Spring Clean Your Gut Health: 8 Tips for a Happier, Healthier Gut
Hey Sanrae!
Today we’re shining a light on one of our favourite topics: gut health. Taking care of your gut is essential for overall well-being—from digestion and mood to glowing skin and a strong immune system. If you’ve been feeling a bit off or want to optimise your gut health, these simple tips will get you started on the path to a happier, healthier gut.
1. Prioritise Fibre
Fibre is your gut’s best friend. It supports digestion, feeds healthy gut bacteria, and keeps everything moving smoothly. Load up on fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Psyllium husk is another fantastic source of soluble fibre that can give your digestion a boost.
2. Include Fermented Foods
Fermented foods are like magic for your microbiome. Packed with probiotics—the friendly bacteria that nurture gut health—they include yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha. Adding these regularly helps maintain a balanced gut flora.
3. Stay Hydrated
Water is key for smooth digestion and a healthy gut lining. Sip water throughout the day, and enjoy herbal teas like peppermint, ginger, or even a calming cup of matcha to soothe your digestive system.
4. Manage Stress
Stress can upset your gut more than you think. Try yoga, meditation, deep belly breathing, or simply set aside time to unwind with a good book. A calm mind is the foundation of a happy gut.
5. Get Quality Sleep
Your body, including your gut, does a lot of repair during sleep. Aim for 7–8 hours of restful sleep each night to keep your digestive system—and entire body—healthy and vibrant.
6. Consider a High-Quality Probiotic Supplement
Our SANA Marine Collagen+ is enhanced with a blend of probiotics and the digestive enzyme bromelain to support digestion and gut integrity. Sourced from sustainably harvested fish, collagen nourishes your gut lining and may help with leaky gut. Easy to add to smoothies or your morning coffee, it’s a powerful daily ally.
7. Limit Processed Foods
Processed foods high in sugar and unhealthy fats can throw your gut microbiome off balance. Choose whole, unprocessed foods as much as possible to nurture a healthy gut environment.
8. Listen to Your Body
Tune in to how different foods make you feel. Notice what leaves you feeling energised versus bloated or tired. Your gut is unique, so experiment with foods and habits to discover what works best for your wellbeing.
Remember, gut health is a journey, not a quick fix. With consistent care and these simple tips, you’ll enjoy better digestion, improved mood, and radiant vitality. Here’s to a happier gut and a healthier you!
