Here's how to strengthen your gut
In our blog articles about your gut, you can learn a lot about this important organ. Since the gut influences numerous vital processes, it makes sense to strengthen it specifically. You'll find out how in the following article .
A calm mind is also beneficial for the gut:
Stress can negatively affect your gut microbiome.1 So reduce stress through regular exercise, meditation or breathing exercises and work on your stress management.
Bring variety to your diet:
Following the motto "the more colorful, the better," a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is all the rage. And rightly so, because a varied diet promotes the diversity of your microbiome and thus strengthens your immune system.² Next time you're shopping, consciously choose new types of fruits and vegetables. This not only brings new flavors to your plate, but you'll also automatically be doing something good for your gut.
high-fiber diet
The recommended daily intake of dietary fiber is around 30 grams, but 73% of men and 56% of women in Germany do not reach this requirement.³ However, dietary fiber is crucial for normal digestion and a balanced microbiome.⁴ ⁵ Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains can help you make your diet rich in fiber.
Fermented foods
Consuming fermented foods like kimchi, kefir, and sauerkraut increases the diversity of your gut microbiome.⁶ This not only benefits your gut but can also influence the function of your immune system. Fermented foods also offer a unique flavor boost and add variety to your daily diet. However, be sure to choose unpasteurized products, as pasteurization destroys beneficial microorganisms.
