Our Gut Healthy Gift Guide

Are you searching for the right gift for that special super health-conscious person? Or what about that friend who is plagued by a turbulent tummy? And what should you get for a relative who always makes a healthy New Year’s resolution?

Ta-da! We have some fantastic gut health gift ideas for these hard-to-shop-for giftees. And while you’re at it, why not snag one or two of these items yourself?

Immersion Blender:

This hand-held appliance is excellent for blending sauces, smoothies, and soups. Our favorite gut health guru, Carley Smith, aka The Fairy Gutmother, suggests that blended veggie soups are an excellent way for your gut to reap the benefits of a bowl full of veggies without the uncomfortable side effects that raw veggies can bring to the table. Check out this recipe for Roasted Poblano Soup.

Kombucha Brewing Kit:

Kombucha is a popular fermented beverage that is rich in probiotics. A kombucha brewing kit can be a fun and unique gift for someone who enjoys this fizzy drink. The kit typically includes everything needed to brew kombucha at home, including a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast), tea, and sugar.

Cookbook with Gut-Friendly Recipes:

Choose a cookbook that focuses on recipes with ingredients known to promote gut health. This might include recipes that incorporate fiber-rich foods, fermented foods, and prebiotics. Some cookbooks specifically cater to a gut-friendly diet and provide creative and tasty ways to incorporate these elements into daily meals.

Ginger Tea:

This is the perfect stocking stuffer for just about everyone. Why? Well, for starters, a warm cup of ginger tea with honey and lemon is just plain relaxing during the holiday hubbub. But that’s just the beginning. Gingerol, a natural component of ginger root, encourages efficient digestion, so food doesn’t linger as long in the gut. In turn, it can reduce constipation and other causes of bloating and intestinal gas.

Yoga Mat:

You know that friend who is constantly stressed out? A simple, low-cost yoga mat might be the encouragement they need. Not only is yoga good for strength, mobility, and flexibility, but it’s also great for stress management. Your GI tract is sensitive to emotion, and that’s why stress can trigger gut upsets. Studies show that stress can cause digestive function to slow down and struggle with breaking down foods.

A Guided Journal or Habit Tracker:

Thanks to the gut-brain axis, a guided journal can be a thoughtful gift that not only supports mental health but also gut health by promoting stress management. While a habit tracker can help recording habits such as nutrition, exercise, physical symptoms, and other relevant information. Tracking habits can help identify patterns and provide insights into how different foods and lifestyle factors affect well-being.

A Healthy Snack Subscription Box:

Subscribe your friend or family member to a monthly delivery of probiotic-rich foods. This could include a variety of fermented products like kimchi, kombucha, miso, and kefir. A subscription box allows them to explore different flavors and types of probiotic foods regularly.

Digestive Supplements:

There’s no one-size-fits-all gut health supplement, but Zenwise® offers some that come pretty darn close. We pride ourselves on providing effective formulations that address multiple digestive health needs. We are the only top 25 digestive health company to offer a supplement, Digestive Enzymes, that combines probiotics, prebiotics, and enzymes in one easy-to-swallow capsule.
