New Delhi: Given how much people rely on their 'gut feeling' before they make a big decision, or decide to undertake a venture, the assumption is that keeping the gut healthy may be very important. While 'gut feeling' is just an expression to convey one's intuition or feeling about a certain event or situation, the gut or the gastrointestinal tract still remains one of the most important parts of the body, as it is responsible for a healthy digestion, and transport of food from the mouth, to the other organs of the digestive system.
A healthy diet is one of the key factors associated with a healthy gut. The gut lining has microorganisms such as bacteria living in it, and these help in the breakdown of food as well. When you consume foods that boost the health and efficiency of the gut bacteria, your digestion improves. However, there are more ways to improve gut health as well, apart from diet.
