 You're going to love how true and beautiful this first tip is! Eat Real Food! We know, right? So why don't we do it? The easiest way to support our digestion is to eat what the body is naturally equipped to digest: real, fresh, whole and organic foods packed full of vitamins, fiber, antioxidants, and enzymes. Foods in season and grown locally are our best choices. Our bodies are not meant to process artificial foods. Not only are such foods devoid of nutrition, but they actually drain our body’s nutrient reserves in order to digest them and then eliminate the toxins! Don’t be fooled by “enriched” proclamations either – this is just a sign the food has been heavily processed; hence, the loss of nutrients to replace (synthetically) and only those nutrients that we know of at this time.
Eating real food also means avoiding GMO foods. It is simply too early to tell how these foods are affecting our bodies. If a fungicide can be injected into the cell of a plant and we ingest that plant, could it be killing off beneficial gut microflora? Real food is natural and easy for our body to digest, provides more nutrients than processed foods, and is rich in fibre. Fibre helps us feel full, regulates our blood sugar levels and most importantly, feeds and nourishes our good gut bacteria. So why reach for processed crap when you can nourish yourself with something better? What real food will you indulge in today? If you want a treat, pick a food you love but always pass over due to practicality or price, like pomegranate, berries or melon.
