Your gut is at the heart of your health, influencing everything from digestion and immune function to mood and energy levels. It’s often called your “second brain” — and when you prioritise it, you’re nurturing not just your digestion, but your overall well-being.

Try these five science-backed habits for a balanced gut and better health:

1. Mindful Eating: Slow Down and Savour Your Food

In our busy lives, we often rush meals, but slowing down and focusing on your food has a huge impact on gut health. When you eat mindfully, you're more likely to chew your food properly, which supports better digestion. It also helps your body produce the right digestive enzymes and signals your gut to prepare for food, leading to better nutrient absorption and less bloating.

Tip: Take 10 deep breaths before meals to activate your “rest and digest” response for improved nutrient absorption.

2. Increase Fibre Intake for Better Digestion

Fibre is a crucial component of a healthy diet, and it's particularly important for your gut. Fibre helps to bulk up stool and keep things moving through your digestive system. It also acts as food for the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helping to maintain a balanced microbiome. A healthy microbiome plays a key role in reducing inflammation, supporting immune function, and even impacting your mood.

Tip: Aim for at least 25-30 grams of fibre per day from whole foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. Check out our blog on How to Get More Greens Into Your Daily Life for extra tips!

3. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Water is essential for your body’s overall function, but it’s especially important for your gut. Staying well-hydrated helps your digestive system process food efficiently and reduces symptoms like constipation. Additionally, water helps to flush out toxins and keep your gut lining healthy, allowing for better nutrient absorption.

Tip: Start your day with a glass of water and sip throughout the day. Aim for at least 8 cups of water daily, more if you're physically active.

4. Support Your Gut with Supplements

Supplements can be a powerful tool in supporting gut health by filling in nutritional gaps and enhancing your body's natural processes. Prebiotics, probiotics, and detoxifying herbs can work together to balance your microbiome, promote healthy digestion, and strengthen your immune system.

5. Manage Stress for a Calm Gut

Chronic stress affects gut health, causing bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort. Managing stress through deep breathing, yoga, or a walk helps keep your gut calm.

Tip: Find a daily relaxation practice that works for you, whether it’s meditation, deep breathing, or a nature walk. These small moments of calm can have a big impact on your gut health.
