Warning signs indicate poor gut health

Poor gut starts showing some early warning signs that you must take note of. Nutritionist Minacshi Pettukola, recently, shared four signs of poor gut health that you should not avoid. Good health is extremely essential to maintain a healthy body and mind. However, due to erratic eating habits and sedentary lifestyles, it often gets compromised. But, most people fail to notice this, leading to digestive issues.

The incredible complexity of the gut and its importance to our overall health is a topic of increasing research in the medical community. Numerous studies in the past two decades have demonstrated links between gut health and the immune system, mood, mental health, autoimmune diseases, endocrine disorders, skin conditions, and cancer.

At one time, our digestive system was considered a relatively “simple” body system, comprised essentially of one long tube for our food to pass through, be absorbed, and then excreted.

The term “gut microbiome” refers specifically to the microorganisms living in your intestines. A person has about 300 to 500 different species of bacteria in their digestive tract. While some microorganisms are harmful to our health, many are incredibly beneficial and even necessary to a healthy body.

The gut microbiome contains a mix of good and bad bacteria that helps achieve many important roles in our body: protects against dangerous bacteria, regulates metabolism, aids in digestion, creates vitamins, manages hormone levels, and disposes of toxins,” says Glazer.

So it makes total sense that when your gut health is not well, it impacts numerous parts of our bodies. Here are 12 signs and symptoms that your gut health needs help, and how to fix it, according to experts.

Things to Avoid:

When the gut is filled with proportions of bad bacteria higher or in excess, our foods are not broken down or digested as they should, leading to an increase in gas and acidity in your gut. “Besides eating nutritious foods, eating without distractions, chewing your food well and consciously help in the overall process of digestion,” the nutritionist said.

Did you know there is a strong connection between low moods/depression and digestive health? Doesn’t this explain why when we feel low, we either crave comfort food or even lose our appetite? (apart from the other feelings we have). She added, “This is the not so good bacteria in our tummies being active! Good sleep, fresh produce, movement and stress management help both the mind and the gut.”

If your digestive wall is irritated, hyper-permeable or ‘leaky’ from the foods you eat, the stress you experience or an imbalanced lifestyle, undigested food passes beyond your digestive wall and into your body causing a whole host of problems, including slow brain function.

Any issues with our gut like inflammation, a leaky gut or a digestive problem, the first place one can notice is the skin. The skin is the largest organ in our bodies that can quite quickly show unhappiness. Gut healthy foods and a healthy lifestyle can definitely result in healthy glowing skin.
