• Get Your Gut Back on Track: A Simple 9-Step Reset

What’s a Gut Reset, Anyway?

Often called a detox or cleanse, a gut reset is all about bringing harmony back to your digestive system.

Science is still catching up on how effective these quick-fix cleanses are, but there's promising evidence that whole foods can genuinely help detoxify the body. In essence, it's about being kind to your gut not just one day but every day. Got it? Cool. Let’s dive in.

1. Time to Fast

Yes, you read it right. Start by fasting for 12 to 16 hours the night before. For example, if you eat dinner at 7 PM, don't eat again until at least 7 AM. It's not as bad as it sounds, promise. Fasting gives your gut a mini-vacation and helps it reset.

It can even help you shed water weight and ease bloating.

2. Begin with H2O

First thing in the morning, grab a glass of room-temperature or warm water. This not only hydrates you but also wakes up your digestive system. It's like a morning stretch but for your insides and stimulates digestion.

3. Breakfast Sans Sugar

For your morning meal, skip anything with added sugars.

Stick to natural sugar sources like fruits, but make sure they come along with fiber and fats. How about trying a green smoothie or a tofu scramble? Trust me; your gut will thank you.

The elimination of sugar can help protect you from obesity and metabolic syndrome as well.

4. Tea Time

Around mid-morning, go for a chai tea. It's not just comforting; the spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger help your digestive process. Plus, it's delicious.

In very early studies, researchers have found that the release of tea polyphenols have been shown to help to control the glycemic index and digestibility of starchy foods.

5. A Nutrient-Packed Lunch

Opt for a broth-based meal—either bone or vegetable broth works. Toss in some veggies for added fiber. Ever tried fermented foods like kimchi or sauerkraut? Now's a good time to start; they're packed with gut-friendly bacteria.

Why bone broth? Well, it’s been shown to help improve intestinal function.

6. Skip the Snacks

Remember the fasting thing? Well, try to keep that spirit alive by avoiding unnecessary snacks. If you're really hungry, some chai or veggies with hummus will do the trick.

7. Dinner with a Fiber Kick

Hunter-gatherers ate tons of fiber, and we should too. Opt for foods rich in prebiotic fibers—think sweet potatoes, leeks, and beans. These help the good bacteria in your gut thrive.

8. Chill Out

Stress can wreak havoc on your digestive system and increase inflammation.

When stressed, take deep breaths or try some quick yoga moves. It's amazing what a few minutes of mindfulness can do for your gut and overall well-being.

9. Hit the Sack Early

A good night’s sleep is essential for a happy gut… and not enough sleep is associated with an imbalance gut. Aim for at least 7-9 hours. You'll not only feel more rested but also give your body the time it needs to get that gut back in balance.

There you have it! A simple yet effective way to show some love to your gut. Trust us, it’s easier than it sounds and your body will thank you in spades. Cheers to a happy gut! 🥂
