Welcome to Day 17 of your 30-Day Opu Gut Health Journey!
Today we are diving into one of the most powerful (and underrated) tools for gut health, good sleep 😴.
When you sleep, your body goes into full repair mode, and your gut gets a much-needed reset.
During deep sleep, your gut lining works on repairing 🔧 itself, your beneficial bacteria 🦠 get a chance to rebalance, and your body regulates inflammation. Sleep also strengthens the communication between your gut and your brain 🧠through the vagus nerve, helping both systems work more smoothly together.
In short, sleep is not just for rest, it is critical for gut healing, gut maintenance, and gut thriving 💪🏽.
If you are not getting enough good-quality sleep, your digestion, immune system, and even your gut microbiome can suffer.
That is why creating a calming bedtime routine and prioritizing those precious 7 to 9 🕙 hours can be a major win for your gut health!
Gut-Healthy Food for the Day:
Add some kiwi to your day! Studies show that kiwi can naturally support digestion and may even help improve sleep quality thanks to its serotonin content.
