Jackie's Health Tip of the Week 10/30/16
If you find yourself feeling anxious, jumpy, and panicky
mid-afternoon, or lethargic, uncomfortable and sluggish, it could be your lunch
stressing you out, rather than your job!
*Don't rush
your lunch. The faster you eat, the more likely you are to swallow air, which
can cause wind, bloating and abdominal pain. People often swallow too much air
as a reaction to stress. Try to sit quietly during and after lunch (preferably away from your desk!) A huge
amount of blood - 40 percent of your blood supply - passes through the
digestive system after a meal, allowing the nourishment to be absorbed and
distributed throughout the body. You shouldn't even shop, let alone exercise,
after eating because activity will divert most of the blood from the digestive
system to help muscles perform.
