How to improve Gut Health

Introduction:

Human gut system and microbiota is extraordinary system. It has some trillions of microbiota pre and probiotics. This is highly beneficial for digestion process and immunity. It coordinated with other body systems. Many food items goes into this system for digestion process. Our system makes it digestion complex to simpler and utilization for energy. For digestion involved many critical processes. Gut health  makes significant effect on overall health. (1)

Our Gut Health:

In our digestive system has good and bad microbes. Microbes which play crucial role in digestion process. Its very important to understand about gut health. How foods effect on digestive process, how probiotics responds with food we take. How to balance the microbiome in gut flora. The right food which helps to probiotics makes gut maintain good health (2)

How to improve Gut Health

Bacteria at your GUT: Good and bad bacteria equally balance the function in gut area. Both are also needed. Gut health can able to boost our immunity. If digestion process well our immunity is also good. Up to 70% of immunity depends on our digestive health.  Our nervous system closely connected with our gut health also. Our gut microbial helps to prepare some important vitamins. Good and healthy gut helps to absorb the nutrients properly. (3)

Regulation of Immunity System:

Microbes normally they will host our cells for their survivals, in this scenario pathogens Bad bacteria also trying to host our cells. But for food decomposition is needed. Not in the digestive area. It it enters in small intestine it will disturb or hurt the normal cellular function of the host cell. For Immunity we get help with good bacteria, protect the cells from pathogens. And protect the cells from autoimmune disorders by controlling mechanisms. (4)

Brain and gut aligning: Gut brain axis is closely interrelated each other. This link identified which influence on anxiety and depression. The Impact of gut brain activity more relevant and important. Scientists are believing that gut healthy is linked to the brain health. Serotonin secretes in gut. Serotonin abnormality cause for depression. And anxiety also increased if increased gut irritations. (5)

Gut Health Relates Overall Health:

Microbes density and survival is very crucial for healthy gut. Digestive system is primary system, it digest the food and supply to other organs. Our overall health is starts by the mouth of digestive system. In Addition of right nutrients and maintain the pre and probiotics. Makes healthier microbial flora develops proper digestion and right environment. This shows the impact of overall health.

Make your Gut Healthy.

To be survive the microbial flora needs to be maintain with good PH, right nutrient and good hydration is required. Prebiotics are considered as foods that food are mainly fiber, as we already know that prebiotics are food for probiotics. These prebiotics are need for the survival as food for the probiotics. Probiotics are live bacteria we will get it from the fermented foods. (6)The harmful bacteria  also needed. Over limit of bad bacteria chance to produce toxins, that enters in blood stream.

Healthy Gut Needs:

Having fiber in our diet helps to keep our gut healthy, by taking more water, fresh vegetables and fresh fruits. The fermented foods are more helpful for digestive health. The good bacteria needs sufficient hydration for survival. Regular and frequent water needed. So, digestive microbial flora keeps to hydrated. and also. Digestive system which manages the mental health like depression and anxiety, and also required for strong immunity. (7)

S.NO Fruits Fiber Content (per 100g) Vegetables Fiber Content (per 100g)
1 Guava 5.4 g Green peas 5.1 g
2 Raspberries 6.5 g Carrots 2.8 g
3 Pear (with skin) 3.1 g Sweet potatoes 3 g
4 Apple (with skin) 2.4 g Spinach 2.2 g
5 Pomegranate 4 g Cauliflower 2 g
6 Avocado 6.7 g Beetroot 2.8 g

Conclusion:

The dietary concept now evolved with scientific evidence, that helps us to understand well about our diet and gut health, fiber role is essential in digestive health role, to boost your immunity need to keep healthy.
