5 Signs That Tell Your Gut Is Unhealthy And Tips To Improve It

Here are some common signs of an unhealthy gut:

  1. Upset stomach
    Gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and heartburn are all signs of an unhealthy gut.
  2. Bad breath
    “Gut imbalance allows certain types of H. pylori bacteria to take up residence in your GI tract. These bacteria are at the root of many stomach ulcers, and bad breath,”
  3. Breakouts and skin irritations
    An unbalanced microbiome increases your skin’s sensitivity making it more prone to issues like eczema, dermatitis, acne, and psoriasis.
  4. Sleep disturbance
    An inadequate sleep schedule can lead to chronic fatigue, making it difficult to perform day to day activities.
  5. Food intolerances
    Some food intolerances are a result of poor quality of bacteria in the gut.

Tips to maintain a healthy gut

  1. Eat a well-balanced diet with a diverse range of foods that can assist in the growth of diverse microbiome in the gut.
  2. Add enough prebiotic and probiotic to diet. Garlic, apples, banana and berries are some prebiotics whereas yogurt, kimchi and sauerkraut are popular probiotics.
  3. Stress can also affect your gut health. Therefore, try stress management activities like yoga, meditation and more.
  4. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep dehydration at bay. It will also help ensure optimal gut health.
  5. Ensuring a good night’s sleep is another simple way that can help you ensure a healthy gut.
