Is your gut health holding you back?
If you are suffering from conditions such as fatigue or arthritis, a possible cause is poor gut health. Chronic issues such as inflammation are often caused by poor nutrition and not providing what your gut needs to stay healthy. To live with better health, stronger vitality, and a lifestyle that emphasizes wellness, you need to address the issues your gut may be experiencing.
Gut Health
Over the past few decades, more studies have shown a link between the health of the gut and the immune system, skin conditions, autoimmune diseases, and even cancer along with mental health. While many consider the digestive system a simple and straightforward part of the human anatomy, there is a complexity that is only now being fully realized in terms of good health.
Gut dysbiosis is a common occurrence in Western societies due to the diet that is specific to Western cultures. This means that not enough nutrients are being taken in and too much harmful substances, such as sugar are being consumed. Combine that with not enough sleep and high levels of stress and it doesn’t take long for more serious issues to develop.
Many common issues associated with poor gut health include, but are not limited to the following;
– Upset Stomach
– Intolerance of Certain Foods
– Fluctuating Weight Changes
– Sleep Disturbances
– Constant Fatigue
– Irritation of the Skin
– Autoimmune Issues
Hypothyroidism is often over-diagnosed. Much of the time the issue is poor gut health which is a combination of too much stress and not enough nutrition.
Inflammation
Your gut can be a source of inflammation. This means that some conditions like arthritis, skin issues, and even mental health disorders are caused by inflammatory conditions found in the gut. By addressing your gut health, you can reduce and perhaps even prevent such issues from occurring.
Arthritis for example is commonly caused by the immune system breaking down and attacking healthy tissues. The great the inflammation in the body, the worse the pain from arthritis can be. By eating a diet that includes anti-inflammatory elements, you can help reduce the inflammation and lessen the pain associated with arthritis.
Some things you can do to improve the health of your gut before you experience any unwanted symptom include the following;
– Get Plenty of Sleep
– Lower Stress Levels
– Stay Hydrated
– Reduce Sugar Intake
– Take a Prebiotic or Probiotic Daily
By doing the basics, you can improve the health of your gut and feel better. Adding in exercise is a great way to help lower stress, lose excess weight, and improve digestion as well.
While the health of your gut may not be the cause of arthritis, inflammation, or fatigue, it is important to address such issues for the betterment of your lifestyle. Effective gut health improves wellness, vitality, and helps avoid some chronic issues that otherwise might develop. You may find that the best way to treat a symptom caused by inflammation is to improve your nutritional content which in turn boosts the health of your gut.
