10 Easy Habits for a Happier, Healthier Gut
Your gut does more than just digest food. It's home to trillions of bacteria that influence your digestion, immune system, energy levels and even your mood. But in our fast-paced world, gut health is often overlooked until something goes wrong – like bloating, constipation, or that sluggish, off feeling you can't quite explain.
At Fromel, we're big believers in prevention, consistency and daily habits that support your wellbeing from the inside out. If you're wondering how to improve your digestion, support your gut microbiome and feel more energised, here are 10 easy gut-friendly habits you can start today.
1. Start Your Morning with a Glass of Warm Water and Lemon
Before your morning coffee, try sipping on warm water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. It helps rehydrate your body after sleep, stimulates digestion and supports your liver – all essential for a healthy gut.
2. Take a Daily Probiotic Supplement
A consistent, high-quality probiotic helps top up the good bacteria in your gut, supporting digestion, reducing bloating and boosting immunity. Fromel’s probiotic capsules are formulated to be taken daily – no fuss, just friendly bacteria where you need them most.
3. Eat More Fermented Foods
Fermented foods like yoghurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi and miso naturally contain probiotics. Including them in your meals can help maintain a diverse microbiome. Aim for small daily servings to keep your gut bacteria happy.
4. Stay Hydrated Throughout the Day
Water plays a key role in breaking down food, absorbing nutrients and preventing constipation. If you're feeling sluggish or bloated, it could be a sign that your digestion needs more fluids. Try carrying a water bottle or infusing water with fruit for added flavour.
5. Prioritise Fibre-Rich Foods
Your gut bacteria feed on fibre, especially from whole foods like oats, lentils, beans, flaxseeds, berries, apples and leafy greens. Aim to "eat the rainbow" and include a variety of plant-based foods in your diet to support microbial diversity and regular bowel movements.
6. Get Moving (It Doesn’t Have to Be a Workout)
Physical activity helps stimulate digestion and reduce stress – both important for gut health. Even a daily walk, a bit of stretching or dancing in your kitchen can keep things moving in more ways than one.
7. Cut Back on Ultra-Processed Foods
Highly processed foods are often low in fibre and high in additives, sugar and unhealthy fats – all of which can disrupt the balance of your gut bacteria. You don’t have to be perfect, but try to keep whole, natural foods as the base of your meals.
8. Manage Stress in Simple, Daily Ways
The gut and brain are closely linked. Chronic stress can cause inflammation, disrupt digestion and contribute to issues like IBS. Practices like deep breathing, journalling, gentle yoga or even 5 minutes of stillness can help calm your nervous system and support your gut.
9. Chew Your Food Properly
Sounds obvious, but most of us rush through meals. Chewing thoroughly helps your body start the digestive process properly, allowing nutrients to be absorbed more easily and reducing bloating. Try putting your fork down between bites or eating without distractions.
10. Build a Regular Sleep Routine
Your gut works on a circadian rhythm just like the rest of your body. Poor sleep can throw your digestive system off and affect the health of your microbiome. Aim for 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep each night, and try to keep your bedtime and wake time consistent.
A Healthy Gut, One Habit at a Time
You don’t need a complete lifestyle overhaul to improve your gut health. Start small. Pick one or two habits to focus on, stay consistent and build from there. Your gut will thank you – and so will your energy levels, mood and overall wellbeing.
