The Importance of Digestive Health
Our digestive system is known for its role in breaking down our food, assimilation and absorption of nutrients, and elimination. However, it also has many other vital functions that have an impact on our overall wellness.
Furthermore, our gut is the home to trillions of microbes, collectively known as the gut microbiome. These belly bugs are the key regulators of how our gastrointestinal (GI) health affects our physiology and psychology. They produce metabolites and neurochemicals that influence most of our organs and have bi-directional communication to the brain via the gut-brain axis.
Due to the wide-reaching impact our gut has on our mind-body, it can be said that all diseases and imbalances have a GI component. Therefore, supporting our “inner tube” is critical for addressing any illness or health condition.
Thankfully, there are many natural options for supporting a healthy belly. One of my favorites is essential oils.
