The Importance of Gut Health: Foods and Habits to Improve Digestion
Gut health plays a crucial role in overall wellness, influencing everything from digestion and immune function to mental health and energy levels. The gut, often referred to as the “second brain,” contains trillions of bacteria and other microorganisms that work together to break down food, absorb nutrients, and protect against harmful pathogens. Maintaining a healthy gut is essential for…

Hydration tip:
High water-content gelatin!
There’s lots of reasons drinking water can be hard, but for many people eating jello is a lot easier. It’s colorful! It has a uniform texture! It has a flavor that isn’t “tap water flavor”! And as a bonus, it’s easy to make.
If you’re buying flavored gelatin packets from the store that already have sugar and dye in them, just follow the directions on the packaging for a nice jiggly treat. Adding more water to that recipe will only reward you with jelly slush (I tried it, it was bad). If you buy unflavored gelatin, you can mix it with fruit juice and control the amount of sugar that ends up in your final product (water that’s full of sugar isn’t less hydrating, but calorie needs vary. Regular jello can be too sweet or flavorful for some people to get enough water this way).
Recipe:
2 cups apple juice
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup cold water (or fruit juice of choice)
2 packets unflavored gelatin
Note: this recipe assumes that one packet of unflavored gelatin normally makes one cup of jello. Different brands may package their products differently, so check your packaging for instructions before you start.
Directions: pour 1/2 cup of cold water or fruit juice of choice into a heatproof container large enough to hold at least 4 cups of liquid (a Pyrex glass measuring pitcher is perfect for this, but make sure your vessel has a spout you can comfortably pour from). Sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin on top, and let it rest until all of the gelatin powder becomes wet (it will darken and become translucent). Slowly pour 1.5 cups of boiling water over the hydrated gelatin, stirring until all of the gelatin has dissolved. Then add 2 cups of cold or room temperature apple juice, and stir to mix thoroughly. Pour into a large dish (or several single-serving containers), cover, and chill for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
Some notes:
Apple juice is high in pectin, the chemical found in many fruits that helps jams and preserves thicken and set. The pectin helps the gelatin set, making a nice firm jello even with extra liquid.
If you want a milder flavored jello that isn’t as sweet, reduce the amount of apple juice but keep everything else the same. It will make less jello but the consistency should be about the same.
If you want sweeter jello, you can replace some of the water with fruit juice of your choice; just mix it with the rest of the water and heat it to a boil before adding it to the hydrated gelatin.
You can use any fruit juice to flavor your gelatin, but the enzymes found in raw pineapple will prevent your jello from setting. Canned pineapple juice has been cooked and won’t contain those enzymes, so use that instead if you really want pineapple.
My favorite yogurt comes in single-serving cups with plastic lids, so I save those and use them as jello cups. Other suggestions for portioning include:
Ice cube trays (difficult to remove the jello unless you have the kind with removable walls, and may be difficult to clean. However, you can freeze your jello cubes after they set to pop them out like regular ice cubes [maybe. I haven’t tested this]. Frozen jello is its own texture experience, your mileage may vary)
Small dessert glasses or baby food jars, if you have those on hand (still a potential hassle to clean if you have a lot of them, but you can at least put those in the dishwasher if you have one)
Silicone cupcake wrappers (see above for cleaning concerns, but these have the benefit of being difficult to break and easily stackable, minimizing storage issues. Plus they come in fun colors. I recommend arranging these on a sturdy tray (or inside a muffin pan) before filling, and placing the tray in the fridge rather than moving a bunch of individual wobbly cups full of sticky liquid).
Paper cupcake wrappers. I haven’t tried this, so I don’t know if jello soaking into the paper would be a problem, but I still recommend getting the kind that’s lightly waxed. Putting these in a muffin pan would be a must, as I don’t trust them to hold liquid on their own. The upside to these is they’re disposable and easy to store in large quantities with minimal space. These also come in fun colors and even patterns.
Waxed paper cups. Again for smaller ones I recommend putting them on a tray to make your life easier. These also have the benefit of being disposable and don’t require you to own a muffin pan to use.
bestie please drink some water if only so you can appreciate ronance+max better. but don’t chug it, - that’ll just run it through your system kinda like going down an water slide, effectively wash out you kidneys, and your body won’t be able to take the water in the way it needs to to hydrate.
a few mouthfuls of water (like 100-200ml maybe) every ten minutes until your water bottle/cup is empty. if your water bottle is like 750ml, then space the whole thing out over an hour. you’ll feel better i promise. it’s also less laborious than chugging a bunch of water straight up - your body has to do way less work this way
this is also useful to know if you’re writing someone who is fasting, unable to access water because they’re trapped in the desert, or being deprived of water! people in stories often make the mistake of drinking as much water as they can as soon as they can because they’ve been without for so long, but this only hydrates marginally and overall causes strong stomach pain and for your body to reject the water (usually throwing it back up painfully) because it’s not used to it. little bit by little bit is the best way to go.
AHAGHHGSGHH it was just a joke, but i genuinely do like all this advice. it's just i'm travelling atm and the water here tastes FUCKIN WEIRD and im also adhd so i forget to drink it, but dw, i usually hydrate really well!!! today's just not my day shsjjshj
