Care for your gut and your gut will care for you!
It’s been well documented that our gut thrives when we follow an anti-inflammatory diet.
This includes:
- Eating a diet rich in whole foods, with a focus on fiber, antioxidants, and omega-3 fats. The best source of omega-3 fats are nuts, fatty fish, like salmon, and pastured animal products. If you don’t eat fish or grass-fed animal products, it’s important to take a good quality omega-3 supplement.
- Regularly eating fermented foods, like raw sauerkraut and kombucha, can help boost the number of good bacteria in your gut. Probiotic supplements can also help support the number and balance of bacteria in your gut.
- Bone broth or hydrolyzed collagen supplements may help promote an intact and healthy gut lining.
