When considering health, we frequently emphasize the heart, brain, or lungs, but what about the gastrointestinal system? It is the concealed powerhouse of the body. Maintaining a healthy gut can lead to a robust immune system, improved digestion, more energy, and an elevated mood.
Dr. Srikanth Gadiyaram, a leading gastrointestinal surgeon in Bangalore, Karnataka, India, is pioneering enhanced gastrointestinal care at Sahasra Hospitals, Jayanagar.
Why Gut Health Matters
Your gut isn’t just only about food digestion—it’s also about:-
- Nutrient absorption
The gastrointestinal tract digests food and absorbs essential components, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. An optimally functioning gut is essential; otherwise, even the most nutritious diet may prove inadequate. Suboptimal gut health may result in inadequacies that impact energy levels, skin condition, and organ functionality.
- Immune defense
The lining of the gut serves as a barrier that protects the body from harmful pathogens, and the microbiome, which is comprised of healthy bacteria, is present in the gut and plays an important part in the defense against these pathogens. Your immune system is better able to fight off infections, inflammation, and even autoimmune diseases when your gut is healthy.
- Hormonal balance
The gut plays a direct role in hormone regulation, particularly concerning hormones associated with hunger, metabolism, and stress. The gut microbiome plays a role in the regulation of insulin, cortisol, and estrogen levels. An imbalanced gut may lead to weight gain, fatigue, mood fluctuations, and irregular cycles.
- Mental health
The term “gut-brain relationship ” refers to the relationship that has been created between the brain and the digestive system. It is the stomach is responsible for manufacturing more than 90 percent of the serotonin that is produced by the body. Serotonin is an essential hormone for the regulation of mood. When the gut is healthy, it improves concentration, reduces anxiety, and maintains a stable mood. In contrast, abnormalities in the stomach have been linked to mental health conditions such as depression and cognitive impairment, as well as less than optimal quality sleep.
A healthy gut means a healthy you.
Whether you’re dealing with digestive issues, low immunity, or unexplained fatigue, your gut may be the starting point to restoring balance and feeling better. When things go wrong in the digestive system, the impact can be felt throughout the body.
