Your gut deserves to receive some love! If your daily diet includes fast food, pizza, potato crisps, and other junk food, not only will your stomach hurt, but your brain may become subject to inflammation, which could lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health-related issues. The interconnectedness between your gut and your brain is worth keeping in mind, a healthier diet will not only help you to look and feel better, but your mind will be happy too!
You can show your gut, and ultimately your brain, some TLC with Supercharged Food Golden Gut Powder. This powder contains a blend of organic diatomaceous earth, naturally de-bittered organic turmeric, certified organic ginger, certified organic cinnamon and certified organic black pepper.
Turmeric contains a plethora of properties, which has been used in Ayurvedic medicine (India) for a while, and the Western physicians are coming to learn about the healing properties of turmeric. Turmeric can help to relieve pain, better your liver, and, of course, its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties work together to smoothen the digestive process.
Ginger is commonly known for its ability to soothe an upset stomach. Ginger contains gingerol which boasts of inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Interestingly enough, ginger can be used to help those suffering from chronic indigestion. One study analysed 24 healthy people, and the results showed that taking 1.2 grams of ginger powder before a meal may help to speed up how quickly the stomach can empty itself by 50%.
Like ginger and turmeric, cinnamon is also rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Cinnamon may help to regulate insulin, which is one of the main hormones that helps to balance metabolism. The favourite spice may play a role in combating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Reportedly, cinnamon can help to prevent a protein called tau from increasing in the brain, which is one of the signs of Alzheimer’s.
You can find black pepper at almost every restaurant table or by the stove in many kitchens - it is undeniably a popular spice. However, black pepper contains a variety of properties. The well-known spice can aid weight loss, relieve symptoms of depression, and a teaspoon of honey with black pepper can help to heal a cold or a cough. Black pepper contains piperine, a property which allows you to ingest a higher amount of protein due to its ability to produce more hydrochloric acid.
