Why is gut health important?

All of the nutrients our body needs to stay healthy are absorbed through our intestine. Apart from digesting the food we eat to provide the body with essential nutrients, the intestines also remove waste materials and toxins. Keeping our gut healthy is essential in order to keep our body healthy.

Gut health is becoming increasingly important as we are more inclined to consume high fat and low fibre diet. Such diet creates an imbalance of "good" bacteria versus "bad" bacteria in the gut. This has been shown to have a direct link to the rise of chronic diseases.
