For insights, click the link above. Here is a summary.
1. Eat Real Food (food that looks like something found in nature, instead of highly processed foods that looks manufactured and has lots of additives on the label)
2. Get Plenty of Fiber (to help digestion, gut health, and make you feel fuller quicker and longer)
3. Add Healthy Fats to Your Diet (by adding foods so you get a healthy fat mix and removing bad or excess fat foods)
4. Stay Hydrated (if your pee is dark yellow or the color of orange juice, you may be dehydrated)
5. Manage Your Stress (digestion works better when you're at lower stress, stay relaxed, eat relaxed)
6. Eat Mindfully (paying attention while you're eating, it helps you eat properly)
7. Chew Your Food (well-chewed food means nutrition can be absorbed, otherwise a lot just gets eliminated)
8. Get Moving (movement helps the food you eat move through your digestive tract, so avoid excess idleness)
9. Slow Down and Listen to Your Body (stop to pay attention to body signals like thirst, fullness, elimination readiness)
10. Ditch Bad Habits (like excess consumption, eating irregular hours, eating late, not eating when should)
11. Incorporate Gut-Supporting Nutrients (eating pre-biotic and pro-biotic foods can help the good gut bacteria to break down the food so you can absorb it better)
