How do you know if your internal microbiome is healthy and happy?

 The bacteria in our gut outnumbers the cells in our bodies by about 10 to 1, that means that if we keep these bacteria feeling good, the chance is that we would feel good too. Science has proven that there is a link between our brain and our stomach. A gut that is like a pool of friendly bacteria has been linked with increased mental wellbeing.

However, there is also research that shows that the bacteria in our gut has also being linked to obesity, and insufficient amount of good bacteria, may have a direct link to multiple sclerosis. Bacteria supports our immune system, helping us process and absorb nutrients and lower the risk of many conditions including:

• obesity
• heart disease
• diabetes
• cancer
• mental health and mood conditions

So what is the issue with gut bacteria?

Good and bad bacteria live in and on us quite happily in harmony, the problem occurs when there is an imbalance of more bad than good bacteria. Stress, illness, too much exercise, low production of acids, constipation, poor diet, and certain medications like antibiotics, can have a negative impact on our gut health. Thankfully, this imbalance can be restored.

Signs and symptoms of an imbalanced gut.

 These are some of the signs and symptoms of an imbalanced gut:

• Excessive gas and belching
• Increased bloating
• Heartburn and reflux
• Dull hair
• Brittle nails
• Changes to your stools and frequency of bowel movement.

Does a gut reset work?

Eating a healthful, balanced diet and eliminating potentially harmful foods may help people feel better in a variety of ways.

Research has shown that short-term dietary changes do alter a person’s gut flora.

Researchers have found that bacteria responds rapidly to a sudden change to a plant-based diet.

This suggests that a 3-day gut reset may positively influence the microbiome during the diet. For lasting benefits, however, it may be necessary to implement longer-term changes to diet and lifestyle.

How can PerezNutri_Health help?

At PerezNutri_Health we can offer a three-day gut reset programme based on healthy fats, vegetables and other sources of fibre.

A 3-day gut reset may help a person transition to a diet that includes more of these foods.

If a person wants to try our 3-day gut reset, it is a good idea to plan ahead. Gut resets often require sudden and significant changes to the diet, so it can help if you prepare by:

• clearing out from cupboards or the refrigerator any foods they are trying to avoid
• planning meals for the next 3 days
• making a grocery list and shopping for the ingredients beforehand
• cooking or freezing dishes ahead of time
• making sure they have time each day to prepare homemade meals, exercise, and rest
