Anxiety and stress starve digestive organs of blood as your nervous system switches from rest and digest to fight or flight mode. The result is food stagnation and bloating - the cardinal signs of indigestion. The gut houses several organs, including the stomach, intestines, and womb, whose main purpose is to feed and nurture life. Nurture, kindness and affection infuse your belly with warmth and pleasant satisfaction. They help these organs fulfil their purpose and relax your belly. The warmth you feel is proof of restored circulation and blood flow. Relaxation and free flowing circulation, through affection and nurture, enhance digestive strength. That makes affection a digestive. Remember that giving affection is just as powerful a digestive as receiving it. Any time you offer charitable feelings towards your loved ones, neighbors, and community, you'll be helping your digestion. READ MORE ON THIS TOPIC

Since learning how to and applying love and respect for myself AND others (all others), I find this is absolutely and undoubtedly TRUE. Self-love and self-respect definitely must include taking time and attention to care for oneself (mind, body, and soul) through proper diet and dietary principles (which Ayurveda gives).
