When digestive health starts to feel out of balance, it can impact wellness in many different ways. People with slow or painful digestion might notice mood changes as the nervous system in the digestive tract puts their brain on full alert, for starters. Then, their skin could start breaking out, their energy levels could dive, and the negative effects cascade from there.
Thankfully, everyone can look to Herbalife Nutrition for the support they need in turning their stomach problems around. Here’s a look at just three Herbalife ingredients people can count on in improving their digestive health.
Fiber
Fiber keeps the digestive tract moving like clockwork in processing all the food and giving the body the nutrients it needs to thrive. But not all fiber is made equal. There are two types: soluble and insoluble – and everyone needs both.
Soluble fiber comes from fruit, vegetables, and grains, like:
- Apples
- Carrots
- Potatoes
- Beans
- Oats
As the digestive tract processes these foods, they dissolve and keep digestion moving at a steady rate. This helps to regulate blood sugar, encourages good bacteria growth, and keeps people feeling fuller for longer, which reduces their calorie intake.
Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, absorbs water from the digestive tract to act as bulky waste. It comes from vegetables and whole grains as well. When enough is consumed daily, it helps push the rest of the material through the digestive tract to improve elimination. This reduces the growth of bad bacteria and helps prevent constipation.
To get both types of fiber, it is important to eat a balanced diet each day. Beyond that, it’s also helpful to use Active Fiber Complex from Herbalife, which provides a 5-gram boost of balanced fiber.
Probiotics
Probiotics promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut, which improves digestive health and keeps harmful bacteria at bay. Although soluble fiber provides a boost of probiotics, it’s not all the digestive tract needs to stay in good health.
It’s also important to get them from fermented foods, like:
- Pickles
- Tempeh
- Yogurt
- Sauerkraut
- Kimchi
- Miso
- Kombucha
Unfortunately, even all that is not enough for systems already overwhelmed by bad bacteria and other issues. In that case, it makes sense to use nutrition products that give an additional dose of probiotics, like Herbalife Simply Probiotic. With purposeful probiotics in the daily wellness routine, the good bacteria get even more support as they work to colonize the gut and get rid of the bad.
Aloe
Aloe has long been used to improve the health of the skin, but it can also help increase the well-being of the digestive tract. This soothing ingredient promotes better digestion while increasing the absorption of key nutrients. Since it has a light, refreshing flavor, it can also encourage people to drink more fluids, which helps improve digestion as well.
There are many aloe products to choose from, too, such as:
- Powdered extract
- Pre-mixed juice
- Liquid concentrate
With so many options, it’s easy to integrate aloe into every day – and everyone can rest assured the quality is top-notch when sourced from Herbalife. Their Herbal Aloe lineup comes in many fantastic flavors, including mandarin, cranberry, and mango. There are also several different formulas to give everybody a chance to fine-tune their wellness routine and get their gut health in check.
