What you eat at the beginning of the day is fuelling your body for either lasting, strong energy, or short burst often followed by sugar crash.
If Captain Crunch is part of your morning, then keep reading. These 3 foods will make a big difference to your energy levels.
Gut health is so important, and its actually my own poor gut health which lead me to study Nutrition. I find this topic very interesting, and its important for us all to have a basic understanding of why we are hearing so much about this right now in the media and on all of our food advertising.
Where is your gut?
The mouth is actually the first part of the gut. When we eat food, it passes down the throat into the stomach and then into the small intestine. The small intestine is where food is digested and absorbed by the bloodstream.
After that it proceeds into the large intestine, also known as the colon, and the final part of the colon leads on to the rectum, where waste products are stored until they are excreted.
Simply put, that is your gastrointestinal tract – and your gut!
Why is good gut health so important?
