Nutritionist and certified personal trainer Gianna took to TechTick to share three morning rituals she swears by to support gut health—and one in particular should get things moving.
This should be done immediately upon rising and can be done in less than a minute – without any special ingredients.
“Number one is to drink warm water on an empty stomach.”
Guyana drinks and maintains about 32 ounces of warm water, the benefits of which are countless.
“Not only will it hydrate you and make you feel better, but it will also help restore your natural fluid balance and help your digestion just by getting things moving again and releasing toxins,” says Gianna.
He adds that adding electrolyte powder, Himalayan salt, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to warm water can enhance the effects.

It affects sleep, mood, and energy levels and fights inflammation, controls blood pressure, and regulates blood sugar, among other important functions.
Guyana urges visitors to eat a well-balanced breakfast before or alongside their first cup of coffee.
In a separate tidbit, nutritional therapist Oliva Hedlund also weighed in with caution on coffee, saying that “not only is it acidic, so it’s hard on our stomachs in the morning, but it actually It causes our body’s stress response to fire, releasing cortisol, and putting us into fight or flight mode.
“It’s because your body is stressed. Eat a little before you drink coffee. Make that your goal. I promise you’ll see a difference.
