Black peppers also improve gut health by increasing the bioavailability of turmeric. Add a dash of red or black pepper to your salads, soups and dals to boost your digestion!
While enhancing your wellbeing through food is vital, embracing wellbeing practices such as meditation can also strengthen your gut. A sustained practice of meditation activates the parasympathetic response or the “rest and digest” response in the body. And adopting an integrated approach to wellbeing — exercising daily, reducing stress and anxiety, expressing gratitude, and practising mindfulness — can give you a healthier gut and help you thrive!
