Wednesday: Gut Check: The Key to Wellness and Why Additives Matter

Your gut is more than just where food gets digested—it’s the command center for your overall health. From regulating your immune system to influencing mood and energy levels, your gut plays a crucial role in how you feel every day. Unfortunately, modern diets filled with harmful additives, including artificial dyes and seed oils, can wreak havoc on this delicate system.

Why Gut Health Matters:

• Immune Support: Did you know 70% of your immune system resides in your gut? A healthy gut helps protect against illness and promotes resilience.

• Mental Clarity and Mood: The gut-brain connection means that a balanced gut can reduce stress and improve focus.

• Energy and Digestion: Efficient digestion leads to better nutrient absorption, fueling your body effectively.

How Additives Disrupt Your Gut:

• Artificial Dyes: Linked to inflammation and irritation in the gut lining, these can compromise your digestive system’s integrity.

• Seed Oils: High in omega-6 fatty acids, these oils can increase gut inflammation and disrupt the microbiome.

• Processed Sugars: Common in many products, these feed harmful bacteria, throwing off the balance of your gut microbiota.
