Feeling Bloated?

This topic is a little taboo yet so many of my friends ask me what to do when bloated or not regular. Given that 60% of our neurotransmitters are in the gut -not the brain, that isn’t surprising we don’t feel good and aren’t in the best mood when our tummies are playing up. Digestion has a massive impact on our mental and physical well-being.  

Dangers of OTC laxatives

Many people use over the counter laxatives as a temporary relief. The problem with those is they make things worse in the medium term and can make them pretty bad in the long-term. Slimming teas and constipation OTC pills disturb the flora and cause constipation the following day and after. Long-term, they can stop the intestinal peristalsis, which is the movements the intestines makes to move food along. Basically, they disrupt the normal functioning of intestines and make digestion even more out of sync. Favorite
