By now, you've probably heard about how your gut health affects your overall well-being. But what does that really mean, and how can you take care of your gut? Let's explore the connection between whole foods and a happy gut.

Imagine your gut as a bustling city called your "Microbiome," filled with trillions of tiny workers called bacteria. This bacteria plays a crucial role in keeping us healthy and strong by providing building blocks for our body and mind.

When we eat whole, clean foods from local, organic, and regenerative farms, we provide our gut bacteria with the best fuel to do their job effectively. Just like we need healthy food to stay strong, our bacteria need the right kind of food too. When our gut microbiome is happy and healthy, so are we.

A diet rich in colorful fruits, veggies, and naturally-raised meats and eggs gives our gut bacteria the tools they need to build a strong foundation for our overall health. Our bacteria help us develop strong muscles, nourish our brain, and support a longer, healthier life.

On the other hand, consuming "food-like products" such as processed foods, fast food, and junk food can harm our gut health. When we consistently eat poor-quality foods, the foundation our microbiome weakens, negatively impacting our overall well-being.

While it's important to strive for a clean and healthy diet, we understand that it's not always easy or affordable. We empathize with the challenges of busy schedules and parenting, as we are parents to four wonderful children ourselves.

Did you know that the health of the soil directly affects the nutritional value of the plants we eat? Just like our bodies need the proper nutrition, so do the plants, and animals. Unfortunately, many soils today are depleted of essential nutrients, which leads to nutrient-deficient plants. Without these necessary minerals and nutrients being in the plants, we cannot be as healthy as physically possible.

To address these issues, nutritional supplementation can be helpful. Supplements provide the vitamins, minerals, and other compounds that may be missing from our daily diet. Some companies, including those we work with at Azure Star Chiropractic, offer supplements made from high-quality organically grown, and nutritionally dense fruits, vegetables, and herbs. These supplements provide the necessary ingredients to support a healthy microbiome and a healthy body. They can turbo-charge our health and help us achieve our goals faster.

If you feel like you need a little extra support to meet your daily nutritional needs, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We can help you find the right supplements that work for you and support your overall well-being. Call us today for a healthier, and happier, you.
