6 Tips for a Healthier Gut

Did you know that a healthy gut can amp up your energy, improve digestion, decrease inflammation, and even lift your mood? Explore these six tips to get your gut working its best.

Feed your gut the good stuff.

Fiber is your gut’s favorite snack—it keeps things balanced and moving. Munch on fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Get a fiber boost from crunchy apples, hearty oats, and chia seed pudding.

Add “good guy” probiotics.

Probiotics are good-for-you bacteria. You’ll find them in yogurt, non-dairy yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, or miso soup. This Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie Bowl is a delicious option.

Fuel your prebiotics.

Prebiotics are the sidekick your probiotics need to thrive. Garlic, bananas, and onions are packed with these nutrients. Explore more easy ways to boost your good bacteria.

Stay hydrated.

Water helps your gut break down food and remove waste. Make sipping all day simple with these seven tips.

Stress less.

Did you know stress can upset your stomach? Recharge your gut with relaxing activities like yoga, meditation, deep breathing, or a walk outside.

Catch more ZZZs.

Good sleep helps your gut stay strong, so skip screen time before bedtime. Wind down with a soothing routine. Create a sleep sanctuary with calming music or a cozy book instead.

Take a bite out of bloat.

Small tweaks through your day can ease inflammation, digestion issues, and more. But you don’t have to try every change at once. Start small and get closer to a happier gut.

Turn food into fuel.
