like herbs or fruit, to make it even more enjoyable?

@Anita Calandra Love this tip simple, yet so effective! 🙌 Putting the fork down between bites gives your body time to signal fullness and starts digestion properly. It’s amazing how just a small pause can reduce bloating and make meals feel more satisfying. Do you practice this with every meal, or just when you’re aiming for extra mindful eating?

@Anita Calandra Absolutely this is such an important point! Fiber is often treated like a “set-and-forget” fix, but too much at once can backfire, especially if your digestive system isn’t ready. It’s all about balance: gradual increases, paired with plenty of water, and paying attention to how your body responds. Do you notice certain types of fiber (soluble vs. insoluble) affect you differently?

@Anita Calandra For me, mornings tend to feel smoother digestion-wise, especially if I start the day with something light and easy to process. Later in the day, after multiple meals or heavier foods, things can feel a bit sluggish or bloated if I haven’t paced myself. I’m curious do you notice a clear pattern for yourself, or does it vary depending on what and when you eat?
