Having good gut health is important to help manage your anxiety but also for your immunity, improving IBS, and has even been thought to help in weight management! Having a healthy gut is where we have a good balance of good bacteria in our gut. Good bacteria prevent the growth of bad bacteria, keeping pathogens out of our body and helping us to have a strong immune system. So how can we keep out gut bacteria happy? 🦠 ✔️ Eat probiotic foods, including yoghurt, kefir, pickles, sourdough bread, tempah and some cheeses. 🍞🧀🥛 ✔️Eat foods high in fibre, fibre is the food our gut bacteria eat and is an essential for their survival. Oats, berries, bananas, apples, asparagus, garlic, onions, legumes, beans and peas are good high-fibre foods to include in your diet. 🧄🍎🍌🍓🌾 ✔️ Eat a VARIETY of fibre-rich foods, the greater the variety in our diet, the greater the diversity of bacteria in our gut, which helps it to be healthy and strong. ✔️Mediate or do activities to relax and relieve stress. Stress affects our gut and our gut bacteria too. 🧘🏻‍♂️ ✔️Exercising often, all forms of exercise are good! Surprisingly, exercise has been found to affect the diversity of our gut microbiome. 🏃‍♂️ 🏊🏻‍♂️ ✔️Getting some sunshine each day, we get vitamin D through our exposure to the sun. Vitamin D is important for regulating our mood, immune system, and also digestive disorders. ☀️ #foodismedicine #anxietyrelief #guthealth #healyourgut #gutmicrobiome #brisbanedietitian #guthealing #ibs #anxietynutrition #anxietydietitian #foodformood #goodbacteria #pcos #eattherainbow #bloated #pcosdiet #fetrtilitydiet #mediteraneandiet #eliminationdiet #beyondblue #fitnessmotivation #workoutime #gutbrainaxisyoga
Zinc is an important nutrient for managing anxiety. It helps to decrease inflammation in the body, which contributes to anxiety and other mood disorders. Zinc is also important for helping with cell growth, a healthy metabolism, digestion, nerve function and immunity! If our bodies don’t have access to essential vitamins and minerals, such as zinc, then they can’t function as well. Leading to decreased immunity, energy, ability to cope with stress. Zinc can be found in cashews, legumes, shellfish, egg yolks and whole grains. 🦞🦐🥚🍳🥜🌾 The RDI for zinc is 8mg/day for women and 14 mg/day for men. #anxiety #anxietyrelief #guthealth #mentalhealth #cbt #cognitivebehaviortherapy #depression #healyourgut #brisbanedietitian #guthealing #eatrealfoods #ibs #consitpation #bloating #anxietynutrition #anxietydietitian # #foodformood #vitamind #sunshine #beyoneblue #pcos #pcosnutrition #ibsrelief
I was recently working with a client who made a comment about her severe anxiety by saying, ‘anyway anxiety, it’s just all in my head!’ This is just so not true! Anxiety affects the body physically in a number of ways AND is affected by the body when it is not functioning properly. Understanding the connection between our physical and mental health, can really help us understand our anxiety and how to manage it better. Anxiety has many physical affects on our body including: ✔️Increased heart rate, light headedness and rapid breathing ✔️Muscle tension, headaches and fatigue ✔️Constipation, diarrhea, nausea, and reflux ✔️Problems concentrating and sleeping ✔️Decreased immunity Anxiety can also be relieved by looking after our bodies better. This includes: 🍏Increasing the amount of exercise in your week 🍎Improving your diet 🍏Avoiding alcohol and cigarettes 🍎Avoiding caffeine 🍏Getting sufficient sleep Our mental health and physical health are intricately connected. There is so much we can do to help our mental health, by looking after our physical health and by understanding how they are connected. 🌸 #functionalnutrition #nourishyourmind # guthealthismentalhealth #brainfog #calmyourmind #holistichealing #anxietycoach #dietitianbrisbane #naturalanxietyrelief #anxietyrelief #anxiousmama #womenwithanxiety #consitpation #anxietyhelp #cbt #cognitivebehaviortherapay #anxietynutrition #anxietynutritionist #foodformood #eattherainbow #bloated
Variety is a crucial component of good gut health. Which in turns means strong immunity and good physical and mental health. 💪🏻🙌🏼✅😄🥕 Different foods contain different vitamins and minerals important for our health. 🥝🌽🥕🫒🧅🥑🫐🥥🍒🍎🍇🍋 A wide variety of plant foods are also ESSENNTIAL for a healthy gut microbiome, because it supports a wider variety of different beneficial species of bacteria.
