gastrointestinal health

Gastrointestinal health refers to the well-being of your digestive system, which includes the stomach and intestines. It influences how efficiently your body breaks down food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates waste. A healthy gut prevents issues like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea and supports overall health, as it also affects immunity and mental well-being. Key factors for maintaining good gastrointestinal health include a balanced diet rich in fiber, staying hydrated, getting regular exercise, managing stress, and avoiding excessive use of medications that may upset the gut, such as certain antibiotics or NSAIDs.
