HEALTHY DIGESTION

How to Have a Healthy Tummy

Antioxidants in action for a healthier digestive system

How important is having a healthy digestive system? For starters, it ensures that our body gets a substantial amount of nutrients from the food we eat. In turn, our body can efficiently turn these nutrients into energy and maintain a strong and healthy body.

But how do we ensure our gut health? Let’s take a look below.               

  1. Eat fiber-rich food to help the digestion of food and the disposal of waste. This will help clean your digestive tract and improve the absorption of the nutrients you need from food.
  2. Take food supplements that will complement the nutrients we get from our food. NutraBod has these essential variants that will help us keep our bodies protected, nurtured, and safe. Learn more about them below: 

Virgin Coconut Oil (Oil)

Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) is packed with essential compounds that aid our digestive system. It contains Lauric acid which has Monolaurin that acts as an antibacterial and anti-microbial agent when digested.

This would then protect our digestive system from harmful bacteria that may cause diseases.

Turmeric

Turmeric has been around for thousands of years. The Indians are using it for the last 4000 years for various reasons. For starters, it offers versatility. 

You can take it in the form of juices, paste, powder, and tea. People also use Turmeric for good digestion, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps protect the digestive tract from bacteria and infection.

Moreover, it helps relieve various conditions like bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, and bowel diseases. 

Resveratrol

Another supplement that can help balance our system is Resveratrol. Resveratrol acts as a strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial. Also one of its best characteristics is its anti-cancer properties. 

You can find Resveratrol in more than 70 plant species. The most common of which are grapes’ skin and seeds. This makes red wine a good source of Resveratrol. Interestingly, Resveratrol comes with gut microbiomes.

These are the various micro-organisms, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and the other organisms in our gastrointestinal tract that play important roles in digestion. And taking Resveratrol helps keep everything in check.

It promotes healthy bacteria in our gut which protects us from diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and even Cardiovascular concerns.

Astaxanthin

Last but not least is Astaxanthin, which is one of nature’s fascinating gifts. Interestingly, this carotenoid chemical compound comes from the sea. Sea creatures like trout, algae, yeast, and shrimp carry Astaxanthin.

Like turmeric, it is a powerful antioxidant, which helps protect, nourish, and cure the body. Furthermore, 

Astaxanthin helps improve the metabolism of sugar. This is beneficial especially for people with diabetes. It also helps manage ulcers in our stomachs. 

As a powerful antioxidant, Astaxanthin balances out free radicals in the body. It is the free radicals that cause an imbalance in the body, leading to various diseases that weaken our system.

Thankfully, Astaxanthin helps strengthen the wall of the intestines. It reduces the number of bacteria called H. Pylori that is responsible for stomach ulcers when a study was done in mice.

If you wish to experience the benefits of these antioxidants, taking NutraBod daily is the way to go!
