In today’s fast-paced life, the most ignored part is our intestine. Often people ignore stomach problems considering them minor, whereas our gut health affects almost every process of the body. From digestion to sleep, skin, mood, immunity and energy.
How we wake up in the morning, what we eat and drink, when we sleep and what small habits we adopt throughout the day. All these together make our gut healthy and unhealthy. This is the reason why doctors and researchers around the world emphasize on Gut Health by calling it the second brain. Meanwhile, Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a famous gastroenterologist and hepatologist with 25 years of experience, trained at AIIMS, Harvard and Stanford, has shared very simple but effective habits in an Instagram post. He says that how healthy our stomach will be in the coming years depends on the habits formed today. So let us know what effective rules have been suggested by G AMS-Trend Doctor for better Gut Health.
1. Start the morning not with mobile – Dr. Sethi says that looking at the phone as soon as you wake up increases stress, because cortisol is already high in our body in the morning. Scrolling the screen at this time makes the mind more restless. Instead, take 1–2 minutes to express gratitude for your day. It activates the vagus nerve, which improves both digestion and mood.
2. Take sunlight for 10 minutes in the morning – Light morning sunlight resets the body’s circadian rhythm. This improves Vitamin D, improves mood and balances the intestinal clock, which means it helps your digestive system to function properly throughout the day.
3. Walk for 10 minutes after eating – Doctors believe that a light walk after eating is the easiest way for digestion. Due to this, food gets digested quickly and well, blood sugar does not increase suddenly, and heavy sleep that comes after eating does not occur. Just a 10 minute walk after eating is enough.
4. Eat fermented things three times a week – Fermented things increase good bacteria in the intestine. These include curd, kefir, kimchi and kanji. Dr. Sethi says that there is no need of any capsule for this, natural food is enough.
5. Increase herbs and spices in food and drinks – Traditional spices of India not only enhance the taste but are also a boon for the intestine like turmeric, ginger, cumin, fennel and black pepper. These help in digestion, reduce inflammation in the intestine and strengthen the microbiome.
6. Keep a fixed limit of 12 hours for daily meals – Limit eating from 8 am to 8 pm. This gives adequate rest to the intestine at night, and the detox process improves. Limiting eating time improves digestion, keeps weight under control and improves sleep quality.
7. Eat berries regularly – Berries increase good gut bacteria and reduce oxidative stress in the body. Before eating them, it is advisable to wash them thoroughly with baking soda and water to remove any chemicals.
8. Get good sleep of 7 to 8 hours – Sleep is as important for the intestine as food, Dr. Sethi says that the microbiome repairs itself at night. Staying up late at night not only disturbs digestion but also increases the desire to eat sweets the next day. Therefore, at least 7-8 hours of calm, deep sleep every day is necessary.
