Your Gut
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a 30-foot-long tube that works with other parts of your digestive system to break down food and drink into smaller molecules so they can be absorbed by the blood for use by cells throughout the body. It also helps control weight, cholesterol, and inflammatory responses.
How to heal your gut
The good news is that you can take various strategies to help improve your gut health. One way is to decrease inflammation in the body by removing foods that you don’t tolerate well. This reduces the workload on your immune system to focus on healing your gut.
Diet
Eating a diet rich in fiber, primarily vegetables, and fruits, can help promote healthy bacteria growth in the gut. In addition, getting enough omega-3 fatty acids in your diet is also essential for gut health.
Exercise
Physical activity has been linked to changes in the gut’s microbial makeup. Studies have shown that those who exercise often have better gut health than those who do not.
Sleep
Not getting enough or getting quality sleep can negatively impact gut health. Establish healthy sleep habits by establishing a consistent bedtime and wake time.
Vitamin D can be an essential supplement for your gut and general health, as Vitamin D supports the growth and function of the good bacteria in the heart and a healthy immune system.
