Your gut is key to your overall health. Did you realize that? It is the center of our immune system, digestive system, and even part of our emotions!
According to the Bible in Genesis 43:30, we are told “And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.” Here we see an example as the bowels being the center or seat of emotions. Our Creator knew that so much was driven out of our gut or digestive system, and we can see that in various Scripture verses.
Then from a physical standpoint, we can understand that our immune system is based out of how healthy and how many “good bacteria” we have in our gut. We often support this army of “good bacteria” with probiotics for reinforcements.
We also know that it is part of our digestive tract and can affect things such as acid reflux, allergies, and bowel movements. You may not realize this, but There are actually more nerve cells in the overall digestive system than in the peripheral nervous system!
I share all these facts about our gut to encourage you to take time to maintain a healthy digestive system. How do you do that? Begin by eating foods rich in nutrients such as pasture raised non-gmo meats, fresh vegetables, non-gmo grains, probiotic laden dairy foods, etc. Add in supplements like Digestive Enzymes to help break down your food in your stomach, probiotics to support the “good bacteria”, and L-Glutamine to reduce inflammation of the intestines. Exercise to keep the body moving as well as regular bowel movements to eliminate toxins and waste products are also important.
