Food sensitivities are a big deal and it seems the amount of people with food sensitivities are growing every day. Since many issues are linked to food sensitivities, food elimination seems to be the most common approach, but I think there's so much more to consider first.
Re-Visiting The Deep Squat
Did you know that squatting is your natural version of sitting? Before chairs, squatting was a natural position to rest, give birth, cook, eat, create art and take a bowel movement. Sitting in chairs is a fairly new phenomenon compared to how long humans have been squatting.
I remember as a new mom years ago I would try to get my toddler boys to sit in little Ikea chairs I had bought for them thinking how cute it would be, but they never would. My boys would always opt for the floor and would squat while playing. I don’t think it’s our natural inclination to sit in chairs.
Your ability to squat can determine your ability to eliminate, detox, move your spine and strengthen your pelvic floor. We rarely think about squatting as a part of our everyday movement medicine, but the truth is you really can’t function well without it.
