The Importance of Digestion in a Healthy Lifestyle

Your digestive health is the cornerstone of your overall well-being. A healthy gut ensures your body absorbs the nutrients it needs, supports your immune system, and maintains energy levels.

In this post, we’ll explore why digestion is crucial to your health and share practical tips for supporting your digestive system daily. From dietary habits to doTERRA products like doTERRA PB Restore^®, PB Assist+^®, DigestZen^®, and Peppermint Softgels, you’ll have everything you need to set your body up for success.*

Why Digestion Matters

Digestion is more than breaking down food. It’s the process by which your body converts what you eat into energy and essential nutrients. Poor digestive health can lead to bloating, discomfort, and even systemic issues like low immunity and poor energy levels.

By supporting your gut, you can improve your digestion and promote mental clarity, balanced hormones, and a robust immune response.*

Daily Tips for Supporting Digestive Health

1. Eat a Balanced Diet: You should have a variety of whole foods in your meals, including fiber-rich vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats. These kinds of food provide the nutrients your gut needs to thrive.
2. Stay Hydrated: Water aids in breaking down food and moving waste through your digestive tract. Aim for drinking at least eight glasses a day.
3. Chew Thoroughly: Digestion begins in the mouth. Chewing well reduces the burden on your stomach and improves nutrient absorption.
4. Manage Stress: Stress negatively affects your gut. Practice mindfulness or deep breathing exercises to promote relaxation and gut health.
5. Supplement Wisely: Use doTERRA PB Restore and PB Assist+ to provide your gut with beneficial pre-, pro-, and postbiotics. These beneficial bacteria help restore microbial diversity and balance in your microbiome.*
6. Incorporate Essential Oils: Using DigestZen Digestive Blend and Peppermint Softgels internally is excellent for soothing occasional digestive discomfort and promoting digestive efficiency.*
