You are not what you eat, you are what you digest These days many people have problems with digestion and this is for good reasons. In general, we eat too many processed foods, don’t move enough (or at all) and are stressed for a good portion of our day. All of this can lead to digestive problems which are a root cause of many diseases and food intolerances.

Having problems with digestion is not something you should be ashamed of but something you should take seriously. A change of lifestyle is the most efficient way to get your digestion back on track so you can absorb all the good nutrients of your food to get you feeling your best! Eat real food The first tip to loving your gut is to Eat Real Food! Try to eliminate processed foods from your diet as much as possible. The easiest way to support your digestion is to eat real, fresh, whole foods (preferably organic) that are packed full of vitamins, fibre, antioxidants, enzymes without artificial colours, preservatives and unnatural chemicals.

Our bodies are not meant to process artificial foods made in a lab that are difficult to digest and without good nutritional qualities. Chew your food Did you know that digestion begins in your mouth with chewing your food properly? Most people chew each mouthful between 5-10 times resulting in food that isn’t broken down enough for your body to absorb nutrients and break down enzymes. It is recommended that you chew every mouthful of food a minimum of 20-30 times before swallowing, so it becomes liquid and therefore easier to digest. When eating, try to avoid distractions such as watching TV, playing a game, answering emails or scrolling on social media so that you can sit and really focus on chewing your food. Your gut will love you for it! Eat fermented foods Fermented foods are a real superfood for your gut and digestion because they are full of beneficial enzymes, B-vitamins and various strains of probiotics. These are the good bacteria that keep your gut healthy.

Natural fermentation breaks the food down to a more digestible form that also supports the good bacteria population. Try to experiment with different fermented foods and include them into your daily diet such as Kimchi, Kefir and Miso!
