Can spending time in nature help your gut health?
As a gut health dietitian I love talking about the way food can impact our gut health. I also really love acknowledging some of the other ways we can impact our gut health too. Finding ways to manage the ever-present stressors that come with day-to-day life is another tool we have in the gut health toolkit.
For me, interacting with nature is super helpful for managing my daily life stress. Getting sunshine on my skin, being by water and being amongst trees are all big hits for my nervous system 😁
