Inhale calm, exhale stress. Your gut deserves some yoga too!
So, what does yoga have to do with your gut? Yoga is more than just stretching and posing—it’s a powerful way to manage stress and create a sense of inner calm that positively impacts both your mind and body.
When you practice deep, mindful breathing, you’re not only calming your mind but also helping your digestive system work more smoothly.
Ever notice how stress can send you running to the bathroom? That’s the brain-gut connection at work!
When we’re stressed, the body goes into “fight or flight” mode, shifting energy away from digestion. This can leave you feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and just plain off. Been there, done that!
Stress doesn’t just slow down digestion; it also fuels the growth of bad microbes in your gut, which can weaken your immune system and impact your overall well-being.
But by practicing calming activities like yoga and deep breathing, you can support your gut health and create a better balance of microbes.
So, take a few deep breaths, slow down, and give your gut a break. Your digestion will thank you!
