To heal a sprained ankle, you stay off of it. Your gut can benefit from a similar approach. When your gut is irritated and inflamed, every meal puts it back to work, so it doesn’t get a real chance to recover. Fasting would give it that break, but it isn’t sustainable. The elemental diet offers a middle path: it rests your digestive system while still meeting your nutritional needs. And research suggests even a short elemental diet reset can make a meaningful difference. |
