Sofia Stoeckmann
Fast food, lack of sleep, everyday stress... Our body deserves a loving "rest & reset" from time to time so that we can feel good for a long time!
It is not for nothing that the Gut is also known as the "seat of health". It houses a large part of our immune system and thus influences not only our health, but also our mood and mental well-being. mental well-being. It influences our thoughts and experiences via the Gut.
Our appearance also reflects our inner life: if our intestinal flora is unbalanced, we not only notice this in the form of digestive problems, intolerances and fluctuating energy levels; our skin also reacts with impurities or even inflammation. And that's not all: a healthy Gut is a prerequisite for our metabolism. If your metabolism is slow, the processes in your body run on a low flame and you burn fewer calories.
Long story short: the better your Gut works, the healthier and fitter you feel - that's a promise! The 5 basics first:
