Fiber Facts, This is Really Why You Need Fiber

Regular exercise helps your gut health, but fiber plays a big roll in this as well. For more information schedule a fitness consultation at Hatha Yoga and Fitness. Get in about 30 g of Fiber per day. You need about 14 g of fiber per 1000 calories you eat each day. So somewhere between 25-35 g per day, depending on your actual weight and calorie consumption.

Inflammatory bowel diseases include both Chron's and Ulcerative colitis, and a group of yet to be determined 'indeterminate colitis." These are lifelong, serious, and yet can be controlled.

How your gut is regulating what you eat

Feeling hungry? Ever think about what is going on in your gut producing those feelings. It's your gut bacteria, and everything you do to make that bacteria happy will make you healthier.

How you prevent the food from literally fermenting in your gut health

Have you thought how about how you digest your food lately? Simplistically explained nutrition begins with you ingesting the proper food, breaking the nutrients out of food, and then biochemically absorbing the nutrients. Chewing begins the process. The stomach acid is the next critical step. And then the enzymes of the pancreases and the small intestine break down the major components of food including your cars, proteins and fats.

One of the biggest struggles we have in gynecology is diagnosing the cause of bloating and diet adjustment is often part of the diagnosis as well as the cure. Often bloating and gas is seen just on the menstrual period, and that is treated as any menstrual cramps are treated, or during ovulation, or as a consequence of other pelvic conditions such as endometriosis. However, if the symptoms worsen with certain foods, do not follow any hormonal pattern, or are cured by avoidanc

Are all probiotics created equally?

Lets just say gut health is critical, healthy gut bacteria levels are a healthy gut. Consuming healthy bacteria is a long proven health strategy. Ages ago, probably about 10,000 years ago, before we were able to package probiotic microorganisms, fermented foods including beer, bread, wine, kefir, kumis, yogurt, and cheese were consumed for their nutritional and healing purposes. To that end, pretty much all probiotics are good for you, we think. In a study , published in the

Are you guilty of this heartburn causing mistake?

A bit of heartburn after a bit of food indulgence is not unexpected, when it becomes chronic it might need medication. Most women have not learned that there is considerably more to selecting heartburn (GERD) medication than they thought as often we wind up taking these medications for longer period of times than intended, and with potentially longer term effects.
