8 Simple Ways To Improve Gut Health

If we asked you what the most important system in the body is, what would you say? The nervous system? The cardiovascular system? Those are definitely up there, but there is one more system that is arguably the most important, the digestive system. 

After all, the digestive system is connected to many other parts of the body including the brain and the skin. Because of these connections, the gut can impact pretty much every other system in the body. Furthermore, the gut’s primary function of digestion and nutrient absorption ensures that every system is well nourished and fueled to work optimally, that is when provided the right nourishment. 

With so many important functions, it goes without saying that taking good care of your gut is one of the best ways to take care of yourself. Luckily, taking care of your gut is easier than it sounds. In fact, you can start today with these 8 simple ways to improve your gut health. 

1. Stay Hydrated

Your gut needs water just as much as any other part of your body. In addition to softening the food you eat in preparation for digestion, water also hydrates the cells in the digestive tract both directly and indirectly. This ensures optimal function whether the cells are secretory cells, lining cells, or the muscles that move things along the digestive tract. 

2. Practice a Whole Foods Diet 

Cutting back on processed foods and including more whole foods in your diet can do wonders for your gut. Make sure you are eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. In addition, fermented foods and even some spices are wonderful for supporting the good bacteria in your gut. 

3. Get Plenty of Sleep 

You need plenty of rest for all of your systems to function optimally. Your digestive system is no exception. In fact, one theory proposes that sleep, or even just taking things slow, creates conditions in the body that allow the gut microbiome to thrive. In turn, this will promote gut health as the good bacteria in the microbiome will help facilitate food absorption and excretion. 

4. Try Enzyme Supplements

Digestive enzymes help your body prepare to absorb nutrients by breaking down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. There are many foods that contain digestive enzymes, such as pineapple, ginger, and kefir. However, taking an enzyme supplement will also help, especially after a heavy meal, as it will help speed up the digestion process and minimize discomfort.  

5. Exercise Regularly 

We all know that exercising regularly is good for our cardiovascular system, but it is less known that regular exercise is also good for your gut. In fact, sticking to a consistent exercise routine can change the composition of your gut microbiome resulting in an overall healthier gut.

6. Pay Attention to Dental Hygiene 

When you think of gut health, you probably don’t think about dental hygiene. However, it makes sense that the two are connected. After all, everything we put in our mouth ends up in our gut, including bacteria that can cause dysbiosis. Therefore, maintaining good dental hygiene practices can help keep harmful bacteria out of your gut so the good bacteria can continue to thrive. 

7. Get Your Probiotics

A daily probiotic seeds the gut with beneficial bacteria that supports a strong gut microbiome and therefore a healthy gut. Many fermented foods, including kimchi, kombucha, and yogurt, contain probiotics and are great additions to your diet. However, to ensure your gut is getting the beneficial bacteria it requires it’s best to turn to a daily probiotic supplement.

8. Boost Nutrient Intake

Have you ever heard of organic Wild Microalgae? It’s a rare type of blue-green algae. In fact, its the only edible freshwater microalgae that grows abundantly in the wild, and it is a near-perfect superfood. After all, it contains all 20 standard amino acids, 13 different vitamins, over 63 trace minerals, essential fatty acids, phenylethylamine (PEA), phycocyanin, and chlorophyll. With a nutrient profile that rich, your gut and body will thank you when you add it to your daily routine.
