THE BIOTIFUL GUT HEALTH RESET

Resetting your gut doesn't need to be overwhelming and doesn't require drastic changes, as there 10 simple steps you can take to reset your Gut Health: 

• Eat more food that contains beneficial bacteria like Kefir, which benefits human health and could potentially reduce obesity. 
• Get more sleep, as sleep is crucial for wellness, and research shows a strong connection between sleep and the gut microbiome. Getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night is important.
• Stay hydrated, as water restriction disrupts your Gut Health. Drinking enough water is key for maintaining homeostasis (balance) in the gut.
• Stress can affect health through its impact on gut bacteria, with heightened inflammation resulting in issues with the gut. Reducing stress wherever possible is important. 
• Dietary fibre intake positively influences Gut Health and is related to better health. Eating more fruits, vegetables and a diverse range of plants will support your gut. 
• Reduce intake of ultra-processed foods, which can reduce inflammation and increase the diversity of the gut microbiome. 
• Eat fewer sugary foods, as a high intake of sugar is believed to have lasting and detrimental effects on our microbiome. 
• Aim to exercise regularly, as it can increase the diversity of the gut microbiome, resulting in a range of health benefits.
• Eat a diverse range of plant-based foods in your diet, as the dietary fiber found in these foods is the key nutrient for your Gut Health.
• Eat less saturated fats in your diet, as they can reduce the diversity of bacteria in the gut, and contribute to inflammation.

Research shows that the gut can rapidly respond to an altered diet, with short-term changes being achievable which a Gut Health Reset can help to kickstart.

Achieving significant and lasting results requires consistent support through diet, lifestyle, and stress management over several months, however the exact timeframe depends on each individual, as every gut microbiome is different.

A Gut Health Reset is all about creating a foundation in terms of lifestyle changes that will increase the diversity of your gut microbiome and improve your overall health. Maintaining a stable and diverse gut microbiome is very important to your health, which can be done with consistent and nourishing choices for the body, along with reducing stress. 

However, this can be started with a Gut Health Reset, to introduce new diet and lifestyle choices that fuels your gut microbiome with the probiotics and dietary fibre it needs to thrive and support your overall health.

It couldn’t be easier to incorporate Biotiful Kefir into your diet, as you can simply swap out your usual yogurt for this gut-friendly alternative. We have a range of Kefir yogurts and drinks, including our original and a range of flavours, so you can easily use it in sweet and savoury meals, as a snack or in so many different Kefir recipes.

Add to your morning yogurt granola bowl, make your favourite tzatziki, salad dressings or overnight oats, for the easiest transition to eating more Kefir and supporting your gut health.

Remember, Kefir should never be cooked or heated, as that would kill the live bacteria.
