Small habits can have a powerful ripple effect, especially when it comes to digestion. A quick walk, gentle stretch, or stepping outside to catch some morning sun can help reset your internal clock. Within 30 minutes of waking, exposure to light helps balance your circadian rhythm. That rhythm, in turn, influences sleep, mood, and yes, your digestion.
Starting the day with a big glass of water (ideally with lemon or a pinch of sea salt) doesn’t just wake up your brain. It helps kick-start digestion and primes it to function optimally throughout the day.
More Connected Than You Think
Your gut and brain communicate constantly through your nervous system. If stress, poor posture, or spinal dysfunction interferes with this system, it can disrupt your digestion and upset this connection.
Chiropractic care helps improve nervous system function by restoring healthy spinal movement and alignment. This supports clearer signalling between your brain and digestive organs, allowing your body to respond and adapt the way it was designed to.
Digestive Health in Kids: More Than Just What They Eat
Children’s digestive health is shaped by more than diet. While fermented foods like sauerkraut and kefir can help build up good gut bacteria, nervous system function also plays a role. Some families notice that when their child’s spine and nervous system are working well, digestion, mood, and immunity seem to improve.
