Why It’s Important to Protect Your Gut

We’ve all heard how important it is to boost our gut health with a healthy diet, probiotics, and plenty of fiber, but what really happens when our gut is unhappy?

Our gut is one of the most complex parts of our entire body. It is linked to our hormones, immune system, cognitive function, mood, and sleep. When our gut is not in good health, our whole body suffers. Our gut is easily impacted by stress, hormones, our lifestyle, our environment, fitness levels, and most importantly, the food on our plate. We experience inflammation in our gut when we eat unhealthy foods like greasy oils, refined sugars, and artificial chemicals. This inflammation can lead to constipation, bloating, diarrhea, and the malabsorption of essential nutrients.

Although many of these harmful factors are seen in most of the foods we find at the store and out to eat, there are a lot of supplements and foods you can include in your diet to boost gut health in a convenient and affordable way. Prebiotics in broccoli, chicory, garlic, and onions are great for feeding the healthy bacteria in your gut, while probiotic rich foods like yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, and kombucha help replenish the healthy bacteria in your gut. One of our favorite gut-friendly foods is beetroot. It’s naturally quite sweet, contains a ton of nutrients, and helps support those healthy gut bacteria levels.

We love making recipes with beetroot powder, and we even add it to our favorite baked goods and lattes with our Dragon Creamer. It contains creamy coconut and lightly sweet beetroot and it’s packed with antioxidants and prebiotics to help support a healthy gut.

So, the next time you’re looking for a new latte recipe, grab yourself a hot cup of joe and our Beetroot Creamer. Your gut (and digestion) will thank you later!
