morning routines can make or break your day. but did you know that your morning habits can also make or break your gut health? starting your day on the right foot can set your gut up for success, boosting energy, clarity, and overall well-being.
lets talk about an ideal morning routine that you can set up for yourself!
hydrate, hydrate, hydrate; begin by drinking a full glass of water as soon as you wake up. this simple habit helps rehydrate your body after a night of sleep and kickstarts digestion. add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for an extra dose of vitamin c and digestive enzymes.
mindful mornings; start with a 10-minute morning meditation or deep breathing exercise. stress can wreak havoc on gut health, so take a moment to calm your mind and set intentions for the day.
get your fiber fix; incorporate fiber-rich foods into your breakfast routine, such as oatmeal, fruits, or veggies. fiber helps regulate bowel movements, supports beneficial bacteria, and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
include probiotics for the morning gut boost; incorporate probiotic-rich foods like yogurt in your breakfast meal if possible. probiotics support gut diversity, immune function, and even mental clarity.
get moving; incorporate some light physical activity, like yoga or a short walk. exercise stimulates gut motility, improves digestion, and boosts overall energy.
