In this blog post we are digging into what foods you can use to provide support for your gut health.
I divided this up into 5 main categories:
1. Digestion
2. Detoxification
3. Beneficial bacteria
4. Gut lining/integrity
5. Immune system
One important thing to note is that we have to be eating enough in order for us to benefit from these foods. Under eating and/or skipping meals is a stressor, which can further increase inflammation and impact our immune system and overall gut health. We also need energy to detoxify.
Under eating also leads to a slower metabolism, which impacts our digestion. If you’re struggling with constipation and/or bloating and you’re not eating enough, adding in more bitter foods may not be enough to help.
This is just another reminder that we cannot skip the foundations.
