Tips to stay true to your Gut Health Commitment

Alright, let’s get real. Making your gut happy doesn’t require a complete life overhaul in one go. Nope, it’s about making small, consistent changes that add up over time. Here are some simple tips to help keep your gut healthy and happy in 2024.

1. Manage your stress

Stress is more than just a state-of-mind—the ‘butterflies’ you feel when excited or nervous are proof of the close connection between the brain and the gut¹. That’s why managing stress is key to looking after your Gut Health. So, whether it’s doing yoga, meditating, or jamming, find what helps you unwind.

2. Get enough sleep

Quality sleep not only boosts mood and cognition but also supports your Gut Health. Irregular sleep might mess with your gut flora, upping the risk of inflammation.² Aim for around 7 hours of consistent sleep each night.³ Your gut will love you for it!

3. Stay hydrated

Hydration is key for your gut! Keep things flowing smoothly by staying hydrated throughout the day. Research suggests that drinking plenty of water may increase gut bacteria diversity and reduce harmful bacteria linked to gastrointestinal issues. Plus, staying hydrated benefits your health overall, preventing constipation and promoting a healthy gut effortlessly.³

4. Exercise

Get moving to boost your gut bugs! Exercise ramps up healthy gut bacteria diversity, independent of diet. Longer workouts and intense cardio can help support your gut health, improving overall wellness. So, sweat it out for a happier gut. Remember, even small steps count.⁴

5. Diet

Ah, the pièce de résistance. Load up on fibre-rich food, which helps in building good gut bacteria. And don’t forget about probiotics! They bring in more good bacteria to keep your gut in good shape! ⁴
