Digest this for a Healthy Gut
Stress can play a big part in many men’s lives. The
results on the body can be immense. Stomach and intestinal
ulcers can be a direct effect of chronic stress, poor diet
and overall lack of fitness.
Recurrent indigestion and stomach aches can be the first
signs that something is amiss. Now is the time to act to
prevent ulceration.
If the gut is a problem then it probably goes without saying
that what you put into it has a big influence on its overall
health. Small changes in diet can make a big difference:
- Eat only fresh foods.
- Eat lots of fruit and veg – at least 5 portions
per day.
- Go for wholemeal foods rather than white, refined foods
e.g. wholemeal bread versus white bread.
- Each day have a tablespoon of ground mixed seeds –
sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, linseed. You can purchase
bags at your local health store.
- Avoid rich foods.
- Aloe vera juice (100% concentration only) or Slippery
Elm tea – both soothe the gut.
