I have just been lucky enough to spend a week at ‘Viva Mayr’ in Austria. I was working but I did get to sample their amazing Health Spa. The meals we were served were delicious, incredibly healthy and looked just gorgeous.
Viva Mayr treats many people with complex health conditions and also helps people with weight loss. Over the next few weeks I’m going to share some of these amazing health tips with you.
The first tip is so simple. Take time for your meals and chew chew chew. Chewing properly sets off the whole digestive process, it stimulates your taste buds, the food tastes better and you become more satisfied with less and stomach acid production is stimulated, this is necessary to begin the breakdown of protein. Chewing also increases the surface area of the food we eat meaning the digestive enzymes further down don’t have to work so hard.
So slow down enjoy your meals and chew thoroughly to help improve your digestive health
Anxiety and gut health are closely linked through the gut–brain axis. Research suggests the gut microbiome, neurotransmitters and genetics may influence stress responses and emotional well-being. Exploring gut microbiome and nervous system insights can help build a more personalised understanding of anxiety.
Many people experience symptoms that seem to come and go without a clear cause, such as headaches, digestive discomfort, flushing after alcohol, or increased reactivity around the menstrual cycle. It’s common to question whether food, stress, hormones, or something else is to blame. In some cases, the answer may lie with histamine intolerance.
Strange symptoms can puzzle anyone. Your body might show signs ranging from headaches and skin rashes to digestive problems and anxiety. Doctors sometimes struggle to explain these mysterious health issues that affect millions of people worldwide.
The vagina has its own ecosystem of beneficial bacteria, yeasts and viruses that support daily comfort and overall wellbeing. When this balance is disrupted, problems such as recurrent thrush, BV, irritation or discomfort can arise.
