Gut Health

The gut microbiome consists of trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes. We relay on our microbiome to thrive. Incorporating less processed foods can help improve your gut microbiome . Although it seems small, it can have a big impact on your health. the bacteria in your gut helps break down various fibers to support your digestive track and immune system.  it can also affects your mood and brain health. Certain bacteria can stimulate or produce neurotransmitters that send signals to your brain,  which can be linked to addiction. Generally, signs of poor gut health are bloating, food intolerance or sensitivities, or low energy. On the other hand, stable mood, healthy appetite, and strong immune systems are a sign of a healthy gut.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
