Kickstart your day with a simple yet powerful 5-minute ritual designed to reset your gut and set the tone for a vibrant, energized morning. By incorporating these practices, you’ll not only support digestion but your overall well-being. Here’s how to do it.
Hydrate with Sayu (Warm Water)
Begin your morning by sipping a glass of sayu, or warm water. This Japanese practice involves boiling water for about 10 minutes to remove impurities, then letting it cool to a comfortable temperature before drinking. Sayu hydrates your body after a night’s rest, warms your stomach, and gently stimulates your digestive system. Drinking sayu in the morning is a soothing and effective way to prepare your gut for the day ahead.
Activate Your Gut with R’s KOSO
Once hydrated, it’s time to nourish your gut with R’s KOSO. Packed with probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics, this fermented drink is a powerhouse for gut health. Mix a tablespoon of R’s KOSO with water, your daily coffee, or tea for a refreshing start to your day. The postbiotics in R’s KOSO help balance your microbiome, improve digestion, and promote overall vitality. Incorporating this into your morning ritual ensures your gut is primed and ready to perform at its best.
Gentle Stretching and Deep Breathing
Take a moment for gentle stretching or deep breathing exercises to stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system, which is crucial for optimal digestion. A few simple stretches or mindful breaths can reduce stress, improve circulation, and signal your body to enter a state of relaxation, enhancing your digestive process.
No matter how nutritious your meals are or how well-balanced your diet is, it’s meaningless if your body can’t properly digest and absorb the nutrients. Remember, if you’re not relaxed during meals, your body won’t efficiently digest and absorb the nutrients.

Plan Your Breakfast Wisely
Finally, set an intention to choose a gut-friendly breakfast. Opt for fiber-rich foods like oatmeal, sourdough bread, or brown rice with high protein foods such as egg, yogurt, tofu, beans, chicken, salmon, or mackerel. If you don't feel hungry or you don't have time in the morning, consider a smoothie with ingredients such as R's KOSO, spinach, banana, apple, nuts, and chia seeds. Pairing your meal with the benefits of R’s KOSO ensures a balanced start to the day.
