Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor, a nutritionist, nor an expert on the topic. I'm just passionate about wellness and want to share with you guys my best tips on gut-healing and how I reached intestinal health.
- Healing your gut isn't a quick and easy process. It takes time and dedication. But it's not impossible.
- Stop eating out so often and cook at home. Homemade meals are softer on the stomach and easier to digest.
- Alternative medicine and conventional medicine go hand in hand. One provides a holistic explanation and the other gives you the proper tools to heal yourself.
- Avoid foods that your stomach can't handle. In my case the following list of foods would cause bloating and heartburn:
- Dairy products.
- Deep fried meals.
- Sauces.
- Alcohol (a glass of wine never killed nobody but excessive amounts can be harmful)
- Eat on a schedule to allow proper digestion. When you don't eat at consistent times each day, it can cause bloating and have negative reprecussions on your metabolism.
- Your digestive system is influenced and affected by your emotions. Do exercises such as meditation, yoga, or Pilates to keep your emotional health in good condition.
- Water and fiber are your best allies.
- Your diet should aim at improving your health, not at losing or maintaining weight.
- Avoid artificial sweeteners. Switch to liquid stevia (not powdered) which is 100% natural.
- Don't eat large amounts of red meat.
- Plant-based is the best way.
- Eat mindfully but never restrict yourself from eating what you enjoy or you'll end up consuming twice as much of it.
- Each organism works in different ways so get to know your body and know that there isn't a universal diet that works perfectly for everyone.
- Enzyme and probiotic intake is highly beneficial.
