By putting our gut detoxification on the program, our body wakes up, our skin glows, and our energy soars!
The gut is said to be the second brain, therefore its function determines a multitude of organic and psychological factors. This complex role leads to the accumulation of many toxins in it. Therefore, by achieving intestinal detoxification, we have a positive impact on the rest of the body.
How will we achieve this?
First through nutrition. A careful and conscious choice of the foods we consume is a very important beginning. We always pay attention to the intake of all the necessary nutrients to meet the needs of our body and ensure its proper functioning and then the quality of the food. We take care of a variety of fruits and vegetables, while choosing whole grains, enriching our diet with seeds, nuts and legumes while not omitting seafood and low-fat animal protein. It is very important to achieve our goal to limit sugar, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, red meat and fried foods to a minimum.
Then we must take care of proper hydration of the body, physical activity and taking probiotics. What are probiotics? They are microorganisms that are naturally present in the flora of our intestines and maintain its balance and proper functioning. They contribute to the proper functioning of the digestive system, strengthening the body during the process of intestinal detoxification. They are beneficial because they restore the intestinal microflora, relieve common digestive disorders of the intestine (constipation, indigestion, bloating, etc.), while facilitating the absorption of vitamins and nutrients that we obtain from food.
Many times, however, prevention and care of the intestine is not enough. Stress and environmental pollution are so intense in our daily lives that they disrupt the health of the intestine and the entire digestive system. Thus, the intestine can sound the alarm sometimes silently, sometimes loudly, but certainly when there is a problem in the body, the answer lies in it. And we will check this through the intestinal microbiome. An examination that can be done very easily, with a sample that you can take at your place and have a mapped image of the intestinal condition of our body and targeted, personalized ways to manage it and improve it!
Let's not forget that almost 90% of serotonin – the happiness hormone – is produced in the gut. Therefore, a healthy gut means joy, happiness and well-being.
So let's not neglect it!
