Save this post for the next time you’re bloated. 💪1. Physical movement ( Pilates , yoga, HIIT ) increases blood flow to the the digestive system, which in return allows better peristalsis which is what moves our food along the digestive tract efficiently preventing fermentation and bacterial accumulation . Exercise in general ( walking ) also helps keep our good bacteria balance in check so if you can’t make it to the gym.. go for nice walks. Find a walking partner, I find this helps keep both of you on track. 💊2. Probiotics: by taking in the good bacteria we are helping keep the bad bacteria and yeast in check and that keeps our immune system health and our poops optimal 💩 ( I couldn’t resist speaking about poop as always) 😀3. Chew slowly: we have an enzyme in our mouth called amylase which helps us break down our carbohydrates into simple sugars and also it the chewing action helps us break down food into little bits which helps digestion as it take a toll off our stomach, pancreas and small intestine .. not chewing your food well can lead to SIBO and other gut issues. 😴 4. Sleep: when we sleep so does our gut. Our gut needs a rest as it’s constantly digesting throughout our waking ours and just like we get sluggish and tired so does our gut . When we sleep our body produces certain hormones including melatonin and prolactin; these hormones help improve the good bacteria in the intestines and help digestion further. Looking to dive deeper?
