Ted Talk Notes -
- Digestion begins in the brain, it’s phycological
- Enzymes in the saliva can break down the food that just entered the mouth.
- After going through the sections, it’s broken down in the stomach from hydrochloric acid.
- Food is medicine, it gives energy, vitamins, minerals, prevents diseases & illnesses, etc.
- 95% of nutrient absorption occurs in the stomach.
- Over 60% of our brain is composed of fat
- Vitamins A & K can power the immune system,
- Bacteria that’s friendly in the small intestine help be fed from our consumption to give
the benefits back to us, such as vitamin K for strong bones & biotin for strong hair &
nails.
- The entire digestive system is regulated by the nervous system
“ Rest & Digest”
- normal physiology of digestion.
● Increases stomach acid,
● releases digestive enzymes
● and bile to stimulus intestinal movement
● In the small intestine, stress decreases saliva, can cause heartburn, and loose stools. It
inhibits the normal contraction of organs. It would serve for normal digestion to do rest &
digest. Take a few deep breaths before a meal, practicing slow deep belly breathing,it
improves digestion. Chewing the food until it liquifies for easy swallowing, it also gives
time for the organs/systems to be prepared. Lastly, saying words of gratitude before a
mood because it begins a moment of focus to prepare for consumption. Mindset during
consumption controls digestion.
