Simple, natural habits can go a long way to support gut health. Increasing fiber, staying hydrated, managing stress, eating a diverse range of plants, and using gentle options like peppermint oil all help keep digestion balanced. These evidence-based tips make it easier to support gut health and feel more comfortable every day.
Your gut does more than digest food—it shapes mood, metabolism, and immune resilience. When balance slips, symptoms like bloating, gas, and irregularity often appear first. According to the NIH (National Institute of Health) survey, 61% of adults reported functional digestive symptoms each year. You don’t need extreme cleanses to reset your gut. Research-backed lifestyle shifts—paired with clean, plant-based digestive support such as Gastro Vitale®—can help you feel lighter and more comfortable every day.
1. Prioritize a Fiber-Rich, Whole-Food Diet
- Fiber is the fuel your microbiome lives on. Soluble fibers feed beneficial bacteria, generating short-chain fatty acids that strengthen the colon lining.
- Studies in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology show that gradual increases in soluble fiber support gut health, improving stool form and reducing bloating when combined with hydration.
- A particularly gentle option is acacia fiber, featured in ViBrew™ —a gut-friendly functional coffee that delivers prebiotic acacia fiber alongside matcha and mushrooms to nourish beneficial microbes. Pairing ViBrew’s prebiotic support with Gastro Vitale’s peppermint-oil formulation offers a daily “fiber-plus-comfort” routine for smoother digestion.
2. Stay Hydrated to Keep Things Moving
- Water aids every stage of digestion—from nutrient absorption to waste elimination. Even mild dehydration can slow transit and intensify bloating.
- The National Academy of Medicine recommends approximately 13 cups of fluids per day for healthy men and about 9 cups for healthy women (with 1 cup equal to 8 ounces) to support the gut health. Individuals who are physically active or in hot environments may require even more to stay properly hydrated. Hydration also optimizes the soothing effects of peppermint-oil formulas like Gastro Vitale®, helping the gut function rhythmically and efficiently.
3. Manage Stress and Support the Gut–Brain Axis
- Your gut and brain constantly communicate through the vagus nerve. Chronic stress disrupts this pathway, slowing motility and heightening sensitivity.
- An IMCJ research confirms that relaxation practices—breathwork, yoga, mindful eating—reduce bloating and gas in people with functional GI symptoms.
- Establishing calming rituals—like a morning cup of ViBrew™ (@drinkvibrew) for prebiotic nourishment and an evening Gastro Vitale® capsule for peppermint-oil comfort—helps regulate both digestion and mood.
4. Balance Your Microbiome Through Plant Diversity
- A diverse diet means a diverse microbiome. Rotating fruits, vegetables, legumes, and fermented foods support your gut health by introducing new fibers and polyphenols that feed different bacterial species.
- Acacia fiber, again found in ViBrew™ (@drinkvibrew), is a well-tolerated prebiotic that supports this microbial variety without causing excess gas. Together with Gastro Vitale’s peppermint-oil support, it forms a complementary duo: prebiotic feeding + motility calming to support gut health.
- Avoid excessive processed foods and unnecessary antibiotics, both of which disrupt gut flora and can trigger bloating.
5. Use Peppermint Oil for Natural Digestive Comfort
- Peppermint oil is one of the most researched botanicals for functional gas and bloating. Menthol—the active compound—relaxes smooth muscle in the intestines, helping gas move naturally.
- A 2019 meta-analysis showed peppermint-oil capsules significantly improved abdominal pain and bloating.
- The ACG IBS Guideline (2021) lists peppermint oil as an evidence-based natural option for digestive comfort.
- Gastro Vitale® uses enteric-coated peppermint-oil capsules designed to release in the small intestine—targeting where relief is needed most while minimizing reflux or aftertaste.

When to See a Doctor
Persistent bloating, pain, or changes in bowel habits should be evaluated by a gastroenterologist. Early assessment helps rule out IBS, celiac disease, or other conditions that mimic functional bloating.
