Gut health is determined by the levels of gut bacteria present. The healthier bacteria present the<br />

better. When unhealthy bacteria start to unsettle, this result in gut dysbiosis.<br />

This simply means that too much bad bacteria are present in the gut. It can include yeast <strong>and</strong><br />

parasites <strong>and</strong> will cause all the symptoms discussed above.<br />

As you can see it is plainly obvious why conditions like depression <strong>and</strong> mental health issues are on<br />

the rise. Western diets have become predominantly focused on processed foods <strong>and</strong> junk. The two<br />

are scientifically linked <strong>and</strong> proven. This is just fact. Results showing improvement in mental health<br />

by simply fixing people diets <strong>and</strong> fitness are profoundly strong <strong>and</strong> significantly accurate including<br />

the reverse effects of type two diabetes.<br />

Nowadays you can get professional help <strong>and</strong> testing carried out by labs all over the country.<br />

However by starting to eat healthily, increasing fibre, nutrients <strong>and</strong> minerals in your diet you will<br />

start to see profound results in general wellbeing, energy levels <strong>and</strong> mindset.<br />

A great way to kick-start the gut is to spend a few days introducing smoothies made from organic<br />

fruits <strong>and</strong> vegetables into your diet, reducing carbs from things like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes,<br />

cakes, sweets <strong>and</strong> any other sugary treat <strong>and</strong> making sure your intake of water is sufficient. Eat<br />

organic meats <strong>and</strong> keep away from all dairy products for 3 – 5 days. There are some great companies<br />

out there, one being Revive in 5 by founder Adam Light that can guide you through a five-day<br />

cleanse. This usually gives the digestive system a break, allowing it to start digesting <strong>and</strong> absorbing<br />

food correctly. When you revert to normal dieting make sure you are eating healthily <strong>and</strong> efficiently<br />

whilst following many of the steps outlined in this <strong>book</strong>let <strong>and</strong> you will start to feel far healthier.<br />

Also, including supplements like probiotics into your diet will ensure you are getting sufficient<br />

healthy bacteria daily. However, there are many great supplements out there to help your gut.<br />

So, be aware of the health dangers <strong>and</strong> the negative effects that processed foods can have on your<br />

wellbeing. The gut, as I’ve stated, is like the second brain. It warns you when something is wrong.<br />

Start listening to your body <strong>and</strong> begin adjusting your diet to keep it healthy.<br />
