Gut health is such an incredibly complex topic which can't possibly be covered in one post! We will share a much more detailed blog at a later date but it would be remiss of us not to mention it in these top tips as it has such a huge influence on your immune system as well as your stress and anxiety levels

There is now overwhelming evidence proving the gut has a direct impact on overall health and more recently it has become apparent the significant relationship between gut bacteria and mental health issues, such as stress, depression and anxiety.

Some of the key triggers have been identified as:

Poor sleep patterns

High sugar diets

High intake of processed foods

Frequent use of antibiotic

Alcohol

Frequent travelling (Don't think we need to worry about that one at the moment!)

Lack of movement

Fortunately, there are lots of things you can do to help improve your gut health to bring your gut back into balance

Some quick and simple tips are:

Clean up your diet - Avoid sugar and processed food and try to include lots of high fibre vegetables and healthy fats.

Keep moving - Exercises can increase the amount of good bacteria in your gut and increases diverse microbiome

Sunlight - Exposure to natural sunlight helps to balance gut microbiome

Bone broth - Both broth packs a powerful punch of nutrients to help repair and balance gut lining. We personally love

Healthy sleep patterns - Ideally a minimum of 7 hours and a maximum of 9 between the hours of 10pm and 7am.

These are the tip of the iceberg for good gut health but certainly a great starting point. Also check out

who have some great gut advice

By incorporating some (Or all!) of these into your daily lifestyle it will balance your gut health which will directly build your immunity levels

A growing body of research proves a well balanced gut microbiome can improve mood and help ease stress and negative thoughts

We will hopefully have some great gut health products on our website very soon so watch this space!
