Your gut is your friend, so be sure to look after it well in 2019…

1. Keep gut healthy snacks handy   

A probiotic or snack bar is small enough to store in your bag and will keep you from impulsively buying an unhealthy snack at the shops.

2. Keep the fibre high to help your digestive system

Eat plenty of fibre-rich foods like bananas, apples, dark green vegetables, nuts and seeds to promote movement through the digestive system.

3. Exercise!

Healthy gut, healthy mind. A blast in the morning with either a walk or a run starts your day in a great way, both mentally and physically.

4. Plenty of water and less alcohol

Think of drinking water as an aid to flushing out everything and pushing through your digestive system.

5. Add healthy fats to your diet

Fats aren’t always a bad thing! Some go-to healthy fats are nuts (especially walnuts), chai seeds, flaxseeds, omega-rich fish mackerel, and salmon.

6. Rebalance your stomach acid

Add some Apple Cider Vinegar to hot water and drink this instead of coffee to help with the balance. This is a great morning pick-me-up for your gut.
