How to Support Your Digestive Health

How to Support Your Digestive Health

Did you know that a large portion of your immune system resides in your intestines?

Digestive issues like heartburn, gas, bloating, or constipation often reflect the overall state of your body. These problems can frequently be traced back to imbalances in stomach acid and gastrointestinal flora. Your gut’s “flora” is a complex ecosystem of bacteria that requires the right balance of “good” and “bad” bacteria to function optimally.

Simple Tips to Support Digestive Health:

  • Eat plenty of fiber-rich foods.
  • Include pre- and probiotics, such as fermented or pickled foods.
  • Get enough sleep to allow your body to recover and restore balance.
  • Exercise regularly to support a healthy metabolism and digestion.
  • Manage stress effectively, as chronic stress can disrupt gut health.

Since digestive health is closely linked to immune health, taking care of your gut is essential for your overall wellness.
