Simple tips for gut health
Struggling with digestion, weight loss, weight gain, gas, and bloating?
You are not alone!
Over 50% of Americans have digestive distress that they consider “normal”. However, the impact of living with a gut that’s out of balance is tremendous. Gut issues can affect the liver, skin, immune system, and nervous system. A digestive issue can also trigger more serious conditions like diabetes or cancer.
Getting your gut back in balance is simple, but it requires the appropriate tools and seasonal tending. Digestion can get out of balance when the seasons change, which is why it’s helpful to eat with the seasons.
TIPS TO SUPPORT DIGESTIVE HEALTH
Eat magnesium-rich foods to promote intestinal motility. My favorite ones are almonds, cashews, peanuts, spinach, black beans, brown rice, avocado, and raw cacao.
Try tea between meals instead of snacking. Allow 12 to 14 hours to pass between dinner and breakfast.
Promote bile flow and eliminate GERD by using these spices in cooking: cardamom, fennel, cumin, coriander and ginger.
Take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar before meals to improve digestion and relieve nausea, gas and bloating.
Eat prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. Prebiotics are food for gut flora (like artichokes, asparagus, leeks, avocado). Probiotics are the microorganisms that feed on those prebiotics, and post-biotics are the results of probiotics consuming that food.
