Embrace Midlife Wellness: The Gut-Health Revolution with MPowder

Understanding Midlife Gut Health

Recent research highlights the importance of the gut in maintaining overall health, especially during midlife. By adopting a whole-body and mind approach, we can stay nourished and happy. However, to make the most of these insights, we must first unlearn

some outdated dietary beliefs.

Many of us grew up in an era that demonised fats, praised sugar-free options and encouraged the avoidance of carbs. Such rules have damaged our guts and hindered optimal body function. Midlife nourishment should focus on whole foods and self-care,

not punishment.

The 6 Principles for Gut Health

Here are six principles to help you achieve better gut health during midlife:

1. Start Your Day Right: The PFF Breakfast Protocol - Begin your day with a breakfast rich in Protein, (good) Fat, and Fibre (PFF). This combination provides the essential nutrients your body needs. Think of sourdough toast with avocado and salmon, an omelette cooked in extra virgin olive oil with a side salad, or chia pudding with nut butter, blueberries, walnuts, flaxseeds, and a spoonful of kefir.

2. Eat Balanced Meals - Ensure your meals contain good sources of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates. Protein and healthy fats are crucial for stabilising blood sugar. Include foods like eggs, wild oily fish, lean meat, pulses, nuts, seeds, and tofu. Healthy fats such as extra virgin olive oil, avocados, and various nuts and seeds bring joy and nourishment to your plate.

3. Avoid Snacking Between Meals - If you’re eating three balanced meals a day, you’re less likely to crave snacks. If cravings persist, consider increasing your protein and healthy fat intake. Allowing your body to experience micro-fasting periods of 4-5 hours between meals can promote optimal health.

4. Enjoy a Variety of Foods - Food should be a pleasure, not just fuel. Appreciate the food you eat by taking time to present it well and enjoy the eating experience. Chewing each bite consciously not only enhances the enjoyment but also aids in

better nutrient absorption.

5. Reduce Ultra Processed Foods - In midlife, our metabolic rate and gut function are affected by hormonal changes. Ultra processed foods can spike blood sugar and create craving cycles. Instead, it may be beneficial to prioritise prebiotic foods

to naturally feed your gut microbiota. Foods like garlic, onions, leeks, cooked and cooled rice, overnight oats, and green bananas are excellent choices.

6. Harness the Power of Botanicals - Herbs can play a significant role in restoring balance to our bodies. Adaptogens like Ashwagandha, found in MPowder Meno-Boost, help reduce cortisol and support the stress response. Moringa, present in MPowder Peri-Boost, offers numerous health benefits, including improved blood sugar levels and increased haemoglobin. Adding fresh ginger and Ceylon

cinnamon to your diet can further support blood sugar balance and digestion.
