Hey Earth mamas (and future mamas!),
Earthyvette here, with some sunshine-y news! I’ve recently relocated to the beautiful city of Aviles in Asturias, Spain.
It’s a dream come true to immerse myself in the vibrant Mediterranean lifestyle
known for its focus on fresh, seasonal produce and gut health.
Speaking of gut health, guess what?
A happy gut
can be a key player in supporting a healthy fertility journey [1].
That’s because your gut microbiome, the trillions of tiny bacteria living in your digestive system, plays a role
in hormone regulation and even egg quality [2].
So, how can you nourish your gut for fertility this spring?
Look no further than your local farmers market!
Here are some delicious Mediterranean picks to add to your plate:
- Artichokes: These fiber powerhouses are prebiotics, which feed the good bacteria in your gut [3].
- Figs: They’re a natural source of antioxidants and prebiotics, a double whammy for gut health [4].
- Olives & Olive Oil: A staple of the Mediterranean diet, these are rich in healthy fats that can benefit your gut microbiome [5].
These are just a taste of the gut-loving goodness the season offers.
Stay tuned for more tips and recipes coming soon!
In the meantime, soak up the sunshine, embrace the bounty of spring
and nourish your body for the incredible journey ahead.
Warmly,
Ivette Navarro
