Whether youโre wanting better digestion, clearer skin, more energy, or a more balanced mood, none of this will happen without a happy gut. So remember these simple everyday micro-habits to support your gut:
- Stay hydrated (your digestive juices depend on it!)
- Eat the rainbow (for antioxidants & fiber)
- Try ground flax, chia, or hemp seeds (healthy fats to reduce inflammation)
- Boost magnesium (particularly if you tend toward constipation)
- Keep moving (exercise enhances the diversity of the gut microbiome)
