If you're looking to optimize your gut health, digestion, and mental clarity, you can start by fostering gut strength with Gutbiome6, which will help combat environmental toxins used to grow crops found in the most widely available foods. You can also consider reducing your intake of these specific foods.

Artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame, saccharin, and sucralose, may have zero calories, but come into contact with the microflora in the gut, and can negatively change its environment. Research has shown this alteration in the microbiome can lead to conditions like glucose intolerance.

Processed and refined foods that lack fiber, are loaded with sugars, salts, artificial sweeteners, and preservatives. Often consuming hyper-palatable foods that come with these negative ingredients can feed the bad bugs in your system.

Alcohol in moderation is generally considered okay for consumption, which means one drink per day for women, and up to two drinks per day for men, but excessive alcohol consumption can lead to an imbalance of gut bacteria in your microbiome. Known as dysbiosis, this can lead to acid reflux, anxiety, acne, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, and more.

Fried foods, which often use highly processed oil, are high in saturated fats and hard on your digestive system, which can lead to diarrhea, gas, and stomach pain. Enjoy fried foods as an occasional treat, or consider swapping out a fried side item for a less processed vegetable.
