Digestion & Stomach

How do your gut and liver work together?

Every day, your digestive system breaks down food and absorbs the nutrients your body needs. Your liver filters what you eat and drink and turns waste into forms your body can remove, mostly through your gut and kidneys.

Everyday habits like a low-fiber diet, alcohol, poor sleep and stress can make that work harder. A simple, steady daily routine helps your body do what it's designed to do.

What's a simple daily gut routine?

Five habits, backed by research:

1. Eat 25–30 g of fiber a day. Beans, oats, berries and whole grains are easy wins. (The Lancet, 2019)
2. Eat 30 different plants a week. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, herbs and spices all count. (American Gut Project, 2018)
3. Add a fermented food every day, like yogurt, kefir, kimchi or sauerkraut. (Stanford University, 2021)
4. Increase fiber slowly and drink plenty of water with it.
5. Stay consistent. Your gut responds to what you do every day, so keep your routine, and your supplements, stocked.

Supplements like Intestinal Restore are designed to complement a healthy routine, not replace it.
