5 Simple Habits That Transformed My Gut Health - And Can Transform Yours Too
If you're struggling with gut health, you might think that you need to overhaul your diet and take a bunch of supplements. But as I discovered, simplicity is the key to transforming your gut health. These 5 habits helped me achieve better health, and they can help you too.
Letting Go of Perfection
Comparing yourself to others and trying to live up to someone else's health standards can hold you back from achieving better health. Instead, focus on what works for you and let go of the need to be perfect. Check out this blog post to help with perfectionistic thinking.
REST
Your body needs rest to repair, so don't forget to schedule downtime in your day. Resting is productive and essential for good health.
Learning how your body works
Your body is a complex system, and targeted organ support is needed to help you get to the root of gut health issues. Don't rely on a single solution like fiber or supplements. (Here is a quick run down of how the gut works.)
Lifting the restrictions
Restricting foods and food groups for long periods of time can keep you stuck. Align your choices with where you are in your gut health journey and work with your physiology to eat nutrient-dense foods.
Learning about food to understand what you're putting in your body
Food is not neutral; it either supports or detracts from your health goals. Understanding which foods are nourishing for your body can help you feel satisfied and improve your relationship with food.
