Are you ready to simplify and enhance your wellness routine? Wellness isn’t about complicated trends or rigid routines - it’s about bringing balance, mindfulness and consistent habits into your day. What is a wellness habit? You may ask. They include choices to enhance your physical and mental health to achieve optimal health and wellness. This summer, prioritise daily habits helping you to achieve that inner beauty glow. Take it back to basics with these simple, effective tips and wellness products from The Beauty Chef to help you feel your best from the inside out. 

1. How To Improve Gut Health

We don’t often talk about it, but having regular, healthy bowel movements is a key indicator of your gut health and overall wellbeing. Feeling irregular? Try upping your water and fibre intake, or adding a clean beauty supplement like The Beauty Chef The Perfect Poo into your routine. This advanced fibre-rich blend supports regular bowel movements, normal poo consistency and microbial diversity. 

2. Reset, Feed & Nourish Your Gut

Your gut is the foundation of your overall health and feeding it with adequate nutrients is key. A greater diversity of gut microbiota directly correlates with good health, so ensuring you are eating a diverse range of foods and feeding all the good guys that reside in your gut is essential for optimal digestion. Start by making fibre a priority in your diet. Unfortunately, many of us fall short of the recommended 25 grams per day. Fibre keeps you feeling satisfied, supports the beneficial bacteria in your gut, helps to balance blood sugar, and promotes optimum digestion. To ensure you’re getting a balanced intake of three key types of fibre (soluble, insoluble and resistant starch), try to eat a variety of wholegrains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables throughout your week. Simple changes such as making the switch to wholemeal or multigrain breads and brown rice, including healthy snacks such as nuts and fruits or even adding an extra vegetable at every evening meal can help to ensure you meet the required intake. 

3. How Much Water To Drink A Day

Staying hydrated sounds so simple, but it’s one of the most impactful steps you can take. From boosting energy and focus to supporting glowing skin and maintaining hormonal balance, proper hydration is an essential component of feeling your best. Water is also vital to overall health as it plays a key role in many bodily functions that keep you healthy. Aim for 2 litres of water daily - and don’t forget you can also stay hydrated with herbal teas and water-rich foods like cucumber and watermelon. Another delicious way to stay hydrated and quench thirsty skin is with The Beauty Chef Hydration Boost. A coconut flavoured hydration supplement with Hyaluronic Acid to replenish lacklustre skin from within. 

4. Ways To Eat The Rainbow

There’s a reason “eat the rainbow” is a timeless piece of advice: the more colourful the fruit or vegetable, the larger its nutritional punch. Incorporating a diverse range of colourful fruits, vegetables, and plant-based foods will provide your body with a broad spectrum of gut-loving nutrients and antioxidants to feed your beneficial bacteria. Each different hue offers its own benefits, so the more variety, the better. The Beauty Chef Daily Supergreens Inner Beauty Support is a great way to ensure you’re getting enough green goodness in your diet to support the body’s natural cleaning process. This superfood supplement combines supernutrients with pre and postbiotics, making it the perfect daily addition for digestive wellbeing. Simply add to your favourite drink or a glass of water for a delicious apple flavour. 

5. Fermented Foods For Gut Health

Fermented foods are a powerhouse for gut health and should be a staple in your wellness routine. They are teeming with beneficial bacteria to help nourish and feed the good microbes in your gut. Stock up on fermented foods such as natural yoghurts, kimchi, kefir, kombucha, and skin foods such as The Beauty Chef Glow Inner Beauty Essential Supercharged Formula or The Beauty Chef Glow Ageless Powder. A healthy gut not only does wonders for digestion, but also benefits everything from your skin and outer beauty to your immunity and energy levels, which is why these fermented superpowders that contain many vitamins and minerals, are great for overall health. From Biotin to Vitamin C & B3, Zinc, pre and probiotics, and Provitamin A, these formulas support collagen synthesis and provide a glow from the inside out.

6. How To Improve Sleep Quality

Getting a good night’s sleep is the ultimate act of self-care. It allows your body to recharge, your mind to reset, and your hormones and digestion to remain in balance. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of unbroken rest each night. Sleeping less than the recommended amount is extremely common as our busy lives can get in the way. However, implementing small habits to improve your night routine can tremendously improve the quality of your sleep. Start by staying off your phone at least an hour before bed, keep your bedroom temperature cool and dark, and try going to bed and waking up at consistent times. This will support your circadian rhythm; helping you to feel and function at your best throughout your day. 

Keeping It Simple To Build Daily Habits

Boosting your day-to-day wellbeing doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire lifestyle. Start by incorporating simple, realistic steps - like eating nutrient-rich, diverse foods, staying hydrated, sleeping well, and supporting your gut. With these small habits, you’ll be well on your way to improving your health and wellness in no time. Consistency is key, so focus on habits that work for you and your lifestyle while making you feel good to ensure you can maintain a routine in the long run.
