Do you eat at your desk while grading, or you spend half your lunch walking a kid to the office and the other half waiting behind five people for the microwave?
Our body digests food best when it feels safe enough to slow down.
If you're answering emails or watching the clock while you eat, your body stays on alert and digestion gets pushed to the back of the line.
That's a reason so many of us deal with bloating and heartburn.
Even ten minutes of eating without doing anything else gives your body a chance to shift gears, and a lot of people notice their afternoon goes smoother because of it.
Tell us what your lunch looks like right now.
If you've found a way to protect even part of it, share that too, because someone in here needs the idea.
