Based on our previous two episodes,
we now know that our gut is what decides
how healthy our body looks and feels.
The bacteria present in our gut that decide this,
provide good or bad results depending on everything
from what we eat to how we tackle our day.
Here’s 5 steps to keep it as healthy as you can,
because your guts health and happiness
is directly related to your own.
Keeping awake and denying your body
enough time to sleep,
skipping breakfast to reach work on time,
downing loads of coffee to keep energised
and chaining yourself to your desk for hours on end.
Does this sound like your day?
Well, we’re all are guilty of committing these lifestyle crimes
and this is what’s deteriorating our gut health.
It’s important to understand
that we have to take charge
and give our body more rest,
treat our guts to a good breakfast,
cut down on caffeine
and be more active through the day
to see better results.
Stress is a major factor
that wreaks havoc on our gut health.
Now between work, bills and relationships,
life brings us a fair amount of stress daily.
However if this continues,
our gut reacts to it by increasing the growth of bad bacteria
which then disrupts the healthy balance of our body
and this prevents it from generating
various hormones which add up to the digestive load.
Trying to stay calm through moments of anxiety and panic
will help you massively.
What we eat has a direct relationship with our gut
so there is a list of absolute no-no’s.
Processed and junk food,
artificial sweeteners,
fizzy drinks,
food colouring,
preservatives,
sugars
and carbonated beverages
are a threat to the community of microorganisms
living iside gut.
They hamper the growth of the healthy bacteria
and cause bloating.
So the best way to tackle this is to be smart
and stay away from these troublemakers.
Catching a cold and cough with every seasonal shift
is a sign of low immunity and it may
be time to look at your gut.
That is because a large chunk of our immune system
resides in our gut and low immunity
causes an unbalanced mix of the gut microorganisms.
Moreover, constant pill popping
poses a serious threat to our gut as well.
So, brace up and take charge of your immunity now!
Did you know
we spend 90% of our time indoors
in cabins, cubicles and air-conditioned homes?
There were times when we loved being in nature,
but now we’re barely exposed to the outdoors
and that in return, is changing our microbiome.
So open the windows around you,
spend more time outside
and maybe even plant a sapling!
All these tiny things help enhance the variety of gut bacteria
that keep you nourished.
Now that we know what not to do in order to keep our gut healthy,
I will reveal my list of secret foods
that enhance the good bacteria
and better you physical and mental health.
So brace yourselves for the next episode,
until which time stay tuned and stay GLAMRS.
