Gut Health And The Immune System

Gut Health And The Immune System

Did you know that the gut is also known as our second brain?

Sounds strange, but when we think about it, it does make sense. When our stomach isn’t happy, we aren’t happy, and when we have an upset gut, it can lead to a range of issues such as low moods, bad sleep, hormone fluctuations and lots more.

In fact, quite often our gut is trying to tell us that something isn’t right, but often we choose to ignore it. In doing so, we’re neglecting our body, our mind and our wellbeing, but there are some ways you can help.

Some classic signs your gut may be telling you it’s not happy can be:

A bloated stomach

It’s perfectly natural to experience bloating, but the key is to listen to it and try to understand why. Quite often a bloated stomach means that it’s full of gas, but there are a few things that can help. Firstly, chewing slower and taking your time with meals can make the world of difference. Another great change to make is to ensure you are getting a good dose of fibre each day (30g).

You could also consider Ausha Organic Papaya Fruit Powder, which is made from powdering sun-dried Organic Papaya fruit and can help with acid reflux and various digestion related problems.

Low immune system

An unhappy gut also leads to a low immune system, meaning you are more susceptible to catching colds, viruses and other illnesses. If you want to stay happy and healthy this winter, you could benefit from making some small changes to your diet so your gut and immune system work in harmony. Make sure you’re sticking to the rainbow diet, drink lots of water and consider adding supplements to your daily routine.

The City Survivor Immune Support is a must-have for those that want to keep themselves safe from colds and germs in the workplace and on the go.

Stress levels

We all know that feeling of being stressed, only to then feel a knot in our stomach. This is our guts way of telling us to slow down, relax and take it easy, but we’re often guilty of ignoring the signs.

When we choose to listen to it, we can ease the tension felt in the gut and help to improve our overall wellbeing.
