The Significance of Digestive Health

Our digestive system, often referred to as the gut, plays a pivotal role in supporting overall health. It encompasses over 70% of the body’s immune system and houses ten times more bacteria than the total number of cells in our entire body, forming what is known as the gut microbiome.

The microbiome consists of various bacterial species, categorized as either friendly or pathogenic. These bacteria line the gut wall, serving as a barrier to prevent toxins and harmful substances from entering the body. Ideally, maintaining a balance where there is a higher proportion of good bacteria (estimated at 85%) to bad bacteria (15%) is crucial. Any disturbance in this balance can lead to digestive symptoms like bloating or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Modern lifestyle stresses have been identified as factors that can reduce levels of friendly bacteria, potentially allowing unfriendly bacteria to dominate. Stressors include a high-sugar diet, alcohol consumption, insufficient or excessive exercise, illness (especially food poisoning), and medications, particularly antibiotics.
