Leaky Gut: What it is and How to Know if you Have One

The term "leaky gut" has been thrown around a lot lately.

Do you think you may have one? How do you know? And if you do, what can you do about it?

Leaky gut can be linked to many different conditions; especially ones related to the gut and chronic inflammation. While there may not be one definitive test to diagnose a leaky gut just yet, there are some known dietary and lifestyle factors that can make it better or worse.

In this week’s blog post, I’ll dive into those factors right after telling you a bit about what it is, how it occurs, and what some of the common symptoms are.

Plus, you’re in for a treat this week. I’m also sharing one of my favourite chicken broth recipes that is slow-cooked and oh so comforting!

9 Key Foods that Reduce Inflammation
9 Key Foods that Reduce Inflammation

Inflammation. It’s not just for health headlines; It’s a fact.

Scientists are measuring levels of inflammation in our bodies and finding that it can be devastating for our health. This is especially true when it becomes chronic, but even low levels of inflammation on a chronic basis can create problems and lead to disease.

Inflammation is often thought of as the root cause of all disease. This makes sense when you consider that it has been closely linked to obesity, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes - just to name a few.

As I’ve discussed often, inflammation is a vital part of our immune system's response to injury or infection. It’s our body's way of triggering the immune system to spring to action to repair damaged cells or tissues and defend our body against foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria.

Without inflammation, wounds may become septic and infections deadly. But if the inflammatory process continues for too long, or if inflammation occurs in places where it’s not needed, it can become a problem anywhere in our body or brain.

Luckily, a healthy diet and lifestyle can help keep inflammation under control.

How to Hack a Cold Naturally

Learn 3 easy steps to hack your way through cold and flu season this winter. The first is…

Vitamin C is an antioxidant that quenches free radicals and speeds wound healing, in addition to being necessary for collagen formation.

When we start to feel a cold or flu coming on, vitamin C will give our virus-fighting immune system a boost. It is found in citrus fruits like grapefruit, lemons, mangos, papayas, oranges, and pineapples, as well as in green vegetables like asparagus, avocados, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collards, and kale.

In supplement form, a buffered vitamin C is unlikely to cause stomach upset, while Ester-C is easily absorbed. In either form, vitamin C helps other antioxidants keep their potency and helps their absorption in the body.
