Welcome to Day 11 of your 30-Day Opu Gut Health Journey!
Today we are celebrating some of the real MVPs of gut health, prebiotic-packed foods like apples, garlic, and asparagus. These foods are rich in special types of fiber that your body cannot digest, but your good gut bacteria absolutely love 🩷.
By regularly eating foods that are crunchy, fibrous, and full of prebiotics, you are giving your microbiome 🦠the fuel it needs to stay strong, diverse, and balanced. Plus, the natural crunch of fruits and veggies is great for digestion and keeps meals satisfying.
A happy gut loves a little crunch, and so will you!
Gut-Healthy Food for the Day:
Snack on a fresh apple today. The skin is loaded with prebiotic fiber, so do not peel it!
Random Health Fact (We Care About More Than Just Your Gut!):
Laughing does way more than just make you feel good. When you laugh, your body releases a cocktail of "feel-good" hormones like endorphins and dopamine, which help reduce stress and boost your mood.
Laughter also improves blood flow, supports your immune system, and even stimulates your vagus nerve, the main nerve connecting your gut and brain.
(Pro tip: Adding more laughter to your day is like a mini workout for your gut, your brain, and your heart!)
