Fall is routine season. Schedules fill up, travel picks up, and comfort food comes back. It's also when many of us notice our digestion feels a little off. Gut health has moved from buzzword to foundation, and the trend is toward simple, consistent habits rather than a cabinet full of products. Here are five to start with.
1. Eat a variety of plants
Fiber feeds the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Aim for variety: oats, beans, apples, squash, leafy greens and other fall produce.
2. Add a fermented food
Yogurt, kefir, kimchi and sauerkraut are easy places to start. Begin with small portions and see how you feel.
3. Walk after meals and stay hydrated
Gentle movement and enough water go a long way for digestive comfort, especially alongside a fiber-rich diet.
4. Protect your sleep and manage stress
Your gut and brain are in constant conversation. Consistent sleep and a few minutes of daily downtime can make a noticeable difference in how you feel.
5. Consider a daily probiotic
If you'd like extra support, Cotidelle's Advanced Women's Probiotic is formulated with Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei and L. paracasei to support digestive wellness, regularity, and healthy gut and vaginal flora.* Whichever probiotic you choose, look for named strains and clear labeling, and take it consistently for a few weeks before judging how it works for you.
A probiotic works best alongside a varied diet, not instead of one. And as the holidays get closer, our Holiday Survival Kit covers what else to pack for winter.
