Your Daily Guide To A Healthier Gut
Morning routine for a healthy gut
Start with a glass of warm water (optionally with lemon) to kickstart digestion.
Eat a fiber-rich breakfast like oatmeal topped with berries and chia seeds, boiled eggs, idli, moong dal chilla, etc., to feel satiated.
Take 5 minutes for deep breathing or meditation to lower morning stress.
Lunch-time routine
Include fermented foods — e.g., a side of kimchi or a bowl of yogurt/buttermilk.
Focus on a diverse plate: mix different colored vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains.
Afternoon routine
Sip on water throughout the day. Set a reminder in your phone, if needed.
Snack smart. Choose nuts, fruits, or a smoothie bowls over processed and packaged snacks.
Evening routine
Eat dinner early to give your gut time to digest before bed. Chew food slowly and mindfully to aid digestion.
Unwind with a short walk, light stretching, reading or journaling to manage stress.
Night routine
Prioritize 7–9 hours of sleep in a dark, cool room to help your gut restore itself overnight. This will help reset your gut.
