Most of us don’t think much about our digestion until something feels “off.” But your gut plays a huge role in how energetic, clear-headed, and comfortable you feel.
One of the best things you can do is bring more natural foods into your routine. Fermented foods like yogurt or kefir can support a healthy gut, and adding more plants, whether that’s beans, lentils, or vegetables gives your body the fibre it needs to work smoothly.
How you eat matters just as much as what you eat. Slowing down, chewing well, and noticing how food makes you feel can reduce bloating and discomfort. It’s a small change, but it makes a big difference.
And don’t forget the basics: staying hydrated, getting enough rest, and moving your body regularly. Stress, lack of sleep, and inactivity can all upset digestion, so caring for your whole self is just as important as what’s on your plate.
Your digestive system is unique. Start with small, steady changes, listen to your body, and you’ll find what helps you feel your best.
