The Importance of Gut Health
Gut health is fundamentally connected to overall body health, impacting various systems including brain function and the immune response. About 70 to 80 percent of the immune system resides in the gut, indicating the vital role it plays in activating immune cells when harmful pathogens enter the body. This communication between gut microbes and immune cells is critical to maintaining a balanced immune response. Disruptions in gut health can result in immune disorders, emphasizing the need for a gut-centric approach to health.
