In this edition of Press Plus, we conduct an interview with Certified Holistic Nutritionist Karen Langston about the importance of breathing before eating.

Breathing is important before eating for many reasons. Before we take in food, there are numerous functions taking place that we do not have control over. However, we do have control over two; breathing before eating and chewing.

Before you bring that first morsel of food into your mouth you need to breathe. Breathing is essential to good digestion. Breathing can help reduce digestive symptoms of bloating, gas and stomach cramps.
