Whew!
Ever had one of those weeks you just felt like your digestive system needed some help?
Well, I have just had one of those few days. Not sure if stress, or the abundance of junk food I had one day really messed me up. Probably both those things!
Let’s just say things weren’t… regular…
Why I am talking about this? You need to support and love your gut to support your outer glow.
Here’s what helped me this time and really got things moving better after a couple days:
- Stayed hydrated.
- Ate whole, fiber-rich foods. No animal products, since for me, things already weren’t digesting well. that is rough on my digestive system since I have been experimenting with plant-based diet for about a year.
- Lots of peppermint tea to get things moving (made with my digestive oil).
- black or green tea in the morning. (only try this if you are already hydrated… if you are dehydrated, this could make you feel worse as far as the constipated feeling.)
- De-stressing. This has had a major affect on my overall well-being. That is for another video.
What I intend to do to continue healing my gut and rev-ing up digestion:
- Continue to stay hydrated. Get an app to help you stay on track.
- Add digestive enzyme supplement I trust. break down food. Past 25, most adults stop making the enzymes needed to break down food optimally and absorb those nutrients optimally. I have my favorite that works for when you are eating both plants and meat. And there is also one that you can take when you are vegetarian.
- Return to my probiotic I’ve been off of lately. I use it in the evening when little is in my stomach
- Support with lemon water to rev up my digestion in the beginning of the day, enjoy organic green and black tea during the earlier part of the day, peppermint tea during the day if needed and especially in the evening, and continue enjoying fiber-rich foods.
Thank you so much for watching!
