Why Morning Cleanse Bowl
This bowl is more than just a healthy breakfast—it’s a natural remedy for gut health, bloating, sluggish digestion, and morning fatigue. Let’s explore why.
The Power of Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk is a gentle, plant-based fiber made from the husks of the Plantago ovata seed. Also, it’s widely used in natural wellness circles to support digestion and detoxification.
- Rich in Soluble Fiber: Psyllium forms a gel-like substance in the gut, helping to sweep waste and toxins from the digestive tract.
- Supports Regularity: Especially helpful for those struggling with constipation or slow digestion.
- Balances Blood Sugar: Slows digestion of carbohydrates, preventing spikes and crashes.
- Creates a Feeling of Fullness: Which can help manage appetite naturally.
Flaxseeds: Tiny Seeds, Big Benefits
Flaxseeds are small but mighty. Just a spoonful provides a significant amount of plant-based omega-3s, lignans, and fiber.
- Excellent Source of Insoluble and Soluble Fiber
- Rich in Omega-3s: Great for brain and skin health.
- Lignans for Hormonal Balance: Helpful especially for women’s wellness.
- Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces bloating and soothes the digestive tract.
Together, psyllium and flax create a balanced fiber profile that gently cleanses the gut, improves nutrient absorption, and supports daily detox.
