🔥 FOOD AS MEDICINE: HELP HEAL GASTRITIS NATURALLY 🔥

Hey MyLera fam 👋—today we're diving into a wellness truth that deserves the spotlight: gastritis isn't just a stomach issue—it’s a whole-body signal. And in true MyLera style, we’re flipping the script with food-first healing.

🌿 What Is Gastritis, Really?

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, and it can be triggered by stress, meds, infections, or poor eating habits. Symptoms? Burning pain, bloating, nausea—the gut crying out for help.

But here’s where it gets powerful: your plate can be your pharmacy.

🥑 Healing Foods That Speak to Your Gut

We’re not just recommending food—we’re sharing nature’s finest anti-inflammatory magic:

- 🧄 Ginger: Soothes irritation, fights inflammation, supports digestion

- 🥬 Leafy greens (like spinach & kale): Packed with antioxidants, fiber, and folate

- 🥥 Coconut water: Hydrates and calms stomach acid

- 🍌 Bananas: Gentle, alkaline, and easy on the stomach lining

- 🫐 Blueberries: High in polyphenols that help reduce gut inflammation

🚫 Foods to Rethink

Let’s be real—some fan favorites are gut bullies when gastritis flares up:

- 🔥 Spicy foods: Can aggravate an already sensitive stomach

- ☕ Caffeine: Increases acid production (sorry, coffee lovers!)

- 🍟 Fried and processed snacks: Hard to digest and pro-inflammatory

💡 Quick Lifestyle Tweaks

- 🧘‍♀️ Chew your food slowly (seriously—don’t rush!)

- 🧠 Practice mindfulness around eating (Your mood affects your digestion!)

- 🫗 Stay hydrated—but not during meals, it can dilute digestive enzymes

At MyLera, we believe healing is holistic—food, mindfulness, movement, and intention. Drop a comment if you’ve tried any of these strategies, or share your go-to remedy below. Let’s crowdsource some gut-healing wisdom 👇
