The digestive system made up of the gastrointestinal tract (GI), liver, pancreas, and gallbladder helps the body digest food. Digestion is important for breaking down food into nutrients, which your body uses for energy, growth, and cell repair.
Digestive diseases can include: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s Disease, Gas, Lactose Intolerance, Heartburn, Diarrhoea, Constipation, Acid Reflux and more.
Why your gut health is so important..
About 70% of your immune system is based on your gut health! So, a healthy gut can strengthen your immune system. If you can’t go to toilet regularly (more than once a day) then your body isn’t breaking down food properly, which means you aren’t able to absorb nutrients, can’t convert food into energy and would be struggling to heal itself.
You have thousands of neurotransmitters in your gut too! If your gut is happy, your brain will be too!
An unhealthy gut can lead to digestive diseases, skin problems, lack of energy, foggy brain, inflammation, aches & pains, allergies, bloating, bad breath and more. Health issues tend to be multi-causal and are usually all related.
