Want better gut health?
So much about overall good health starts with a happy gut. Good digestion is the key to our health. The Happiness is dependent on our gut micro biome, the ecosystem of beneficial bacteria that resides throughout our gastrointestinal tract. Food is also medicine when it comes to gut health. If your Agni (digestive fire) is strong, you will feel light, nourished, and clean after a meal, and have no fatigue, heaviness, fullness, or indigestions.
Our micro biome is made of organisms such as bacteria, fungi, yeasts and surprisingly viruses, which help to fight other pathogenic bacteria in our gut. Many factors can disrupt its balance, such as long term stressors, medication, illness, poor diet such as processed sugary/fatty foods, alcohol and genetics. The beneficial bacteria found in our gut helps to break down our food by absorbing nutrients and eliminating any toxins during the digestive process. Some of its many other vital roles include, strengthening our immune systems and keeping our hormones balanced by supporting the detoxifying process in the liver. Signals of imbalance in our gut micro biome include symptoms such as bloating, gas, loose stools and constipation. The reach our gut micro biome has throughout the body, its symbiosis can also lead to issues such as a weakened immune system, depression and hormone imbalances like PMS. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or conditions, you may want to start using probiotic supplements and including probiotic foods into your diet.
