Gut health is a big topic, but check out this nugget of inspiration with a top tip which is important for us all to remember. Other things to consider are:

• Stress – your gut and brain are connected, so stress can have a huge impact on how your bowel functions.

• Fizzy drinks, caffeine and alcohol - these can all impact how things flow.

• We aren’t designed to eat so much of the highly processed food that exists in the western world today - minimally processed, whole foods are best to be the base of your meals and snacks.
