How important is the gut health?
Numerous research suggests that our digestive system plays a very important role far beyond simply digesting food.
Our gut is of vital importance for the immune system. It is understood that 70% of the whole body immune tissue resides with the gut. Impaired gut lining is understood to be related to the development of a whole range of health conditions including autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis.
The gut is also understood to be closely related to our emotional health and well being, with many hormones being produced in the gut. An unhealthy gut can disrupt the overall functioning of the body and may lead to various mood disorders, anxiety and depression, and sleep issues. Hormonal imbalances, fertility issues and weight management have also been shown to be closely related to gut health.
