It is likely that a long time is not passed thinking your instinct, unless that causes you discomfort. Of course, I'm not thinking about my instincts when I was eating fast food and sugary drinks. But when it began to cause problems, I began to notice.
Often we focus on the things we see on the outside, and thinking about heart health, and cancer prevention; poor gastrointestinal tract does not get much attention. The digestive tract or bowel, is related to all aspects of their health. I hope that with this in mind, you will begin to give you a little more love. Here are some reasons.
Your gut ...
It is the first contact between the outside world and internal environment. He is the guardian of what happens in your body.
Health is necessary for the health of all other areas of your body.
It provides a home to a multitude of organisms that help maintain immune balance and make nutrients available for the rest of your body.
It maintains the microorganisms in balance, so that you do not get sick.
Decomposes and assimilates carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals so that your body can use to perform optimally.
It has toxins and other essential elements to keep your body functioning at its best.
Regulates body composition to help maintain a healthy weight.
I'll give a brief explanation of some functions of the intestine to help understand its importance.
1. Gut is the doorkeeper
The gut runs the entire length of his body from the mouth to the anus. It works to digest, break down and absorb food. In fact, it is considered outside the body, as it is open to the outside environment at each end. This is of course different from other systems in the body. Two areas where this goalkeeper is to keep you healthy include the mucus layer and the tight junctions of the intestine. The mucus layer in the intestine contains immune cells and proteins having an antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses and fungi. These provide both a protective layer against bacterial invasion. In addition, there tight junctions in the intestines that allows nutrients to pass through, but prevents larger molecules in inflammation prevent bloodstream that could occur in an area of ​​the body from the intestine to the joints to their brain.
2. Gut healthy = healthy body
Just a way of thinking about how a healthy gut equals a healthy body is to discuss the importance of nutrients for cell function. It is crucial for your body to digest and assimilate the food you eat. This is the process of absorption of vitamins and minerals and other food components in the intestine. Only two examples of important nutrients for cell function include vitamins necessary for energy production and antioxidant vitamins (vitamins E or C, among many others) to protect against DNA damage B complex. Each group of food you eat contains a lot of nutrients that allow your body to function optimally. Without not only consumption, but absorption of these nutrients, dysfunction arises.
3. The role of Gut microbe
There are 500 to 1,000 different species of bacteria in the gut. The intestinal microbiome plays a role in many functions, including digestion of carbohydrates, the development of the immune system, the synthesis of vitamins, fat storage, and defense against infection. Although the human genome is stable throughout life, human microbiome is affected by your diet and lifestyle. A study published in the journal Nutrition in Clinical Practice in 2012 argues that a high-fat, sugar-rich diet will significantly alter the composition of the intestinal microbiota in 1-3 days. Sorry to say that the return to the standard American diet on holidays or weekends may actually impact your healthy gut you feed so the rest of his days. And finally, it may be an impact on important functions that are associated with a healthy intestinal microbiome.
Do you understand why you should care? A healthy gut is not only to avoid stomach problems. If the gut is out of balance, which affect almost all body systems. It's really important.
Next time - look for specific advice to eat to feed your gut.
