What is Gut Health? Why is everyone talking about it?
Recently, “Gut Health” has become a global health trend. Scientists have found that
the health of your gut affects both your body and mind.
Gut Health refers to the health of the digestive system, especially the intestines.
The key factor is the balance of microorganisms in the gut, known as the microbiome, which consists of trillions of microbes.
These include:
- Good bacteria
- Harmful bacteria
When good bacteria dominate, the body functions more efficiently.
However, an imbalance can lead to health problems.
