Gut Wellness
Gut Wellness
A healthy gut is essential for your well-being. Different gastrointestinal symptoms like heartburn, abdominal pain, abdominal cramping, gas, and bloating, could reflect what’s happening with the overall health of your body. Moreover, a healthy gut microbiome, the microorganisms residing inside your gut, appear to play a role in the overall state of your gut and body health. Gut wellness starts by following a balanced diet. A healthy diet includes the right combination of fruits and vegetables, as well as healthy fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Unfortunately, the majority of population consume less than 50% of the necessary fiber for their digestive system. Gut health is not just about diet, other factors like healthy sleeping habits, activity and exercise, and emotional health are also essential. Adequate sleep for at least 7 hours has been found to protect from obesity that is linked with several digestive disorders. Activity and overall body fitness helps for a diverse microbiome and improves gut well-being. Furthermore, psychosocial factors influence the actual physiology of the gut, the gut and brain interacts closely and psychosocial factors can affect movement and contractions of your gut. They can also makes you more responsive to pain signals from your digestive tract. Stress can make the existing pain seem even worse. We follow a holistic approach to gut wellness and we believe that by improving your digestive wellness you can improve your overall health and life quality.
