Good gut health is vital for optimal performance.

Our physical and mental health can be detrimentally impacted if our gut biome falls out of balance.

Fortunately, we can take action to ensure that we are as healthy as possible:

1) Eat food that promote good gut bacteria (pre-biotics) as well as take pro-biotic supplements. This will reduce illness durations and increase our immunity levels.

2) Poop with the correct posture (legs up/squatting and relaxed). Gross, but considering how often we poop, we need to be doing it right.

3) Eat with calm. Don’t rush food, or make it a stress as doing so reduces digestive efficiency.

4) Determine what kinds of foods you struggle to digest and start gently removing them from your diets (eg: gluten, dairy etc).

Take Action:
The next time you eat, do so mindfully. Feel your body before, during and after the meal. How do you feel? Do you like the feeling?
