Floor Sitting: Do You Spend Enough Time on the Ground?

Image
A while back, I developed an interest in the “archetypal postures” of ground-based sitting, squatting, and kneeling. My interest persisted, and I thought a full-on post about the potential benefits and logistics of floor sitting would be fun and helpful. I’ve found that there aren’t very many studies examining the effects of floor sitting, kneeling, and squatting on health, posture , or pain. You’ve got the “stability ball literature” (long story short: sitting on a stability ball tends to “increase the level of discomfort”), 7 but sitting on an inflated unstable sphere is more physiologically novel than a regular chair.

Running a fat-based metabolism just doesn’t work if you can’t digest fats . Here’s what it looks and feels like: Abdominal Pain and Discomfort After Fat-rich Meals What happens to fat—or anything, really—that goes down the “wrong pipe”? When you consume fat but aren’t able to effectively digest it, that fat has to go somewhere. That fat goes where it isn’t supposed to be, and sometimes that causes pain

What We’ve Been Eating

I’ve been doing a rough meal plan for each week and it’s been helpful to organize the fresh meals, frozen meals, ingredients we have on hand to use up, Plenty nights, and plan some takeout nights.
