A Healthy Life is Within Reach
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight includes healthy eating, physical activity, optimal sleep, and stress reduction. There are several other factors may also affect weight gain.
Healthy eating features a variety of healthy foods. Fad diets may promise fast results, but such diets limit your nutritional intake, can be unhealthy, and tend to fail in the long run.
Reset Your digestive System
According to Ellen Michal, a registered dietitian at Duke Raleigh’s Lifestyle and Disease Management Center, research shows that the bacteria living in our intestinal tract could have more influence on our health than we realize.
Research has linked changes in the intestinal bacteria with autoimmune diseases, mental illnesses, and more.
Studies have even shown that the bacteria in our bellies may be controlling which foods we crave. "your craving for potato chips may not be all in your head after all"
Our diet and other factors which including stress and antibiotic use, affects the type of our bacteria that is in the intestinal tract. Most researchers agree that a diet of lots of fiber helps promote a more healthy gut microbiome
