Gut Health: Why It Matters and How To Improve It

Gut health is a topic that's been getting a lot of attention lately - and for good reason. Hippocrates, The Father of Medicine who lived centuries ago, famously said that "all diseases begin in the gut". And believe it or not, this idea still holds true today. A healthy gut is foundational to overall health and well-being, and in this blog, we'll explore why gut health matters and what steps you can take to improve it.

Why Gut Health Matters

Here are just a few reasons why gut health is so important:

- About 70% of our immune system is located in the gut.
- The gut controls many hormones, including those related to metabolism.
- 95% of our serotonin, the "feel-good" neurotransmitter, is produced in the small intestine. This is why gut health is linked to mental health.
- Poor gut health can lead to poor sleep quality and other sleep issues.
- The gut communicates with the brain through the "gut-brain axis", affecting digestion, cognition, and emotions.


How to Improve Your Gut Health:
 
Clearly, a healthy gut is critical to overall health and well-being. But with all the conflicting information out there, it can be hard to know where to start. Here are some steps you can take to improve your gut health:

1. Start with Good Nutrition and Hydration

Eating clean, healthy foods and drinking plenty of filtered water is essential not just for gut health, but for overall health and wellness. Be sure to eat a varied diet with lots of fiber to maintain healthy digestion.

2. Get Enough Sleep, Exercise Regularly, & Manage Stress

Sleep, exercise, and stress management all play a role in gut health. Be sure to prioritize these areas and find ways to fit them into your daily routine.

3. Supplement Your Diet with Pre/Probiotics, Enzymes, & Fiber

Even with a healthy diet, most people don't get enough pre/probiotics, enzymes, and fiber to support a healthy gut. Consider adding these supplements to your daily routine.
