Want to revitalize your well-being?
Have you noticed any digestive discomforts like bloating or a feeling of heaviness lately? Perhaps you’re feeling an imbalance that’s affecting your skin or daily energy?
Here is YOUR SOLUTION , recommended by my friend Jolana @lazybitch.la who has endured over 15 years of digestive issues. Discover the FODMAP diet!
Explore with us a lifestyle focused on intestinal well-being that could bring you comfort and vitality in your daily life. 🌟
What is a FODMAP diet?
The FODMAP diet focuses on reducing the types of carbohydrates that are hard to digest and can cause digestive issues like bloating, gas, and pain. FODMAP stands for “Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols,” which are short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed by the gut, potentially causing irritation and discomfort.
The golden rule: Read the label on everything you eat. Then, embark on a two-month detox focusing only on the foods on this list to reduce inflammation and restore your gut health. It’s best to start now before symptoms worsen. “Chronic inflammation can lead to cancer.” - Jolana
