If you think gut health involves only digestive issues, think again.

Research shows that gut health is the key to having a healthy brain and body.

So, could the state of your gut affect your mental and physical health? Potentially…YES!

How Gut Health Affects MORE Than Digestion

A healthy gut affects more than just digestion. The gut microbiome is home to trillions of bacteria that help to regulate the immune system, produce hormones, and aid in the digestion of food. A healthy gut contains a diverse range of bacteria that can help protect against disease and improve overall physical health.

The reason gut health affects overall health is nothing short of astounding! It involves the enteric nervous system (ENS) and the vagus nerve.

The ENS often called the “second brain”, is composed of approximately 100 million nerve cells lining the gastrointestinal tract. These cells send messages to the brain and several other significant organs via the vagus nerve.

Thus, it can influence mental, physical, and psychological functions!

These messages are bidirectional, meaning the brain and body communicate with the ENS. Thus, beneficial bacteria in your gut microbiota can influence all aspects of your health.

Scientists estimate that a whopping 70% of the immune system resides in the gut.

How to Improve Gut Health

You must restore gut health to think, feel, and look your best. Here are a few scientifically validated ways improve gut health.

Reduce Stress Levels

Stress has been shown to affect the composition and function of the gut microbiome. Research suggests it can make the gut lining more permeable, allowing harmful substances to leak into the bloodstream and triggering an immune response.

You can never eliminate stress from your life, nor should you want to.

However, stress can motivate you to complete a project and achieve your goals. It’s that unnecessary chronic stress you need to reduce.

Fortunately, there are several ways to manage stress levels.

Eat a Better Diet

The right type of diet has many gut health benefits.

For example, the foods you eat can encourage or inhibit the growth of healthy bacteria, which can improve every bodily function.

High-Fiber Foods/Prebiotic Foods

Eating a high-fiber diet supplies your body with various nutrients regulates bowel function, and leads to the production of short-chain fatty acids and other essential postbiotic metabolites.

How?

The helpful bacteria in your lower colon ferment the soluble fiber you consume and then excrete postbiotics like butyrate. Experts believe that the health benefits attributed to probiotics come from postbiotics.

Most fiber foods contain both types of fiber — soluble and insoluble — so you don’t have to worry about finding a highly soluble source. You should be good to go if you eat various fiber foods.

Some great prebiotic food choices include:

Fermented Foods

Fermented foods will increase the number of beneficial bacteria in your gut. Therefore, fermented foods are, by definition, probiotic foods.

Some great fermented food choices include:

Reduce or Eliminate These Foods…

Try to reduce or eliminate foods that spur gut health problems.

These foods destroy beneficial gut bacteria while feeding harmful intestinal bugs:

Do You Need to Take Probiotic Supplements?

Probiotic supplements are popular and prevalent today.

According to Grand View Research:

“The global probiotics market size was valued at USD 58.17 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5% from 2021 to 2030. The market is driven by the growing consumer inclination towards preventive healthcare in conjunction with the development of efficient probiotic strains.”

So, their popularity isn’t going to wane anytime soon. However, they usually contain just a few strains of good bacteria.

Plus, the digestive system often destroys them before they reach the large intestine defeating the purpose. The solution?

Take Viscera-3™: The Gut Healing Powerhouse!

Why is fiber so good for your health? It feeds good bacteria. When bacteria eat fiber, they excrete POSTBiotics.

Experts believe that POSTBiotics are responsible for most health benefits of high-fiber diets.

Viscera-3™ contains what Harvard researchers call the “optimal” POSTBotic, TRIbutyrate.

It bypasses the bacterial fermentation process and goes right to work, promoting effective digestion, supporting a healthy brain, reducing inflammation, and improving overall health.
