As a society, we can definitely overcomplicate things when it comes to our diets…

Social media doesn’t help…

Neither do the countless magazine articles we see claiming that “(Insert random food) will ‘fix your gut health’…” or “Avoid (insert another random food) if you want a healthy gut”…

The truth is that it’s unlikely that one particular food will ‘fix your gut’…And, unless you have an allergy or intolerance, there’s no reason to avoid whole food groups for your gut health either! 

But…there are certain habits and eating patterns that are associated with healthier guts…

So we’ve compiled a simple checklist for you to keep in mind when you’re trying to improve your gut health… How many can you tick off?
 

 

 

 

 

 

Of course, some people will need more specialised advice (eg those suffering from ibs) and we highly recommend you seek individualised professional help if that is you…

But for most, if you can honestly say you’re getting these things into your diet *most* days, you’re off to a great start!

Which one do you find the most difficult to include in your diet most days?
