Have you ever heard or felt you or someone else has had “a gut feeling”? That is because our gut can tell us whether something feels right or not, and when that gut feeling kicks in we have to take a moment and try to listen. It has been proven that most of our overall health relies on the state of our gut, and our gut does not only depend on what we eat or stop eating, but also on every activity we do, how well we are sleeping, how stressed we are feeling and even if our mood has been changing negatively.

You’ve probably heard the term “gut health” and know that “good” gut health is desirable. But what does it really mean to have a healthy gut? It means having the right balance of tiny bacteria and other microbes in your digestive tract. Researchers are increasingly discovering ways these microorganisms contribute to overall health. Experts are now realizing that digestive, or gut, health is linked to many diseases, so keeping your digestive system on track is one way to prevent serious illness down the road.

On this occasion, we have prepared a list of 5 activities you can start doing, doing more or doing better in order to help your gut heal and stay healthy. Take a look!
