Maintain Gut & Weight

Recent research has revealed that bacteria living in your digestive tract, known as the gut microbiome, could play an important role in maintaining a healthy weight. The good news is that you can promote a happy, healthy gut through simple diet and lifestyle choices. Here are three tips.

1. FILL UP ON FIBER

Fiber is the superhero of gut health. It acts like a broom, sweeping away waste and toxins, while also providing nourishment for the beneficial gut bacteria. Try to include a variety of foods rich in fiber daily, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. For example, swap white bread for whole-grain bread, and enjoy a colorful salad loaded with veggies for lunch.

2. EMBRACE PROBIOTIC FOODS

Probiotics are the friendly bacteria that can help balance your gut microbiome. These can be found in fermented foods like yogurt, sauerkraut and kimchi. Try adding a serving of yogurt topped with berries as a tasty, gut-friendly snack option.

3. REDUCE STRESS

High stress levels can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, leading to digestive issues and weight gain. Taking time for self-care activities like deep breathing, meditation or an enjoyable hobby can help. Additionally, regular exercise can have a positive impact on both your mood and your gut.
