Organs such as the stomach, oesophagus, and intestines facilitate our digestive system. These organs work together to enable the digestion of food without any discomfort. The food consumed is then broken down into small particles that enter the bloodstream and are transferred as nutrients to the other parts of the body.<\/p>\n<h3><strong id=\"Symptoms-of-bad-gut-health\">Symptoms of Bad Gut Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-64156 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Symptoms-of-bad-gut-health.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A healthy gut contains healthy microbiomes like bacteria in the large intestine that wards off infectious fungi, bacteria and virus. These microbiomes also produce several nutrients and metabolites that help the body remove harmful wastes.<\/p>\n<p>When your digestive system feels uneasy, it is most likely to exhibit the following symptoms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6>Bloating<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Constipation<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Bloody stools<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Loose stools<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Heartburn<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Nausea and vomiting<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Too much of a certain bad bacteria in your gut microbiome can also cause Crohn\u2019s Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or Ulcerative Colitis.<\/p>\n<h3><strong id=\"Diabetes-and-gut-health\">Diabetes and Gut Health<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-63903 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Diabetes-and-gut-health.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to many studies, <strong>diabetes<\/strong>, one of the fastest-growing diseases in the world, is also caused due to bad gut health. The abnormal and imbalanced production of metabolites becomes a part of the blood circulation, and they are responsible for <strong>diabetes mellitus<\/strong>. Individuals with Type 2 <strong>diabetes<\/strong> are unable to regulate glycaemia, as they do not produce enough insulin. As a result, cells do not absorb sugar efficiently, and blood sugar level rises, which can cause damage to internal organs.<\/p>\n<p>Consuming more calories, carbohydrates and saturated fats alter the microbiome balance, reducing the beneficial bacteria and increasing the bacteria that accumulates toxin in the body. This further leads to <strong>obesity<\/strong> and increases the risk of being diagnosed with <strong>type 2 diabetes<\/strong>. The toxins increase levels of triglycerides and LDL.<\/p>\n<h3><strong id=\"How-to-keep-your-gut-healthy\">How to Keep Your Gut Healthy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here is how you can keep your gut healthy:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-64037 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/How-to-keep-your-gut-healthy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h6>Consume food rich in fibre, such as fruits, green leafy vegetables, beans, millets, whole grains, and lentils.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Include probiotics in your diet in the form of buttermilk, cheese, yogurt, curd, or pickled vegetables like onions.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Include prebiotics such as bananas, artichokes, garlic, soybeans, asparagus and leeks.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Avoid eating fried food.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h6>Avoid alcohol and caffeine-related products.<\/h6>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Apart from a planned dietary intervention, faecal microbiota transplantation can also be a potential therapeutic approach to contain diabetes mellitus.
