Matchmake Your Body With The Right Diet

February brings us Valentine’s Day, making it the perfect time to give your body some love and TLC. You may already prioritise eating healthily, but does this mean your meals are well-paired with how your body functions? Here, we look at how a food intolerance test can match your diet to your body and why checking in with your digestive system is a form of self-care. For Valentine’s Day, ensure you can matchmake your body with the right diet.

Take a food intolerance test to identify ingredients that work against your body

It’s not uncommon to start the new year by eating healthily. Or to make a conscious effort as part of your lifestyle to ensure that your meals are nutritionally balanced. But just because a food is good for you doesn’t necessarily mean it is compatible with your digestive system. It is entirely plausible that you’ve been eating an item for weeks, months or even years that triggers a symptom you’ve long attributed to something else.

Taking a food intolerance test will help you separate the products that suit your body from those that work against it, even if they’re healthy. For example, you could find that you’re sensitive to a type of fruit or vegetable, making you feel bloated. You may have included it in your meals for its benefits, but you won’t be able to make the most of its nutritional value if it makes you uncomfortable and unwell. This is why it is important to matchmake your body with the right diet.

A comprehensive report to identify food sensitivities

When you take a food intolerance test, you won’t have to wait long for your results. A pdf report will be emailed to you within 72 hours of receiving your submission form at the UK Food Intolerance lab with all the information you need to gain a better understanding of your body. As well as including a breakdown of foods that are likely to cause a sensitive reaction, it will also have a list of items that have the potential to initiate a mild response.

Although everyone is different, typical symptoms of a food intolerance include digestive complaints such as bloating and an upset stomach, headaches, and a hives type rash. Because these symptoms are often associated with other common illnesses they can easily be overlooked, so you may not realise that your diet is making you unwell and affecting your overall wellbeing.

Use your food intolerance results to pair your body with the right diet.

Taking a food intolerance test helps you matchmake your body with a diet that meets its individual needs. Once you know which foods you’re compatible with, you can focus on planning meals that will fuel your body and make you feel the very best version of yourself. We think nothing of having a beauty treatment, or taking extra supplements, so why should giving your digestive system some extra attention be any different?

In fact, by nourishing your body with foods that support it from the inside, you’ll notice the benefits in other areas of your life, such as the quality of your sleep and your energy levels. We are all unique, and taking a food intolerance test is one of the few acts of self-care that enable you to embrace your individuality and put your needs first.
