Welcome to Day 23 of Opu Daily Digest - 30 Days to Better Gut Health!
Staying hydrated is always important, but during the hot 🥵 summer months, it becomes absolutely crucial - especially for your digestion.
Water helps your body break down food, absorb nutrients, and move waste 💩 through your intestines. Without enough of it, digestion slows down, constipation can creep in, and your gut bacteria 🦠 can get out of balance.
Here are a few hydration tips to help your gut thrive this summer:
- Sip steadily throughout the day instead of chugging large amounts at once.
- Start your morning ☀️ with a glass of water to wake up your digestive system.
- Add electrolytes (naturally with fruits or lightly salted foods) if you are sweating a lot.
Keeping your gut hydrated keeps everything flowing smoothly - literally and figuratively!
