Keeping the gut healthy can help to lessen many potential health risks and discomfort. From bulgy fat to digestive problems, maintaining a good gut microbe is important. The battle of the bulge has been the biggest struggle, whether it is visceral fat, acidity, digestion, elimination of toxins, or absorption of food, guts have always played a main role. The gut becomes the collection and distribution center of nutrients.
Do you have the guts is a common question we ask individuals in terms of courage, in terms of boldness towards life, independence and liberty towards life, and living in uninhibited life. The guts, if sound from the inside, if in the state of homeostasis, definitely give you the permission and make you uninhibited and courageous. All the insecurities, phobias, fears, limitations of life and apprehensions of life, come out because of disturbed guts. Just in your solar plexus cavity, fears, phobias, insecurities, despair, resentments, hatred, and all such negative emotions are stored for lives together,” says Dr. Mickey Mehta, holistic health and wellness guru in a conversation with IANS.
Maintaining a diversified and well-balanced microbiome is typically a condition to improve gut health. You can potentially improve your gut health by making the right changes over time.
Probiotic and Prebiotic Rich Diet
Consuming foods which are rich in probiotics, such as yoghurt, vegetable pickle, green olives fermented in salt and water (brine), kombucha and other fermented foods can help replenish and maintain a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Consuming foods high in prebiotics, which feed the good bacteria in your gut is equally important for a healthy gut. Prebiotics selectively stimulate the growth and activity of good bacteria present in the human gut. Some known prebiotics are soaked cooked rice, soaked poha, garlic, onions, bananas, asparagus, and whole grains.
Diverse Diet
Aim for a variety and colourful diet. Varying your diet daily helps the gut as different foods support different types of bacteria. A varied range of foods helps to maintain a diverse microbiome.
Hydration
Throughout the day drinking plenty of water helps for proper hydration, which in turn supports overall health.
Limit Processed Food
Lessen the intake of processed and packaged foods, which may contain additives, colour and preservatives, that negatively impact gut health. Try to consume more whole, natural, regional and seasonal locally available foods.
Fiber Rich Food
Fiber supports the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Consume a diet which is relatively high in fiber-rich foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.
Mindful Eating
Practice mindful eating by paying attention to hunger and fullness cues. Eat slowly, chewing well and enjoying your food can improve digestion.
Stay Active
Occupy in regular optimum movement therapy like doing physical activity out in the open air, with good sunlight. Exercise has been connected to a healthier gut microbiome. Meditation, certain yoga asanas along with the right breath work and deep breathing help to remain calm and composed. Stay away from stress as chronic stress can effect gut health. Long-term behaviors are important for sustained improvements in gut health, as major changes may take time.
Good Sleep Cycle
Make sure you sleep early at night and getting good quality sleep. Poor sleep can negatively affect gut health.
Dr. Mickey Mehta says, A healthy gut which is healed and well overalled by food, and breath and which is stretched and strengthened by productive physical activity and optimal movement therapy constantly is empty of all negative emotions, and negative sentiments and full of positivity. This good flowing flora and faunas will give you empathy, sympathy, compassion, care and creativity.
