Intestinal health – This is what your gut would like from you

Your gut wants you to...

Eat natural, real foods. If possible, cook yourself, avoid industrially produced foods, additives and preservatives.

• Half of your plate should consist of vegetables, cooked vegetables for the sake of your intestines. Raw food is difficult for most people to digest.
• Take a break between meals for at least 4-5 hours. The intestines and also the other digestive organs need time to process the food.
• Drink plenty of water. Water is a means of transportation and a cleaning agent. Tea, for example, is already a saturated liquid and can absorb fewer substances.
• Reduce the amount of sugar, alcohol and fast carbohydrates such as white bread, rice and potatoes... because too much of them has a negative effect on metabolism, increases sugar levels, promotes insulin spikes and produces stress hormones in the body.
• Take probiotics and prebiotics to support your gut flora. The easiest way to do this is to consume fiber and also suitable dietary supplements. You can also incorporate fermented foods such as unpasteurized sauerkraut or kombucha into your diet.

Additional tips:

• Also shed light on your lifestyle and find ways to optimize it. Regardless of whether it's about your family and your relationship, daily exercise or time for yourself.
• Intestinal health is a holistic issue. Worry, anger, perfectionism and lack of self-esteem mean stress, which has a negative effect on the intestines.
• Experience the benefits of a visceral (abdominal) massage and feel how tensions in the abdomen are released and everything is back in its place.
