In the current economic climate, and especially for those employees who are in the throes of being laid off or feeling the threat of upcoming lay offs, managing stress will be an important issue to master.
In this interview, Marc David, an expert in the psychology of eating, talks about the important role stress plays in digestion. Please view the video above for 5 minutes of well-spent time on the subject.
*The stress response causes a number of detrimental events in your body, including:
*Decreased nutrient absorption
*Decreased oxygenation to your gut
*As much as four times less blood flow to your digestive system, which leads to decreased metabolism
*Decreased enzymatic output in your gut – as much as 20,000-fold!
