Inflammatory foods include refined sugars, flours and carbohydrates, caffeine, alcohol, and foods you are sensitive to.
Studies have shown that exercise can impact microbiota diversity. This means that it increases the different forms of bacteria strains in our gut microbiome, supporting our overall gut health.
You can obtain probiotics by consuming fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, or yogurts and kefir. Probiotics provide fuel for good bacteria, and can create a more balanced gut.
Antibiotics, and many other medications such as NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen can reduce the amounts of good bacteria in our microbiome.
Stress has a large impact on our digestive health – it can increase overall inflammation, create constipation or diarrhea.
