If there’s one thing to know about the human body; it’s this: the human body has a ringmaster. This ringmaster controls your digestion, your immunity, your brain, your weight, your health, and even your happiness. This ringmaster is the gut. — Nancy Mure
Processed and high-sugar diets are detrimental to the gut microbiota in today’s world. It has long-term effects on our immune system, weight, hormones imbalance, mental health, and even cancer.
We are extremely concentrated on making more money, and as a result, we are sleep-deprived.
Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses make up the microbiome. They’re important for the digestive and immune systems. There are billions of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms in your gut microflora.
Here are the five most common signs of an unhealthy gut.
5- You have an upset stomach
One of the most prevalent indicators of a weak gut is an uneasy stomach. If you frequently have bowel problems such as constipation, diarrhea, gas, or bloating, you should consult a doctor about your unhealthy gut.
A healthy stomach will quickly eliminate waste without causing discomfort.
4- A high-sugar diet
Sugar is the sociopath of foods. It acts sweet, but it’s really poison. — Unknown
Do you know that eating a lot of sugar can cause to increase in many harmful bacteria in the gut?
Sugar can also cause to create inflammation in the body to develop other health conditions.
If you are craving sugar, there is a possibility of bad bacteria in your gut. That imbalance craves for the sugar to damage your gut more in the long run. Try to avoid refined sugar as much as you can.
3- Sleep disturbances or constant fatigue
We all know that an adult needs 7–8 hours of quality sleep each day. Sleep plays a pivotal role in recharging our bodies.
Any unhealthy gut can cause to create sleep disturbance which can create more issues or maybe chronic fatigue. Study shows that hormones that affect sleep and mood are also made in the gut.
Keeping schedules, maintaining routines, practicing breathing and relaxation exercises, moving your body, and getting outside — these are a few things we can do to keep moving forward. Disconnecting from the news and negative stories on TV and social media will help, too — Dr. Francis
2- You feel tired more often
If you’re experiencing chronic tiredness, this is the second most prevalent indicator; perhaps your gut is damaged, which means it’s having a hard time obtaining nourishment from food — the imbalance of healthy bacteria in your gut is making you feel tired all of the time.
1- You have unintentional weight gain or loss
The imbalanced gut can cause a decrease or increase in weight because it is hard for the gut to absorb nutrition from the food.
Study shows that weight gain or loss can cause bad bacteria overgrowth in the gut or lack of nutrition.
The bottom line
Don’t take your health for granted. First and foremost, make sleep a priority. Your health cannot wait for that project, assignment, or next bonus. If you see any of these symptoms, make an appointment with your doctor immediately to determine the core reason.
Only a healthy person, according to my grandma, could help someone. Stay healthy!
