Hello my beauties,
Gut Health has been so important to me lately. As many of you know, I have so many gut issues and have been very conscious of researching ways I can take care of my gut. Gut health is so essential in our everyday life; it affects mental health, digestion, mood, skin, weight, hormones, even hair. The primary function of your gut is digesting your food and delivering nutrients and energy to your body. When your gut isn’t working, you (like me ) probably experience bloating, weight gain, cystic acne, abdominal pain, headaches, and brain fogginess. Things like stress, cortisol levels, your environment, diet, chemicals, additives from food, and medication effect and can disturb our gut. Obvi TMI, but the best way to tell your gut health is to monitor your bowel movements.
I’ve been listening to a lot of Indrid De La Mare Kenny and Dr. Michelle from The Food Effect Diet, and they both say that gut health is primarily affected by diet.
