Screen Time & Your Gut - GutJoy

Think of your vagus nerve like a garden hose – when you slouch, you create a kink in that hose. This disruption can trigger a cascade of digestive issues: slower stomach emptying, decreased enzyme production, and even altered gut motility. Your screen posture might be an unexpected culprit for those dealing with bloating or irregular digestion.

Want to support your gut's wisdom? Start with the "eye-level rule": If your device isn't at eye level, your vagus nerve is compressed. Try this: Set a posture timer every 30 minutes, use a phone stand, or prop your tablet on books. Each time you adjust your posture, take three deep belly breaths. This simple act stimulates your vagus nerve and reminds your gut that it's safe to digest.

Ready to rewire this screen-gut connection? Your digestive system is incredibly responsive to these small changes. Sometimes, the path to better gut health isn't found in another supplement – it's in how you hold yourself while reading this post.
