A hot topic of research today- Gut health, and why shouldn’t it be? It has a significant impact on our overall health and how we feel.
Several facets of modern-day life, such as ever-increasing stress levels, eating processed food, and taking OTC antibiotics, can all cause damage to the gut microbiome. This, in turn, affects several aspects of health such as the absorption of nutrients, the levels of hormones, weight, skin, immune system, the brain and heart.
Surprising, isn’t it?
There are several ways in which an unhealthy gut can potentially manifest itself. Here are a few of the common signs:
1.Perpetually upset stomach
Stomach disturbances like heartburn, gas, constipation, bloating, and diarrhoea can all be categorized as signs of an unhealthy gut. However, a balanced gut will have less difficulty processing the food that you eat.
2.A diet high in sugar
Craving sugars a lot lately? You can as well blame it on your gut!
Consuming a high-in added sugars and processed foods diet can decrease the number of good bacteria that prevails in your gut. This imbalance can be a causative factor of increased sugar cravings, which can further damage your gut.
3.Unintentional changes in weight
Losing or gaining weight without making any deliberate changes to your diet?
This can be a potential sign of an unhealthy gut.
4.Constant fatigue or insomnia
An unhealthy gut is in so many ways equivalent to an unhealthy you.
Be it insomnia or a deteriorating sleep pattern. It may all be because of an unbalanced and unhealthy gut.
Well, despite an array of poor health outcomes that an unhealthy gut can pose, here are some things that you can do for your gut health:
5.Lower the level of stress
Perpetually high levels of stress can be challenging for your body as a whole, including your gut. Some ways to lower these stress levels may include meditation, walking in nature, spending time with family and friends and decreasing caffeine intake.
6.“Early to bed, early to rise”
Not getting enough or poor quality of sleep can have severe health impacts, especially when it comes to gut health which can, in turn, contribute to a more significant number of health issues.
