“AN UNHEALTHY GUT = AN UNHEALTHY YOU”
WHY?!
– If you are not digesting and absorbing efficiently your body will not receive the nutrients necessary to maintain healthy cells and organs.
– 70-80% of your immune system relies on a healthy gut wall and healthy bacteria within the gut.
– 80% of our serotonin – happy hormone, and 50% of our dopamine – pleasure and reward – is produced in a healthy gut.
– If you have a toxic, unhealthy, constipated bowel, you can reabsorb the toxins back into your blood stream, putting a further strain on your organs, particularly your liver.
– A constipated, impacted bowel provides a perfect breeding ground for bad bacteria and yeasts to proliferate.
– Unhealthy gut bacteria is linked to anxiety, depression, poor sleep, brain fog, lack of enthusiasm…..etc.
– An unhealthy gut can eventually lead to Leaky Gut, linked to chronic inflammation and all autoimmune disease.
– Leaky Gut = Leaky Brain. This could be behind Dementia, Alzheimers, ADHD, and there has also been researched links to Bi-polar and Schizophrenia…THE LIST IS ENDLESS
The problem in the Western World, is that we are being bombarded with things every day that kill off our healthy gut bacteria and create inflammation in the gut wall…pesticides, sugar, anti-bacterial cleaning products, pain killers, alcohol, wheat, bad fats, sweeteners, stress hormones, ‘The Pill’ and the biggest culprit of all is antibiotics, which literally wipe out all of the good guys.
Stress, and the ‘fight or flight’ hormone, Cortisol, has a massive negative impact on how well we digest and absorb our food, and also on the bowel and how well we eliminate. This is why stressed people will often have constipation, bloating, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other gut and digestion problems.MOST
