Discover the Importance of a Healthy Gut

Poor gut health can affect your entire body. In fact, there’s a term known as ‘leaky gut syndrome’ that describes a condition where one’s intestinal walls are inflamed and have ‘leaks’ that allow toxins and bacteria to leak into the blood stream.

When this happens, your body feels sick and there’s a lot of discomfort. The problem here is that just like leaky gut syndrome is not a diagnosis you’ll get from any doctor.

Just like adrenal fatigue, they don’t recognize it as a disease.

And yet, millions of people have this problem. The symptoms vary from person to person. Generally, someone suffering from poor gut health may see symptoms such as:

* Digestive problems such as gas, bloating, constipation, etc.
* Acne or eczema
* Brain fog, depression or anxiety
* Stress
* Inflammation
* Headaches, joint pain and fatigue
* Nutrient deficiencies

These are just a few of the common symptoms. It’s because these symptoms are so common that doctors find it difficult to identify the cause.

In this case, you’ll need to solve the problem holistically.

* Healing your gut

Common sense will apply here. If you want to heal your gut, the most important factor are the foods you eat.

Processed foods, refined oils, junk food, and alcohol inflame the gut and upset the balance of gut flora in your intestines.

There are a few foods you can consume to encourage the growth of your gut flora. These foods are:

* Probiotic foods (cheese, buttermilk, kimchi, yogurt, pickles kombucha, bone broth, etc.)
* Prebiotic foods (leeks, onion, garlic, apples, asparagus, bananas, oatmeal, chicory root, etc.)
* Nuts and seeds
* Fruit rich in fiber (avocados, passionfruit, pears, apples, kiwifruit, blackberries, etc.)
* Non-starchy vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, bean sprouts, artichoke, cucumber, okra, eggplant, etc.)

Make these foods a part of your daily diet while reducing and eliminating the detrimental foods.

It may take you a while as you gradually ease into clean eating, but the effort will be worth your while.

Sometimes, taking a probiotic supplement may help if you find it difficult to get enough probiotic foods in your diet.

* Other factors

Besides just watching your diet, you should also ensure that you’re getting sufficient good quality sleep daily.

A lack of sleep lowers your immunity and will exacerbate the gut issue. Your body heals when you rest.

Stress is another silent culprit. Are you feeling constantly stressed out?

There’s an adage that states “It’s not what you eat, but what’s eating you that matters most.”

When it comes to gut health, BOTH matters. So, take time to relax and de-stress. Avoid sweating the small stuff.

Practice gratitude journaling or meditation to calm your mind and soul.

Do what works for you. The goal is to avoid being stressed out, because it will have a negative impact on your gut health.

A healthy gut can be achieved just by following the tips in this article. While the advice given is simple, trying to switch to a clean diet and a proper sleep schedule may be a struggle.

These new habits will be tough to cultivate at first. So, aim for measurable progress in reasonable time.

Making small positive changes to your diet and lifestyle will prevent sudden food cravings and mental resistance.

Once you get the hang of it, you’ll look and feel much better. Your gut is waiting to heal. It just needs some help from you. Do give it a hand today.
