Delicious and Nutritious Smoothie Recipes Using Our Superfood Powder
Why gut health is important
The gut breaks down the foods you eat and absorbs nutrients that support your body’s functions. The importance of the gut to our overall health is a topic of increasing research in the medical community. Research is showing us that our gut microbiome can affect every organ in our body.
It is understood that there are links between gut health and:
endocrine disorders – such as type 2 diabetes
gastrointestinal disorders – such as irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease
digestion.
A higher level of diversity in gut bacteria is an important indicator of the health of your microbiome. While research is ongoing, it appears that your gut health plays an important role in your overall health.

Your 'gut' refers to your gastrointestinal system, which includes your stomach, small intestine and large intestine.

The symptoms of poor gut health include a bloated stomach, heartburn, abdominal pain (a sore tummy) excessive burping, flatulence (farting), a growling stomach, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea.
