I saw a megathread about how to fix gut health that was so many words, so little info so here it is summarised:
How to Heal Your Gut
- Eliminate Inflammatory Offenders:
- Avoid toxic fats, processed foods, gluten, alcohol, and chemicals like NSAIDs.
- Consider a 30-day elimination reset.
- Master Digestion:
- Chew thoroughly (20-30 times per bite) for better nutrient absorption.
- Drink apple cider vinegar or lemon water to stimulate stomach acid.
- Strategic Fasting:
- Try 12:16 intermittent fasting or 24-36 hour weekly fasts to support gut repair.
- Healing Elixirs:
- Bone broth, eggs, dates, raw milk, honey, black seed, and olive oil give gut-repairing nutrients.
- Black seed (Nigella sativa) is praised for its anti-inflammatory properties and healing benefits.
- Cultivate a Healthy Microbiome:
- Eat probiotic foods (e.g., kefir, kimchi) and prebiotics (e.g., garlic, onions).
- Use targeted probiotic supplements.
- Prioritize Sleep:
- Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep to repair the gut lining and balance the microbiome.
- Cold Showers (Optional):
- Boost circulation and reduce inflammation, supporting gut health.
- Get Outside & Move:
- Exposure to sunlight helps vitamin D production; light exercise aids digestion.
