Chewing is exercise

Chewing is also excellent exercise for the jawbone, and helps to
encourage healthy circulation of blood to the area, which brings

nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and the brain. It is necessary
to relax while you eat, chewing will be easier this way. Sit down for
your meal—don’t stand—and don’t rush.

Try to avoid eating while in front of your computer or while driving.
Managing stress will also help the digestive juices do their job. After
you have finished eating, stay seated for 15 minutes—this aids
digestion. Focus on regular breathing and the sensation that you

are full and happy.

Aim for chewing each bite at least 20 times before you swallow—
your digestive tract will thank you!

Secret # 10: Get Outside

Getting outside in the fresh air and

sunshine has multiple benefits. A
brisk 15-minute walk in the sunshine
increases circulation, floods your

body with oxygen, stimulates your
muscles, and gives you an energy-
boosting hit of vitamin D.
