Gut health - what is it and why is it so important?
“Gut health” describes the function and balance of bacteria within our gastrointestinal tract. That’s the nine-metre-long tube that delivers food from our mouths all the way to...the exit. A lot goes on in there from the digestion of food to the absorption of nutrients amongst other things. So, it’s no surprise that the gut has a huge impact on our health. A healthy gut supports heart health, brain health, a strong immune system, your mood, your sleep and maintaining a healthy weight to name but a few.
When it comes to a healthy gut diversity is key - that means a diet rich in different types of fibre from various sources. The simple solution is that any and all plant- based foods are a big YES! Think INclusion rather than EXclusion. We would recommend aiming for 30 different plant-based foods every week,more if you can! And this box is a great start ...
Getting the best products in this box was our number one priority and that’s why we enlisted the help of certified Nutrionist, Rebecca Heald. So, not only will you get a box of amazing products, but you will also get information on how they can help support you to get a healthier gut.

Yum & Yay Splendid Milled Mixed Seeds (200g)
Seeds are loaded with dietary fibre and help promote the growth of healthy bacteria. They’re also a versatile ingredient so why not add a quick pop of texture to your next meal or enjoy as a snack.

Kombucha is a fermented drink jam packed full of antioxidants and live bacteria which helps digestion and your immune system. This shot puts the good bacteria back in your gut that processed food and medications often take away. It may not be the type of shot that you are used to, but this kind has a lot more benefits!
Robinsons Mini, No Added Sugar, Low Calorie, Apple and Blackcurrant (66 ml)
Water is essential for a healthy gut. Drinking enough each day helps regulate bowel movements, balances your good bacteria and avoid gastrointestinal infections. A great way to increase your intake is to add a couple of flavoured drops to your bottle.
