Welcome to Day 21 of Opu Daily Digest - 30 Days to Better Gut Health!
Today we are talking about a major player in gut health - stress .
When you are stressed, your body shifts into "fight or flight" mode, and digestion is one of the first things that slows down.
This can lead to everything from bloating and cramping to changes in your bathroom habits. 💩
Stress can even alter the balance of your gut bacteria if it goes unchecked for too long.
But the good news is, there are simple things you can do to help your gut stay calm, even when life gets chaotic:
-
Breathe deeply - slow, deep breathing activates your body's "rest and digest" system.
-
Stay hydrated - stress can dehydrate you without you realizing it.
-
Move your body - light exercise like walking can help release built-up tension.
- Stick to your gut routine - even if your schedule is crazy, taking your Opu daily can help keep your gut bacteria strong!
