The Gentle Gut Cookbook of Habits

Reuben Salt

A meal eaten standing at the counter digests differently than one eaten sitting down, slowly, without a phone in hand. This is the case for the habits around food carrying as much weight as the food itself: how chewing speed changes what your gut has to do, why the same meal can sit easy or heavy depending on timing and mood, and a set of small, repeatable practices that make eating gentler on the whole system. Calm, grounded, easy to start tonight.
