Gut Health Tips: How & Why To Make A Mono Meal For Better Digestion

What exactly is a mono meal and why is it beneficial? Very good question - one which can be answered by taking a step back in time. You see our ancestors, for thousands of years, wouldn’t have had access to the diverse array of delicious foods that we have at our finger tips on a daily basis.

It would’ve been more of a scenario like… You found a berry bush at its’ prime ripeness!  Ancestrally we would’ve understood that with no way to preserve such bounty, we’d have to eat as much as we could right then and there. Our bodies and brains are much better adapted to this because it’s how we humans have eaten for the majority of our time on this earth.

A mono meal is just a fancy way of saying, fill yourself up on a meal that consists of ONE thing. Eat a big bowl of just watermelon, eat four bananas, a big bowl of steamed sweet potato etc.

The benefits of mono meals are mainly to do with digestive health. They remove the burden of your digestive system having to differentiate from an array of different substances which all require different enzymes to break them down.

When I’m feeling bogged down and low energy I try to do a day or two of mono meals. This gives me a digestive reset and boosts my energy without stimulants.

The way we eat doesn’t always make sense. Combining starches, proteins, fats and sugars is bound to create a digestive burden which shows up as discomfort, gas and other pesky digestive issues.

When you take a break from complex meals, your organs have a chance to rejuvenate. Detoxification naturally happens at this point and you might find that when you go back to eating as usual, you digest your food better and have more energy.

If you’re seriously interested in getting healthy, revitalising your digestion and boosting your energy then check out my new comprehensive program ‘Revitalise, Energise & Drop a Size’, details HERE.  In the program you receive a ton of delicious satisfying recipes as well as strategies that will help rebuild your intestinal flora.
