Reducing your alcohol intake is one of the best ways to improve your gut health

Here’s why - your gut has a powerhouse working for it known as your gut microbiome. The gut microbiome assists with digesting food, supporting your immune health + processing alcohol 🧫

When you drink, the gut microbiome works to help your body metabolise the alcohol. When too much is consumed, this can disrupt the good bacteria + introduce less beneficial bacteria to the gut ecosystem

This can cause diarrhoea, constipation, bloating and/or acid reflux

Setting small goals such as alcohol free days or reducing the number of standard drinks you have per occasion can help to minimise disruption to the gut microbiome + improve your overall gut health
