Keep your GUT Healthy for Immunity and Wellness

World Digestive Day-May 29th

- Sreemathy Venkatraman

The food we eat has a critical role to play in optimal Gut Health. Why should we focus on Gut health? Have you ever wondered why the older generation like septuagenarian (70 +) or octogenarian (80+) are healthier than the younger generation? We have all read about how active they lead their lives and the faster recovery from infections. This is because of their healthy eating habits, being active in mind and body and leading disciplined lives by following the circadian rhythm (sleep awake cycles).

Good Gut Health also affects our mood feeling lethargic, anxiety, depression, brain fog, irritability and lack of concentration. Feeling light, energetic, active, and buoyant, sense of happiness also depends on the type of food we eat. So the Gut and the Brain are connected and influence our moods to a great extent.
