Liz Earle Good Gut Box
The whole area of gut health is fascinating – but also quite bamboozling. Prebiotics, probiotics, fermentation... It's a whole new language.
Liz Earle, our longstanding friend (it's not possible to call her 'old', looking as radiantly fab as she does!) has done a great job of explaining it all in her excellent book, The Good Gut Guide. There are all sorts of mind and body challenges that can be improved by getting our digestion back on track, and this offers a brilliant, easy six-week programme to follow.
But now she's taken her focus on gut wellness a stage further, putting together a brilliant 'starter kit' called 'The Good Gut Box', in partnership with Freshly Fermented. In it, you'll find (precise quantities on her website):
• Organic Milk Kefir Grains
• Organic Water Kefir Grains
• Organic Kombucha Scoby + 100ml starter tea
• Organic Turmeric
• Organic Chunmee Green Tea
• Organic Certified Cane Sugar
• Organic Bulgarian Yoghurt Starter or Short Strain Villi Yoghurt Starter if you don’t have a yoghurt makert have a yoghurt maker
• Crème Fraîche starter
• 3 x Liz Earle Wellbeing gut health recipe cards
Like our friend, we've long understood the vital importance of gut health – and are pleased that it's now being recognised as a 'second brain' (some even consider it to be the first brain). So 'gut feelings' for things aren't just hunches; they ARE that brain, telling you something.
We've certainly got a gut feeling that this box will do rather well.
