Digestive juices are fluids secreted by glands in your mouth, stomach, pancreas, liver, and small intestine, containing water, enzymes (like amylase, protease, lipase), and acids that chemically break down food into nutrients your body can absorb for energy, repair, and growth. Key juices include saliva (starts starch digestion), gastric juice (protein breakdown), bile (fats), pancreatic juice (carbs, fats, proteins), and intestinal juice (further nutrient breakdown).
Objectivity, in this landscape, usually means not a “view from nowhere,” but “as independent of any one person’s quirks as we can practically make it.”
Listening to your body means paying attention to the signals your whole organism is sending, taking them seriously, and responding in a way that keeps you healthy and steady over time
Psychological “flow states” are much easier to enter and sustain when the underlying organismic flow is relatively harmonious and supported.
