January has a funny way of making us ambitious. Suddenly we’re convinced this is the year we’ll wake up earlier, eat better, drink more water, stress less, and finally sort out that “something’s just not quite right” feeling in our bodies. And while we fully support a fresh start, we also know that most New Year’s resolutions fall apart when they’re too complicated. At Klean, we believe the best health resolutions are simple, realistic, and built around consistency — not perfection. Which is why this January, we’re talking about the one resolution that quietly supports almost everything else: gut health. Why Your Gut Deserves a New Year Reset If your digestion has been unpredictable, your energy inconsistent, or your immune...
We tend to think of electrolytes as something you reach for after a long run, a flu, or a hot yoga class. But in reality, they’re essential to every cell, every day. Electrolytes are the body’s electrical system — the charged minerals that keep your heart beating, muscles contracting, and brain firing. And when they’re out of balance, even slightly, the effects can ripple far beyond thirst. What Exactly Are Electrolytes? Electrolytes are minerals that carry an electric charge when dissolved in fluid — primarily sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, and phosphate. Their job is to help regulate: • Fluid balance between cells and tissues• Muscle and nerve function• Blood pressure and pH levels• Nutrient absorption and waste removal In...
October marks Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to recognise that mental well-being is not just about what happens in the mind, but also what’s happening deep within the gut. In recent years, research has confirmed what ancient wisdom has long suggested: our digestive system and our brain are in constant conversation. The gut is often referred to as the “second brain” — not a poetic exaggeration, but a biological fact. The Gut–Brain Connection Lining the gut is a vast network of over 100 million neurons, known as the enteric nervous system (ENS). These neurons communicate with the central nervous system through the vagus nerve, forming a two-way communication pathway known as the gut–brain axis. This connection allows signals...
Spring in South Africa isn’t just about longer days and blossoming gardens—it’s nature’s reset button. As the seasons shift, our bodies also crave renewal. One of the most overlooked ways to align with this rhythm is by giving your gut a seasonal reset. Why Seasonal Changes Impact Your Gut Your digestive system is sensitive to shifts in temperature, food availability, and daily routines. After a winter of heavier comfort foods, lower activity, and less sunshine, the gut can feel sluggish and imbalanced. This shows up as: Bloating and digestive discomfort Cravings and unstable energy Lower immunity Skin flare-ups Spring brings lighter meals, fresh produce, and more movement—making it the perfect moment to reset and support your gut in functioning optimally....
Everyone dreams of glass skin — that radiant, poreless glow that seems to come straight out of a skincare ad. But what if the real secret to glowing skin isn’t just what you put on your face, but what you put inside your body? At Klean, we understand that skin clarity, smoothness, and glow are deeply connected to your gut health. The gut and skin communicate constantly — when your digestion is out of balance, inflammation and toxins can surface as redness, breakouts, or dullness.
