Whole Foods: Digestion Healing Soaked Oats

Oats are a simple whole grain we can begin to add in each day.

Oats contain many healing properties, not only for our gut but also for our overall wellness. Having oats each day will keep you full for longer periods. They are also filled with protein and many nutrients our bodies need. 

Our focus should be adding in more nutrient-dense foods or what I like to call positive additions. This is where we keep our focus on the positives and continue to add in more of the goodness for our bodies.

Why Soak Your Oats?

Naturally, whole-grain oats can be difficult for our bodies to digest. One way we can support our gut and give our body the most nutrients from this food is to soak our oats.

You can easily do this by soaking your oats overnight in an acidic solution. The acidic solution helps to break down the oats, which gives your body the most health benefits.

Support Your Digestion

If your digestion is off and not functioning properly as it should be, what does this mean for your body? You may not be receiving the appropriate nutrients from your food as your body needs each day. Our health is vital to those minerals and nutrients.

Your gut is like the second brain in your body. This makes it always a great starting place for anyone. But let it not be just the place you begin but a place you always remain. Here we can begin healing and promoting full wellness for our whole body. 

Remember…

These recipes are to give you a place to start as when we are switching and changing habits we don’t always fully know what that may look like for us.

During this trial and error phase, you are exploring and finding what works for you. What I share with you here is in no way the exact picture of what healthy looks like but this is what it looks like for me and where I am.

I am always growing and continue to add more positives in one small simple step.

So continue to have fun in the kitchen, keep building that positive relationship with your food, and learn what it does for you and your body. 

I hope that you look at these recipes with an open heart and remember that recipes are just guides; you can create them with your favorite fruits and vegetables that you love.

 Happy cooking <3

Are You Curious How This Can Benefit Your Health?

Reasons Why This Can Help You on Your Wellness Journey

Many of us contend with some form of health issue, which is why we are continuously working toward achieving better health, especially when we feel misaligned or are striving to prevent future problems.

Let’s say you struggle with an illness or have recently been diagnosed with a disease. Perhaps you face challenges with weight management, suffer from constant headaches, or experience issues related to emotional eating, frequent illness, or digestion problems. It’s easy to downplay these concerns, especially when comparing them to others. However, it’s crucial to recognize that unhealthy habits can accumulate and lead to results that we are not happy with.

I want you to understand that all of these matters are significant. None is more important than another, as they all indicate that something is not right within your body. This imbalance can create an environment for potentially harmful pathogens. Therefore, it is important to address these issues with care so that we can move toward a healthier, more balanced state of mind and body.

Nutrition plays a vital role in our overall health and wellness every day. It significantly affects our mental, emotional, and physical well-being.

The way we care for our mind and body is critical. If where you find yourself today is not the outcome you desire, then you have come to the right place. We focus on creating lifestyle changes that allow health and wellness to thrive in our daily lives. By making small, sustainable changes, you can gradually achieve optimal health and wellness and live it out every day.

What life can look like when you begin to apply healthy habits.

As you start embracing habits that are beneficial for your health and wellness, life can become more appealing. Things no longer seem dark, dreary, or overly challenging. Instead, life becomes filled with hope, leading you toward a brighter future.

Mentally, daily life begins to feel lighter and more manageable. Your thoughts won’t feel so burdened when faced with difficulties, allowing you to focus clearly and identify possible solutions.

Physically, your body feels lighter, and you have a renewed desire to move. You experience more energy and enjoy uninterrupted sleep, waking up refreshed and restored. Your stress levels decrease because your mind and heart are centered and grounded in the right places.

Without unrealistic expectations, you can live each day loving yourself—understanding and embracing what that looks like for you in the present moment.
