HOW POOR GUT HEALTH LEADS TO POOR HEART HEALTH
This article is part of both the Heart Health Series & The Gut Health Guide & Protocol.
It hasn’t been understood by most people just how vital our gut health is to our heart health.
But in truth, it’s key. If our gut health is good, and our digestive tract working properly, the risk of poor heart health is much lower.
If our gut is in poor condition, however (heart burn or acid reflux often, bloating, pains, regular diarrhea, or worse), then this will, over time, lead to poor heart health.
But gut health among Americans has diminished drastically in recent times, worsening every year mainly due to our processed foods and sugars, and the 50x increase in toxins in our environment in the last 7 decades.
Now, younger and younger people every year are experiencing more and more gut issues which were rare even in older individuals in earlier generations.
And along with them, they're experiencing more cardiovascular issues.
This is something we need to address now, for each of us, to ensure a long and healthy life.
