IBS, Acid Reflux, Ulcers, Bloating, Constipation—10 Superfoods You Should Eat To Heal Your GUT
Problems
The digestive process is seemingly very simple.
It starts by putting food in the mouth, chewing it up, and swallowing.
Then, the body processes the food, uses the components it needs, and the rest is excreted
as waste.
However, digestion is basically quite complex processed that can be easily disrupted on
a variety of factors, from nit chewing the food properly, lacking stomach acid or enzymes,
or lacking the balance of microbes to digest the food the right way.
If your diet is based on GMO and sugar-rich foods, your gut will become inflamed, potentially
leaky, and increases the risk of both acute and chronic health conditions.
The good news is that adding digestive superfoods to your diet can go a long way towards reversing
the damage.
