GARDEN YOUR GUT FLORA
Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration helps with digestion, nutrient absorption, and the overall function of the gut-brain axis. Make sure you're drinking enough water AND getting your minerals in - especially during these warmer summer months.
Take a Daily Probiotic Supplement: Choose a high-quality probiotic supplement that contains a variety of strains to help balance your gut microbiome and improve gut-brain communication. (or consume foods like yogurt, kimchi)
Incorporate Fiber-Rich Foods: Fiber-rich foods promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Add foods like chia seeds, flaxseeds, beans, lentils, and whole grains into your meals.
Engage in Regular Physical Activities: Find your way to get daily movement in - dancing, walking, and yoga are our favorites.
Practice Mindfulness Techniques: Set aside 10-15 minutes each day to practice mindfulness or meditation. You can use apps like Headspace or Calm to guide you through stress-reducing exercises.
