Gut health is something that impacts the entire body, ranging from skin and hair to weight, immunity, mood and overall well-being. However, most people are unaware of the importance of gut health in a larger perspective. Taking to Instagram on July 1, 2026, Paridhi, a gut health nutritionist, shared a few “so-called healthy habits” that she would never recommend people to practice for a healthy gut.
1. Giving up sugar completely
Sugar is considered and advocated as one of the worst elements, but as a gut health nutritionist, Paridhi has a different perspective on this. She highlights that giving up sugar completely is not a sustainable approach to achieving a healthy lifestyle. We need to learn to incorporate sugar into our meals in a balanced way, rather than trying to eliminate it completely. “Your goal should be sugar sense, not sugar fear,” said Paridhi.
