How smoothies restore gut health

20/2/2016

eMost people (including the old me), do not know that there is a direct link between the state of your digestive system and your overall health. In fact, many people don't even realise how important the gut actually is.

The majority of your immune system is in your gut. Therefore, if your gut is unhealthy, your entire body is unhealthy. For example, as I have mentioned in my 'About me' page that I have overcome a myriad of health issues when I restored my gut.

Take from it what you may, but it's been shown that 9 out of 10 people who have autism also have a gut imbalance such as leaky gut and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), or have a high amount of bad bacteria in the gut.That's a monumental finding! Imagine if your own health issues are a result of your gut health, and imagine how great you could feel if you fix your gut.

To understand how smoothies play a role in gut health, you have to know the causes of gut imbalance. The first is an overworked digestive system.

Just like you need a break from work, so does your digestive system. Imagine how you would feel if you worked 24/7. You'd feel like complete crap, as does your digestive system it you don't give it a break. Smoothies allow your digestive system to rest while still giving it the nutrients it needs. Allowing your digestive system to rest also conserves tons of energy.

The benefits of super smoothies!

​Everyone asks me the same question - "Why are smoothies so flippin' awesome?" Smoothies are miraculous in so many ways. They are:
  • Chock full of vitamins, enzymes, and minerals
  • Easy to digest, which means optimal assimilation of nutrients (those little buggers get to where they need to go quickly and get soaked up by your cells)
  • Great for stabilising blood sugar (you need to add healthy fat)
  • A fabulous way to consume a variety of different fruits or vegetables at one time
  • Terrific for cleansing the body of toxicity
  • An easy way to add more finer to your diet for optimal bowel function
  • A great source of natural energy
  • The best on-the-go meal
