There is a lot to be said about what we eat lately. That will vary from person to person, but we all rely upon the digestive system to take care of it all from top to bottom. You could say that the digestive system contains several major organs including the stomach, liver and pancreas, connected by long twisting tubes. That is the short version.
The long version would include not only the digestive organs but the hormones and chemicals that are released all along the way to help digest and regulate the passage of our food as it moves along. We feel hungry. We feel full. We crave something. It is controlled by the hormones in the GI tract and also in the brain. It is much more complicated than we want to admit. All we know is that we want to feel good and we don't like it when we don’t.
Yoga is something we can do to love our tummy and help our bodies do what they were made to do. A simple forward fold, either standing or sitting, is good for the gut. A full body twist facilitates hormones as well as movement in a healthy way. Loving your gut is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It’s a good idea not to wait for it to complain to make the needed changes. Be kind to that tummy and it will be kind to you. www.gobodhi.com.
