Digestion 101: stomach acid, bile, and enzymes

🍽️ Digestion starts well before food reaches your stomach. It depends on stomach acid to break down protein, bile to digest fats, and enzymes to help absorb nutrients.

🧪 Low stomach acid can lead to bloating, reflux, and poor protein digestion. Inadequate bile flow can impair fat absorption and slow gut motility. Stress, rushed meals, and under eating fats can disrupt all three.
Many digestive symptoms are not about food intolerance but about inefficient digestion.

🔧 Tip: Slow down when eating, chew thoroughly, and include healthy fats to stimulate bile. Avoid grazing all day so your digestive system has time to work and reset.
