Let’s talk about the effects of stress on our health, specifically our gut and weight.
Chronic stress can wreak havoc on our bodies in numerous ways. One of the main ways is by disrupting our gut microbiome.
Our gut contains trillions of microorganisms that help regulate digestion, immunity, and even mood.
Stress causes inflammation and changes to gut bacteria, leading to digestive issues like constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and stomach pain.
Stress also encourages overeating and cravings for sugary, fatty comfort foods.
This is because stress stimulates the release of cortisol, which can increase appetite.
Chronic stress and poor diet can result in weight gain over time. The extra pounds we put on also further alter our gut microbes.
The good news is there are natural ways we can help rebalance our gut and manage stress-related weight gain.
Supplements like Cleanse & Slim gently cleanse and detoxify the gut, aiding digestion, and promoting healthy weight.
The Psyllium Husk acts as a prebiotic to feed healthy bacteria. Bentonite clay helps remove toxins, while oat bran adds fiber to improve regularity. Flaxseed and black walnut provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. The probiotic Lactobacillus Acidophilus also replenishes good bacteria levels.
Additionally, glucomannan, apple pectin, and prune are mild natural laxatives to alleviate constipation and cleanse the colon. Aloe vera soothes and heals the digestive lining. Over time, these effects may support healthy weight management and relieve stress-related digestive symptoms.
