Everyone knows that all illness and disease begins in the gut and the liver.
Your internal health reflects in your external looks
The Major Signs of an Unhealthy Gut:
- Depression & Anxiety
- Constipation
- Bloating
- Gas
- Food Cravings
The Gut-Brain Axis:
The gut-brain axis is a connection between your gut and your brain. This bidirectional system means that your gut and brain are constantly sending signals to each other, influencing not only your physical health but also your mental well-being.
Your gut is often referred to as the "second brain" because it houses a vast network of neurons and produces many of the same neurotransmitters, like serotonin, that are found in your brain. In fact, about 90% of serotonin, a chemical that helps regulate mood, is produced in the gut. This means that when your gut is out of balance, it can directly impact your mental health, leading to conditions such as depression and anxiety.
Conversely, when you're stressed, anxious, or depressed, these emotional states can disrupt your gut's normal function, leading to symptoms like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea. This close relationship between the gut and the brain highlights the importance of taking care of your digestive health not only to improve physical symptoms but also to support your emotional and psychological well-being.
By having a healthy gut, you can create a positive feedback loop that benefits both your mind and body.
1. Chew Your Foods Thoroughly:
The first step to digestion is the act of chewing your food. The more you chew your food the easier it will be for your gut to break down the food you just ate. Unchewed or Under chewed food leads too bloating and indigestion.
2. Avoid Certain Foods
- ALCOHOL
- ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES
- Seed Oils such as Vegetable, Canola, Palm, and Soy
- Non Natural Sugars
- Artificial Colorings and Flavors (ie. Red 40)
- Non Organic Foods
- Gluten
3. Probiotics
Every human has bacteria that lives within their large intestine, these bacteria will determine how healthy our gut truley is. You can eat probiotic foods or simply just take a probiotic supplement such as:
4. Stress
Stress sends the body in to HASNS (High Arousal Sympathetic Nervous State), this puts a major strain on your digestion and can make it so even if you are doing everything else you are still having the symptoms of poor gut health.
