The parallels between gut health and overall wellbeing are undeniable.
The gut consists of millions of bacteria, we have good and bad bacteria, but we need a balance of these to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, this in turn will lead to a healthy nervous and immune system.
However, our gut microbiome is fragile, and we can easily create an imbalance of our microbiome, from poor diet choices, prescription medications, smoking, alcohol, or stress.
Yes, all these factors can wipe out our good bacteria in our gut resulting in imbalance of the gut microbiome.
Imbalances can lead to inflammation within the gut, the brain, and the immune system. What does this mean? Are you experiencing symptoms such as constipation, diarrhoea, bloating, reflux, food intolerances, anxiety, depression, mood swings, learning difficulties, brain fog, exhaustion, acne, difficulty sleeping, weight loss or weight gain, frequent coughs, and colds (to name a few)?? Well, if you are, start looking at your gut health.
One of the best ways to improve your gut health and prevent underlying symptoms, is to build up “good bacteria” in your gut, and avoid foods, medications, lifestyle choices, that can trigger these problems.
Being gut happy can prevent underlying disorders such as irritable bowel disease, thyroid conditions, blood sugar dysregulations and other hormonal and immune dysfunctions. Pretty amazing to think at least 80% of our immune system is the lining of the nose and digestive tract.
