Hopefully you and your loved ones are doing well in these "New Normal" times of COVID-19.

The last years in my life have been so busy trying to fit it all in, working, studying, being there for my family and friends in the U.S. and in Germany, that taking care of my own health has sometimes fallen a bit short. I am using this time for the best self-care I can think of. I am studying very intensely Functional Nutrition, spending time with my husband and our adult children living with us right now, and I spend time on the phone with my mom, and my sister and brother-in-law. We prepare and enjoy the most delicious nutritious meals I can think of to boost our immunity, and I am definitively sleeping more.

I am amazed and grateful for the variety of healthy choices in our local supermarkets, thanks to all the supporters throughout this country!!

To be honest, a time to reflect a bit more, and not always be on the move feels good as well as the daily workouts at home.

 

 

 

How to Improve Your Digestion/Please check out upcoming WORKSHOPS!

For me it is a wonderful time to rethink my own eating habits, try new things, see how my body reacts to it. I am currently on a 5-day vegan fast with food intake in between only 10 hours. I feel great! No coffee, no alcohol, just vegan organic nutrient dense food choices.

Please call me for an appointment if you like my support to get back on track. Even if we might not be able to go to our favorite beaches yet, we still want to feel healthy and strong, and get into our summer clothes feeling comfortable and confident, right? I am here to help!!!

Between the anxiety for the future, finances, and our loved one's health, many of us have chosen comfort food. It is time to support our gut-health, get back to balance and heal so that we can move forward in a healthy manner. Feeling bloated, constipated, or having occasional diarrhea are all signs that the gut needs a bit of pampering.

 

Did you know that:

• More than 70 % of our immune system is located in the lining of the gut?
• About 70 Million people suffer from some kind of digestive disease?
• 70% of all Americans are or will suffer from some kind of digestive dysfunction in their lifetime?

Digestion is actually the biggest stress we put on our system each and every day! And sometimes, when the digestive system is already taxed and/or the body is suffering too much stress and is depleted, we need to pay heed.

 

 

 

Here are a few ideas to improve your digestion:

❶  Drink more water!

There really is no excuse to not drink enough water while we are home, right? Water is one of the main nutrients that the gut needs to move things along, to keep the mucosal lining of the stomach healthy, which supports the small intestines bacteria for the best absorption and digestion of nutrients. The lack of water in our digestive tract leads to indigestion, heartburn, fatigue and of course constipation.

❷  Chew your food properly!

Now that many of us are home, take your time to eat a meal in peace. Chewing properly helps digesting our food properly and makes the process easier on our digestive tract. Say a prayer, a blessing, take a few deep breaths before enjoying a well prepared delicious meal.

❸  Don't overeat!

Eating too much food at once is taxing for our digestive system. Practice eating mindful, reflect, and practice moderation.

❹  Eat real foods!

Use the time at home for food preparations and to form new habits. Cooking whole foods from the scratch is simple, saves you money, and it makes digestion easier. Artificial ingredients, fillers, and chemicals of processed foods are overwhelming on the digestive tract.

❺  Eat more fiber!

Fiber keeps the colon healthy. It speeds up the transit time through the colon, dilutes the effects on any toxic compounds, and helps to remove bad bacteria from the colon. All beans and legumes, raspberries, Collard Greens, cinnamon, Winter Squash, pears, broccoli, spinach, Brussel Sprouts, cabbage, and flaxseeds are high in fiber!

❻  Exercise!

We need proper muscle tone all around the abdomen for food to digest properly. Increasing exercise can improve digestion, even if you don't change the way you eat. Add exercise routines to your newly created habits.

❼  Add probiotics.

We need good bacteria to strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation. My favorite probiotics are from Patientoneformulas.com. The BEST about this supplement company is that all products are labeled/tested in amazing detail and precision. That is what we all need!
