(BPT) - If you've ever thought about gut support, you're not alone. In fact, nearly 75% of U.S. adults experience digestive discomfort at least once a month, and approximately 40% aren't comfortable doing day-to-day activities because of gut health issues. If this sounds familiar, the first thing you should do is consult with your health care provider. Additionally, you may want to consider resetting your health regimen this season, with a focus on supporting your digestive well-being.

To help you get started, Nature Made^®, the No. 1 Pharmacist Recommended vitamin and supplement brand* with over 50 years of expertise in delivering high-quality products with ingredients backed by science, is offering gut wellness tips to guide your seasonal revamp.

Focus on fiber

You've probably heard it before, but it's helpful to set specific goals for boosting your fiber intake and discover fiber-rich foods you actually enjoy. That way, it'll be easy to incorporate more fiber into your everyday routine through foods like fruit, leafy greens, whole grains, legumes, seeds and nuts.

How much fiber should you aim for? Try to consume about 21-38 grams of fiber per day. To increase your daily fiber intake:

• include at least five servings of fruit/vegetables per day
• sub whole grains for refined grains
• eat oatmeal for breakfast
• consume beans and lentils daily
• swap popcorn for chips or candy

Drink more water with meals

Sipping water as you eat throughout the day aids in your digestive processes and promotes regularity, helping break down the food in your system so your body can absorb nutrients better. Not a fan of plain water? Spruce it up with slices of cucumber, lime or lemon, and flavored ice cubes, or opt for sparkling water.

Exercise to support gut health

Did you know physical activity can support your gut muscles, too? Getting regular exercise helps support your circulation and metabolism, which contribute to a healthy digestive system. Research shows that exercise may even support the beneficial microbes in your gut.

What kinds of exercise are best? Anything that gets your heart rate moving faster than normal and helps you work up a sweat, including walking, biking, dancing or even yardwork and housework. Always be sure to consult with your doctor before beginning any new exercise regimen.

Get your z's

Research shows that there's a connection between getting enough good-quality sleep and a healthy gut microbiome. Since sleep is so crucial to your well-being, it's always a good idea to review your sleep habits to ensure you're getting the rest you need. Experts usually recommend eight hours for adults, but these needs can vary by individual, so try tracking your sleep for a couple of weeks to see how much you really need to feel your best.

Using these tips, your fall regimen can help support your gut health, which is a key component of overall wellness. By supporting this fundamental part of your body's functions, you may also start to notice benefits in other aspects of your well-being.
