WANT TO KNOW HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY GUT AND KEEP IT THAT WAY?

It’s probably not what you’d think, and some of these may surprise you with just how easy they are… Small things done consistently, is what makes the biggest difference!

HERE ARE MY TOP 7 DAILY HABITS FOR A HEALTHY GUT

  1. BOWEL MOVEMENT(S)
    Having a daily bowel movement – this is a non-negotiable to keep the gut clean and healthy, it means you are eliminating toxins and your detoxification pathways are open (and if this isn’t happening for you, DM me!)

  2. BONE BROTH
    A morning mug of bone broth before I start my day helps line my gut with nutrients to support a healthy gut lining and feed my good bugs! There are so many benefits of bone broth, read about it here

  3. BELLY BREATHING
    Deep belly breathing to activate my rest, digest, reproduce and repair system (PNS), if you are living in fight or flight (often unknowingly), you will be chest breathing. This takes blood away from your digestive system and can actually lead to bloating, indigestion, and other gut issues.

  4. EXERCISE
    Regular movement = regular movement, and I mean that quite literally, get your body moving so your bowels do too! Even if you are just going for a 30 minute walk daily it will really support your gut and how it functions!

  5. PROBIOTICS
    I personally choose to take probiotics on the regular to keep growing the diversity and richness of my gut microbiome (aka increase the amount + quality of my good bugs). But quality is important… if you aren’t sure where to start, DM me!

  6. FIBRE
    Fibre is the toothbrush for your gut, you don’t want any plaque building up (yes that happens in your gut, not just your teeth)… So adding a regular serve of leafy greens and other non-starchy veggies to main meals keeps you regular

  7. WATER
    Drinking 3L + of water each day keeps your body hydrated so the cells can communicate effectively, and it also keeps your stools flowing regularly, we aren’t a fan of constipation around here!

*BONUS HABIT* I have also been loving the addition of @mitchells.nz gut supporting teas, having ‘digest well’ in the morning and ‘digest soothe’ before bed to help me unwind!

FINAL THOUGHTS

All of these habits continue to make sure that I am managing my gut health, keeping my body in a state of flow and allowing my body to keep having a regular healthy bowel movement each day so I can absorb my nutrients and have the energy to thrive!
