Trillions of fungi, viruses and bacteria live inside your body. These form part of the gut microbiome, thus assisting with digesting food while supporting your immune system, brain and heart health. But how do you support a healthy gut? Royal Oak Health’s article explores why gut health is important.
What is Gut Health?
Gut health refers to the health of your digestive tract. Balancing good and bad bacteria, and yeast in your digestive system is essential for optimal gut health. Did you know the gut makes up 80% of your immune system? Therefore, an unhealthy gut can lead to hormonal imbalances and a weakened immune system, increasing your risk of illness and potentially catching long-term autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto’s Disease.
Why is Gut Health Essential for Our Health and Wellbeing?
Having good gut health is crucial to fuelling and maintaining your body. If your immune system is not working as it should, it’ll lead to an imbalanced gut, thus making it challenging for you to stay healthy. Your body will struggle to remove toxins, leading to chronic illnesses and inflammation. Boosting your gut health by making dietary and lifestyle changes can make a difference in your health.
What Can Affect Gut Health?
Many factors can affect your gut health, whether that’s lifestyle or dietary changes, such as:
- Regularly eating processed and sugary foods.
- Taking antibiotics.
- Having very little sleep.
- High amounts of stress.
What are the Signs of an Unhealthy Gut Health?
Symptoms of an unhealthy gut health can come in many forms, some of which include:
- Bloating and gas.
- Constipation and diarrhoea.
- Autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and Type 1 diabetes.
- Headaches and poor concentration.
How to Improve Your Gut Health
When it comes to improving your gut health, there are several things you can do, such as:
- Reducing your intake of artificial sweeteners.
- Eating a wide variety of foods, from fermented goods and whole grains to a range of fruits and vegetables.
- Taking a probiotic supplement.
- Trying a vegetarian or plant-based diet.
- Taking antibiotics when necessary.
- Getting more sleep.
- Drinking plenty of water daily.
- Practicing mindfulness.
