Is Fasting Helpful for Gut Healing?
Fasting has become very popular—whether it’s juice fasts, water fasts, or 18-hour intermittent fasts. Many people promote fasting as a way to reset the gut, but when it comes to true healing, fasting may actually work against us.Here’s why: when our gut bacteria are left “hungry” for too long, they can start eating away at the mucosal lining of the intestines. This mucosal layer is our gut’s natural protection, and once it’s compromised, it can lead to a condition called leaky gut, where bacteria and toxins can pass into the bloodstream, causing inflammation and a host of symptoms.Instead of fasting, a balanced, nutrient-rich diet provides the gut with everything it needs to support healing. Feeding our gut with a variety of healthy foods helps to keep the good bacteria thriving and the gut lining strong, reducing inflammation naturally.If you’re trying to heal your gut, consider focusing on nourishing, anti-inflammatory foods rather than prolonged fasting. Your gut will thank you! You can reach out for help
