Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract
The Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract is a complex and vital system responsible for digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination. It forms the foundation of overall health, influencing energy levels, metabolism, and immunity.
A well-functioning GI tract ensures optimal nutrient utilization and efficient detoxification, while an imbalanced gut can contribute to symptoms such as bloating, acidity, constipation, fatigue, and inflammation.
Factors like stress, poor dietary choices, food sensitivities, and irregular eating patterns can disrupt digestive harmony. Supporting the GI system through targeted nutrition, balanced lifestyle, and gut-healing foods is essential to restoring digestive integrity and promoting long-term wellness.
