How To Improve Your Gut Health

Hippocrates said, “All disease begins in the gut.”

And while this may not be 100% true for every disease in every person, more and more research shows that our gut (digestive system) has a bigger role in many diseases than we used to think. And we're not just talking about heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, IBD, etc. We're talking about all kinds of issues like allergies, pain, mood disorders, and nutrient deficiencies.

There are a lot of reasons for this.

Beat the Bloat

Did you eat too much? Full tummy? Bloated? Pants too tight after the big meal? Its no fun when you feel sick or bloated after you eat. It can ruin the mood, and send you home to bed early.

I have went through this, and I know how you feel. Its frustrating and awful to feel sick and bloated. UUgh. You don't have to suffer from tummy pain, or feeling like your pants are too tight. 

Here are a few simple tips to lighten the load during and after a big meal. 

When you sit down to eat, try these tips:

  1. Have small sips of water with your food instead of big glasses full. If you drink a couple big glasses of water/ juice/ pop, it dilutes your digestive juices in your tummy, and then takes longer for your body to digest. Try this during your next big meal, it really works!

There are so many additives that go into our bodies during every day life, from food preservatives, alcohol, pollutants, body care products and the strange ingredients in processed foods. Detoxing gives your body a break and gives a chance for all of your organs to strengthen and heal. 

Here are 5 Reasons Why You Should Detox:

  1. Prevent Disease- Many diseases are a result of poor lifestyle choices. We are all guilty of that from time to time. A good detox gives your body a chance to recover from these choices, by lessening the load on your organs and cleaning out your digestive system. This in turn helps your body to age well, and prevent long term disease.
