Did you know your gut is often called your second brain? 🧠 The two are constantly in conversation via the gut-brain axis, what you eat plays a huge part in how you feel. A balanced gut supports everything from mood and focus to sleep and stress levels. That’s why a nourishing salad can actually help you feel more grounded, not just full.
Start with fibre-rich veggies like rocket, kale and cabbage, they keep things moving (💩), feed your gut bacteria and help regulate blood sugar. Add fermented foods like a spoonful of kimchi, pickled onions or even live yoghurt-based dressing to feed your microbiome. Round it off with healthy fats like avocado or olive oil to support brain function and stabilise mood swings.
When your gut feels happy, your brain is sharper, and that focus is golden in Pilates. From breathwork to balance, clarity makes every move more intentional. So your salad today? It’s not just fuel. It’s part of your self-care routine 🧘♀️💚
