2. Keep your gut healthy. Not only is it important to keep our intestinal tracts healthy to encourage proper digestion, a healthy immune system, and strong metabolism, but the bidirectional communication between our guts and our brains influences our moods and ensures a healthy stress response. People with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS), for example, often suffer from anxiety and poor mood swings. Healing their guts helps to alleviate these conditions.
To keep your gut healthy and running smoothly, eat a balanced, whole foods diet with plenty of fiber and water. Replenish your bacterial flora regularly by eating cultured foods like yogurt, kefir, cultured vegetables, raw sauerkraut or kimchi. A probiotic supplement containing bifidobacterium and acidophilus will help to maintain or repopulate bacteria that may be lost due to a poor diet, stress, toxins or antibiotic use.
