Each of us has a favored area of the body where we store stress. For some it's the neck, others the lower back, and for many it's the abdomen. Stress management is essential for healthy digestion because the stress response shunts blood away from the abdominal organs and systems to the large working muscles of the body. This serves to conserve energy during periods of stressful activity, but

when stress becomes chronic, the entire digestive system tips toward imbalance. Furthermore, constant engagement of the abdominal muscles either for vanity's sake or from emotional armoring, restricts our access to deep breathing which adds an element of mental agitation and anxiety on top of digestive concerns. Those who have endured years with chronic digestive problems often have their digestive upsets reflected in their personalities as a cranky, crabby nature.
