The One Thing To Eat For A Healthy Digestive System

You probably know by know that your diet and lifestyle habits have an effect on gut health. Here are 10 ways your body lets you know that your digestive system is unhealthy.

November 16, 2017

You probably know by know that your diet and lifestyle habits have an effect on gut health. But how do you know if your digestive system is off-balance in the first place? For example, is feeling bloated and uncomfortable after an unhealthy meal normal?

To curb bloating and general discomfort when it comes to your digestive system, doctors recommend eating probiotics. Probiotics can help improve your gut bacteria and help you avoid digestion problems. So where can you get probiotics? Fermented food of course! 

Fermented foods like kimchi and pickled vegetables contain plenty of probiotics that can help your body’s digestive system. 

However, if you’re looking further, here are 10 ways your body lets you know that your digestive system is unhealthy.

The One Thing To Eat For A Healthy Digestive System
You are overweight and have trouble losing weight
image

Have you have been trying to shed your excess weight for some time, but have not been successful? It might be time to have a check-in with your digestive system. If your gut bacteria is imbalanced, that might be a possible reason why you are not losing the weight despite the exercise and dieting.

You are prediabetic or have developed Type 2 diabetes
image

Recent studies have shown that there is a direct connection between an unhealthy gut and type 2 diabetes. It was found that those with type 2 diabetes had high levels of hostile bacteria that did not support gut health.

You have chronic acne and can’t seem to grow out of it
image

If you are well beyond puberty but still can’t seem to shake off your chronic acne despite the various medications, it might be time to take a look within. What we consume has a direct impact on your skin. And damaging your gut will show on you’re your skin.

You feel irritable and low – despite your life being in order
image

If you’re constantly irritable and it’s not that time of the month, there is a chance that your gut bacteria might be imbalanced. The gut bacteria produce neurotransmitters that could affect the health of your brain.

You suffer from chronic bloating
image

Suffering from chronic bloating is probably one of the most obvious signs that your gut is not as healthy as you think. If this has been an issue despite you changing up your diet, it might be time to get your digestive system checked out.

You have chronic constipation or urgent loose stools
image

A healthy and balanced gut should process digestion in a smooth and easy way. Chronic constipation and urgent loose stools is not a sign of a healthy gut. Maintaining a healthy gut is the way to regulate the elimination process in your gut.

 

Your joints ache
image

An unhealthy balance of bacteria in the gut means your body does not absorb all the nutrients it needs from the foods you consume. This might lead to a lack of energy and aching of joints.

You suffer from asthma attacks
image

If you have asthma, it might have been caused by the bacteria imbalance in your gut at the time of birth. Researchers recommend balancing your gut health to improve asthma symptoms.

You don’t sleep well
image

Our gut stores and regulates serotonin, an essential neurotransmitter that induces and regulates sleeping patterns. Not being able to fall and stay asleep is indicatory that there is chemical imbalance in the gut.

You memory isn’t working as well as it used to
image

Scientists are discovering that there is a correlation with our gut bacteria and our brain. 

The gut is often called the second brain and is home to the nervous system. The nervous system is responsible for sending and receive messages to and fro your brain.
