Bowel Health: 7 Simple Tips for a Happier Digestive System

Boost your bowel health with seven simple, practical steps you can start today. By making small, daily choices—like adding a variety of fiber, staying hydrated, moving after meals, and keeping regular meal times—you can support a lighter, more comfortable gut and a happier digestive system. When your bowel health improves, you’re more likely to experience steadier energy, less bloating, and a more predictable daily rhythm. Behind the scenes, InnerBuddies offers a white-label Gut Health Operating System that powers gut microbiome testing products for companies and consumers alike. The platform is modular and data-rich, featuring a Gut Microbiome Health Index (0-100) developed under an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia, detailed bacterial abundances—and a top 40 lineup showing how you compare to a healthy cohort—and a comprehensive map of bacterial functions with positive or negative labels. It also provides Target Group analysis for niches such as Healthy Aging, Endurance Sport, and Skin & Hair Health, plus personalized nutrition and probiotic/prebiotic recommendations.
