Here is the recap of last weeks’ Gut Health info. It says the day, the topic and a supplement if your body needs extra support in that area. Remember to check our our  Facebook and Instagram pages to watch the videos of me explaining these topics in more depth!

Day 6-Leaky Gut –Okra Pepsin

  1. Weakened cell walls create a leaky cell wall that allow undigested food in your body
  2. Undigested food gets absorbed and stimulates a chronic immune/inflammation response

  1. Soluble fiber is fiber like apple pectin.  It is food for good bacteria
  2. Fibrous food allows the good bacteria to multiply but to release vitamins and minerals
  3. Insoluble fiber is undigestible but acts as a scraper to keep the colon clean
  4. Eating fibrous foods like apples, beets, all vegetables and fruit is healthy
