Poor digestion
Eating food while distracted, when your mind does not fully focus on eating. This can weaken the digestive system and make your stomach feel heavy.
Digestive enzymes
When you do not focus on the taste and texture of the food properly, digestive enzymes are not released in the stomach. This can cause gas, indigestion and bloating.
