The Importance of Gut Health
Gut health is characterized by the unique microbial community residing in the intestines, which plays a critical role in overall well-being. Each person harbors about 100 trillion bacteria, forming a unique gut microbiome akin to a fingerprint. The balance of these bacteria influences various bodily functions, including cravings, metabolism, and immune response. Poor dietary choices, particularly the intake of ultra-processed foods, can disrupt this balance, leading to unhealthy cravings and a higher susceptibility to diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
