It has a significant impact on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/gut-microbiome-and-health\">many different aspects of health<\/a>, from digestion and nutrient absorption to immune function and mental health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u200b\u200bYour gut is the gateway to health,\u201d Dr. Myers said. \u201cIf your gut isn\u2019t healthy, you cannot achieve optimal health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A large portion of your body\u2019s immune cells are located in the gut. When your gut is in good health, it lets only good-for-you micronutrients in and keeps all the bacteria inside balanced. But when your gut isn\u2019t healthy, it can let in harmful pathogens and toxins that can lead to you getting sick. Poor gut health has been <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4752653\/\">linked with a variety of health concerns<\/a> ranging from IBS and arthritis to mood disorders and cognitive dysfunctions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51ODTlJO+fL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Within our gut area (the stomach and intestines) is the second-largest network of neurons within our body\u2019s nervous system called the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/nrgastro.2016.107\">enteric nervous system<\/a>. This nervous system is very powerful (second only to the central nervous system, and even some scientists are debating that point) and is capable of both receiving information from and giving information to the brain.<\/p>\n<p>It makes sense, then, that your gut produces <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/monitor\/2012\/09\/gut-feeling\">nearly 95% of your body\u2019s serotonin<\/a>. Serotonin is often referred to as the \u201cfeel-good\u201d neurotransmitter because it is associated with feelings of well-being, happiness, and contentment. If your gut is unhealthy, your body will have a hard time producing serotonin.<\/p>\n<p>If you are having frequent and\/or severe gut health or digestive issues, you should visit a healthcare practitioner. This could be a sign of an underlying health condition that may need to be treated by a professional.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41TBuHR2CML._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, there are many ways you can support a healthy gut to avoid problems in the first place.
