Where are my Dark Chocolate lovers at?! ✨🍫 Need to win a debate for why Dark Chocolate is better than Milk Chocolate? Or, do you need another reason to convince your friends/family to switch over to the dark side (of chocolate, I mean)? ✅ Then, let them know about all the benefits that Dark Chocolate provides for gut health! 🍫🌱🍫 Dark Chocolate can feed your gut bacteria because it contains something called Polyphenols. Polyphenols are a class of plant compounds that are known to improve digestion, brain health, and protect against heart disease💚 💚 In fact, the higher the percentage of cacao in chocolate, the greater amount of polyphenols present. Just remember to avoid chocolate that is high in sugar, because that can alter the gut benefits of cacao. So, now you can boast about your love for Dark Chocolate all you want, because you're getting more of the gut benefits than your "Milk Chocolate-loving" friends! Go ahead, enjoy a guilt-free treat that is both delicious and beneficial since it not only promotes good gut bacteria, but also reduces inflammation and boosts immune function! 🌱🍫 #GoodGutDietitian #GutHealth #Chocolate #ChocolateLover #DarkChocolateLover #HealthyIndulgence #FunFact #HealthyLiving #HealthyGut #AntiInflammatory #WellnessWarrior #HealthyEatingTips #CleanEatingMadeSimple #cleaneating #healthy #dietitian #nutritionist #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #diet #weightloss #eatclean #plantbased #nutrition #wellness #intuitiveeating #healthcoach #antiinflammatorydiet #chocolate

💩Although healthy bowel movements are very important for overall health and good gut health, pooping more doesn't mean that you will lose more weight or fat from your body. 💩The reason why there is a correlation between regular bowel movements and losing weight is that most healthful and helpful weight loss diets will increase your intake of healthy, fiber-rich foods. 💩High fiber foods will allow you to have regular, healthy bowel movements, which will in turn, flush out any backed up stool that may be causing gas, bloating, inflammation, or toxins in your body. 💩Certain kinds of fiber also help you to feed your good gut bacteria that in turns produces more Short Chain Fatty Acids or Butyrate, that actually helps to heal gut lining and also helps to improve insulin sensitivity, which in turn helps you to lose weight. 💩Getting rid of any backed-up stool will help you feel more energized throughout the day, so you can exercise and eat right to help you in your weight loss journey. 💩Want to know more about gut health and its role in helping you shed those extra pounds?

✨️3 Oils that you absolutely need to avoid starting now are: soybean oil, corn oil, and canola oil. ✨️ All of these oils are genetically modified, can increase inflammation, and may cause leaky gut. Swap them for healthier options like: 🥑Avocado Oil: rich in healthy fats, reduces cholesterol, improves heart health, and enhances the absorption of nutrients. Ideal for pan-frying, roasting, barbecuing, and baking. 🫐Olive Oil: rich in healthy fats, has lots of antioxidants, strong anti-inflammatory properties, and does not contribute to weight gain and obesity. Ideal for salad dressings, cooking, and pan-sautéing. ✨️Flaxseed Oil: high in omega-3 fatty acids (great for reducing inflammation), has potential benefits to heart health, may aid in treating irregular bowel movements, and can improve skin health. Ideal for salad dressings, dips, and sauces. ✨️Clarified Butter (Ghee): boosts the intake of vitamin A from foods which is great for skin, eyes, and immune function. Ideal for cooking, sautéing, and using on breads like butter. Also have some amount of CLA that may help to burn body fat. In addition clarified butter or ghee can also help to produce SCFA, butyrate that has gut healing properties. ✨️Coconut butter can also be used in moderation. It is high in medium chain triglycerides and lauric acid that can help in better absorption of vitamins, has antimicrobial properties, improves immunity and boosts metabolism. **Although there are a ton of benefits associated with these healthy oils, it is important to note that they should be used in moderation to reap their health benefits.🍽 Be sure to check out the links in the bio and join the waitlist to start your gut-healing and weight loss journey today! #goodgutdietitian #weightlosstips #weightloss #weightlossgoals #weightlossdiet #nutritiontips #guthealth #digestion #digestivehealth #microbiome #gutmicrobiome #leakygut #HealthyGut #GutHealing #Probiotics #Prebiotics #GutHealthJ

🔬 Your gut microbiome, a complex community of microorganisms in your digestive tract, plays a crucial role in your health. Here's a deeper dive into the scientific impact of three factors that can disrupt it: 1️⃣ Vaginal vs. C-section delivery: During a vaginal birth, newborns are exposed to maternal vaginal microbes, seeding their gut with beneficial bacteria. Conversely, C-section babies may miss out on this initial microbial exposure, potentially affecting their gut microbiome development. 2️⃣ Antibiotics: Antibiotics target harmful bacteria, but they can also indiscriminately affect beneficial bacteria in your gut. This disruption can lead to a decrease in microbial diversity, potentially opening the door to opportunistic pathogens and digestive issues. 3️⃣ High sugar and refined carbohydrates: Diets rich in sugar and refined carbs provide easily digestible energy for certain gut bacteria, leading to an overgrowth of potentially harmful species. This imbalance can trigger inflammation and contribute to conditions like obesity and metabolic syndrome. 👉DONT FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR FREE MASTERCLASS COMING UP ON APRIL 30TH - link in bio By understanding these scientific mechanisms, we can make informed choices to support a healthy gut microbiome and overall well-being. 🧬 💡 #ScienceBehindGutHealth #MicrobiomeResearch #HealthScience #guthealth #goodgutdietitian #weightloss #guthealing #gutbacteria #weightlossdiet #weightloss #GutHealth
