Gut health doctor Melbourne share their top environmental tips to optimise your gut health

It is well known that probiotics and the diet can influence the microbial community within the large intestine. But what’s less discussed, is the way that our environment can impact on these little bugs. Narayani Wellness Medical Clinic Melbourne would like to share with you a couple of great ways to improve your gut ecosystem by altering your surrounding environment.

Get involved with an organic garden

There are many microbes that live in the soil that offer benefit to your gut. Most people would be able to spot the difference between a thriving, fertile soil and a dry, depleted one. Great soil is attributed to multiple factors, but one of the biggest factors in the microbial community that lives within. There is so much in the soil beyond what the eye can see! Conventional methods of farming use pesticide and herbicide sprays that kill visible bugs and weeds, but they also do a lot of damage to the bacteria living within the soil. Hence gut health naturopathy Melbourne emphasis organic gardening for exposure to good bugs.

So what’s the relevance of soil to your gut microbiome? Well, it has been suggested that partaking in gardening on a regular basis can improve the microbial community in your gut. But how to get them in? Well, naturopath Melbourne are not suggesting that you eat dirt! These little bugs are clever. Studies have shown that they have the ability to move along skin and mucous membranes to other areas of the body. In this way bugs from the external environment can end up in your gut.

You can get involved in gardening in your own backyard, or if you don’t have a backyard, community gardens can be found all over the world.

Don’t use harsh chemicals in your home

Much the same as chemicals used in farming, chemicals used in the home can kill many bacteria that may in fact offer benefit. Often cleaning products are marketed that they kill 100% of germs which makes them superior, which has stemmed from a belief that all bugs are bad. It is true that certain bacteria are a threat to human health and adequate hygiene practices in the home are necessary to prevent the spread of these bacteria. However, unless someone in the home is immune-compromised, living in a completely sterile environment may not be beneficial to health.

Using harsh cleaning products like bleach in the home not only expose you to chemicals via inhalation and direct contact, but they also make the home environment sterile from any microbes. Gut health doctor Melbourne recommend simple soaps and detergents for us in the home. These safer cleaning products in conjunction with the proper storage and preparation of food, should sufficiently control bugs within the home that have the potential for harm and enable exposure to bugs that are not harmful. 

Are Regular Medicines Deteriorating Your Health? It’s Time to Go the Drugless Way

“You can't afford to get sick, and you can't depend on the present health care system to keep you well. It's up to you to protect and maintain your body's innate capacity for health and healing by making the right choices in how you live.” – Andrew Weil

Our modern medication system continuously delves into focusing on parts and diseases rather than holistic health. Today, the drugs usually work by suppressing the conditions or changing our bodily functions and its underlying symptoms rather than curing them. At times, it may seem effective (for severe pains) but the condition worsens over time if nothing is done to regain your health. Considering this, one should seek for alternative therapies because all you need is to get better in entirety.

Taking the natural route: Getting acquainted with Naturopathy

Melbourne naturopathy is one of the most holistic and reliable drugless disciplines to treat your health condition. Like the word suggests, it is very inclusive of your natural self. It considers food as medicine and the nature as your self-healer. 

Naturopathy caters to your whole body instead of treating only a specific area. The ideal proportion of food in our body is 20% acidic food and 80% alkaline food. Naturopathy tries to seamlessly incorporate proportionate and quality food, therapeutic massages and herbal treatments in your sedentary lifestyle. 

Remedies that go beyond the conventional treatment

Naturopathic physicians (Naturopaths) and doctors aim to find the root cause of the ailment rather than concentrating on treatment of symptoms. Their underlying focus lies in healing all aspects of an individual- physical, mental and spiritual.

To achieve this all-inclusive healing, Naturopaths first ensure change in nutrition and lifestyle. They instill a regime of planned nutritional diet, mind relaxation techniques and regular exercises in our daily lives. Some of them use advanced herbal medicines along with homeopathic dilutions to cater to acute ailments. Often, a naturopath employs advanced acupuncture and massage methods to heal specific areas of the body.
