A healthy functioning gut is able to easily and effectively break down and process all the nutrients and fluids we consume and remove waste products efficiently. Healthy microbes flourish in a healthy gut, however, when gut health is poor, dysbiosis (an imbalance in the microbes living in our gut) can occur and may result in bloating, indigestion, constipation, or diarrhoea. Furthermore, a poor functioning gut may result in food intolerances, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and mood disorders. [2]
Ever heard of the gut-brain axis? Your gut and brain are connected physically through millions of nerves, most importantly the Vagus Nerve (which represents the main component of the parasympathetic nervous system, overseeing a vast array of crucial bodily functions (including control of mood, immune response, digestion, and heart rate).
