SPORT AND GUT HEALTH

Sport and gut health: A winning duo for those 45 and older!

Did you know?
Exercise can positively influence your gut microbiome 🏃‍♀.
Your microbiome plays an essential role in digestion, nutrient absorption, and protecting your gut from pathogens.
But that's not all—it also impacts your mood and overall well-being.

Why is this important after age 45?
As you age, the balance of your microbiome can be weakened by hormonal changes, stress, or a sedentary lifestyle.
However, it’s proven that regular and appropriate physical activity can:

✅ Enhance bacterial diversity, crucial for healthy digestion.
✅ Boost immunity by promoting “good bacteria.”
✅ Improve metabolism, providing sustained energy for your daily life.

A word of caution:
Overly intense or irregular workouts can have the opposite effect, disrupting this delicate balance.

Tips for a healthy microbiome:
⿡ Stay active regularly: 30 minutes of brisk walking or yoga is enough.
⿢ Incorporate probiotics (like fermented yogurt) and prebiotics (fiber) into your meals.
⿣ Manage stress with relaxation or meditation sessions.

In conclusion:
Moving, eating better, and caring for your well-being are the keys to optimal gut health!
