7 easy habits to start improving your gut health and overall well being

When there is an overwhelming amount of new information, new products, and new ideas escalating every single day,

I find the biggest, lasting changes to someone’s health come from simple daily habits.

Here are my top 7 that I would encourage you to start incorporating into your days and weeks.

There are so many things you can focus on, but perhaps all you need to do is narrow your lens and focus on little things that will have a bigger impact.

While these habits may not be ultra specific to the gut, they have a very positive effect on your quality of life and whole body.

1. Get Morning Sunlight On Your Skin As Soon As Possible After Waking
   Morning sunlight exposure helps regulate the body's internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm. Exposure to natural light in the morning helps synchronize the circadian rhythm
   Morning sunlight has also been shown to improve serotonin production, reduce cortisol and regulate the metabolism
   
   
2. Eat Enough Protein Throughout The Day
   Aim for 30-40g of protein per meal.
   
   This will support your blood sugar levels and a healthy metabolism, reduce cravings and due to its higher thermogenic effect which can help with weight loss
   
   
3. Walking
   Walking after a meal or even for 20 minutes per day will improve digestion, insulin, & glucose responses.
   Walking will also help the lymphatic system, which is essential for detoxification
   
   
4. Practice intentional breathing
   Using deep breathing and methods like the box breathing method will help with
   - Digestion
   - Blood pressure
   - Regulating your stress response
   - Improve your sleep
   - Improve your overall hormone health
   
   
5. Cook your meals at home
   Knowing 100% what goes into your food without having any sneaky sugar, sweeteners, additives, or preservatives is one of the easiest ways you can look after your gut health, as it gives you complete control of what goes into your body.
   By cooking meals at home, it will force you to slow down rather than trying to eat on the go in a stressed out state, which affects how we digest food
   
   
6. Add in organ meats
   Either fresh organs or our dessicated beef organ capsules are a great way to get in extra nutrients that are now missing in our modern day diets. Nutrients like Vitamin A,E,D and K, Copper, Iron, Zinc which are all building blocks for our gut, brain, hormones energy and complete overall health
   
   
7. Take your shoes off and connect to the earth
