Why digestive health matters more than ever
Your gut does more than digest food. It plays a major role in immunity, mood, skin health, and even hormone balance. With today’s busy routines, high stress levels, and reliance on processed foods, taking care of your digestive system is more important than ever.
In this article, we’ll explore why gut health is so essential, how your daily choices and probiotics can make a difference, and how Lewtress supplements can help keep your digestion on track.
The Role of Your Gut
Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiome. These microbes influence digestion, metabolism, and immunity — in fact, nearly 70% of your immune system resides in your gut. Keeping this ecosystem balanced is critical for overall health.
A healthy, diverse microbiome produces short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which reduce inflammation, strengthen the gut lining, and even support heart and brain health. But when gut bacteria become imbalanced, it can trigger bloating, fatigue, mood swings, skin problems, and weaker immunity.
How to Support Digestive Health
1. Eat to Feed Your Gut
Choose a fibre-rich, plant-forward diet with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and fermented foods like kombucha or sauerkraut. These nourish beneficial gut bacteria. At the same time, cut back on ultra-processed foods and refined sugars, which can damage the microbiome.
2. Add Targeted Probiotics
Probiotics help restore balance, especially after antibiotics or during flare-ups. Strains such as Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium lactis HN019 are backed by research for easing digestive discomfort and supporting gut lining integrity.
3. Stay Hydrated
Water helps fibre do its job, prevents constipation, and ensures smooth digestion. Aim for at least 6–8 glasses daily, or more if you’re physically active.
4. Manage Stress
The gut and brain are closely linked. Stress can disrupt digestion and gut flora. Relaxation techniques like meditation, light exercise, or deep breathing can calm your system — and your gut.
