How to settle the gut without diet changes or supplements:
💧Hydration - Humans need proper hydration (quality water + electrolytes/minerals). Everything feels better when we are hydrated.
🌎Grounding - This helps support anti-inflammation and charges your body battery. Touch the earth daily with your bare foot/hand! (Any time is better than no time at all.)
⏰Set your body clock - Signalling from the sun drives circadian rhythm and bodily processes. If you get out of whack when traveling in different time zones, you know the importance of circadian rhythm. Get outside every morning and throughout the day to sync up!
💤Sleep - Just like babies, we all need adequate sleep to function well.
🍽️Fast - Bowel rest for a few hours or more (up to 24, 48, 72 hours *seek professional guidance) helps to relieve and reset gut tissues.
🧘🏽♂️Meditation - This helps to slow down the busy mind, focus on the positive, and calm the body.
🤸🏽♂️Gentle movement - Walking (think stroll not powerwalk), gentle yoga, and other full body mobility practices keep the body and lymph moving at a tolerable level.
🤲🏼 Bodywork - Hands of professionals have powerful healing. Getting bodywork from a practitioner who does one of the following may help!
Bowenwork
Visceral manipulation
Lymphatic work/massage
⚠️ Avoid toxins - The body is already struggling and layering on the toxins with fake fragrances, “forever chemicals” and harsh chemicals in beauty and household supplies, and drinking alcohol is one more hurdle for the body to overcome.
Did I miss anything??🧐
Oh yes - slow down to Grandma’s pace! She would appreciate that.
Be well!! ❤️ + ☀️- C
