I have already said it, and I will say it over and over again: Health (and disease) starts in your gut.
If your intestinal health is not good, you will experience any problems such as skin wrinkles, weight gain, depression, and immune health.
We can thank (or blame) the Standard American Diet (SAD) for solving most of our bowel problems. For a long time, we have been told that foods such as whole grains and soybeans are good for us-they are the two major culprits that cause slow intestinal response!
Naturally, it is never too late to heal or reset your intestines. Starting today, you can support intestinal healing foods by changing your lifestyle and diet. Not surprisingly, the substances we ingest in our bodies play an important role in our intestinal health.
How to remove harmful bacteria in the intestines?
1. Get rid of toxins in your diet.
These foods can cause inflammation in your body and make your intestines unresponsive:
- Alcohol
- caffeine
- Traditionally raised non-organic raised meat. These are rich in omega-6 oils, which can cause chronic inflammation. (On the contrary, eat grazing or grass-fed meat)
- Yes, even whole grains.
- manufactured food
- Refined sugar (get a complete list of sugars to avoid here)
- Rapeseed oil, such as rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, grape seed oil, and even vegetable oil. These are also rich in omega-6 oils that your intestines don’t want!
If you keep eating these Pro-inflammatory food, To be frank, you are poisoning your body and setting your intestines on fire.
2. Fill your diet with fermented foods
Popular fermented foods include kefir, sauerkraut and kimchi. These are rich in probiotics-your gut needs beneficial bacteria for optimal digestion and health. Your intestines like this food! Most importantly, you can find them in your local health food store. They are full of flavor and can be added to any meal.
3. Take strong bacteria
Taking probiotics every day will fill your body with good bacteria such as Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacterium. You may not be able to eat kimchi or sauerkraut every day, so if you want to recover your intestines quickly, this is your best choice. Because probiotics are full of beneficial bacteria, it can put your intestines on the fast track of strengthening. Just don’t forget to take it every day.
4. Avoid using antibiotics like the plague
5. Take multi-enzyme supplements (preferably after each meal)
Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat so that we can absorb the nutrients in it. But certain things will reduce our digestive enzymes, such as aging and chronic stress. Therefore, even if you eat healthy food, you may not get all the nutrients you need. This is why I recommend that you take enzyme supplements, such as carbohydrate enzymes (break down carbohydrates), lipase (break down fats) and proteases (break down protein).
6. Consumption of natural intestinal healing agents
In addition to probiotics and fermented foods, these also help to improve the intestinal wall:
- Aloe
- Vitamin A, C and E
- L-glutamine
- Omega-3 fatty acids
7. Relax to support intestinal health
Easier said than done, right? Look, I know that stress will happen. Your life has become hectic, maybe you forgot to do relaxation exercises every day. But this is bad news for your intestines, because stress can cause intestinal leakage. Think about it… When emotionally difficult, aren’t your stomach and digestion the first two things that are affected?
In fact, your gut is where most of the serotonin in your body is located, which is why it is called the “second brain”. So, try yoga or meditation. Enjoy a spa day, enjoy a massage, and relax. Your intestines and whole body will thank you!
8. Drink at least a cup of bone broth every day
I save the best for the end, guys! Bone broth Thanks to the beneficial amino acids glycine and glutamine, as well as glucosamine and chondroitin, it keeps your digestion in a normal state and helps strengthen the lining of the intestines.
Glutamine is an amino acid that supports a healthy intestine by protecting the lining of the intestinal tract and providing fuel for small intestinal cells. Glycine is an amino acid that stimulates gastric acid secretion, thereby supporting healthy digestion. Glycine is also an important part of bile acids, which play a huge role in fat digestion and supporting healthy cholesterol levels.
Glucosamine and chondroitin produce healing mucus, soothing intestinal discomfort. It also helps the passage of food and strengthens beneficial bacteria while weakening harmful bacteria in the intestines.
Did I mention that it is also delicious? It keeps me satisfied all day long and suppresses cravings for sugar (accept that, sugar demon!).
Regardless of your current health, remember that healing (and weight loss!) starts in your gut. When you reset, magical things will happen!
Keep thinking about a big and bold life!
