🦠Microbiome Health🦠
🦠A few years ago, not many of us even knew we had a gut microbiome. Today, most of us know that gut health is so important to overall health.
🦠Many seemingly unrelated conditions - allergies, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, IBS, depression, - all start with the gut.
🦠Your gut microbiome, also known as gut flora, is an invisible organ inside your large intestine, that is host to thousands of microscopic species. Your microbiome determines your emotional and mental well-being more than you ever imagined!
🦠Nothing affects your gut health more quickly and more powerfully than the food that you eat. Unfortunately, modern-day diets of prepackaged and processed foods, environmental toxins, preservatives and overuse of antibiotics, have all taken their toll on microbiome health, resulting in a rise in chronic illnesses.
🦠Taking care of your gut health is not another fad, it is a priority!
🦠Eat a diverse range of foods
🦠Eat lots of fruit, veggies, legumes and beans
🦠Increase your foods that are rich in polyphenols and prebiotics.
🦠Limit ultra-processed foods
🦠Reduce stress
