The Gut-Immune Connection
Gut Health and Your Immune System
Many people don’t realize that a large percentage of the immune system actually resides in the gut. During The Gut-Immune Connection Email Series, we will highlight how important it is to optimize your gut health in order to keep your immune system running strong, and the role of eating for optimal gut health and immune function.
A healthy digestive system breaks down foods and liquids into carbohydrates, fats, and proteins so the body can absorb them as nutrients for growth and energy. It also contains much of the body’s immune system, protecting against pathogens or other toxic substances consumed in food or water.
As with all complicated systems, the human digestive tract doesn’t always run smoothly. Problems caused by genetics, pathogenic microbes, or dysregulation of the immune system may cause gastrointestinal distress. With more research coming to the forefront, it’s becoming clear that the relationship goes both ways - if the digestive system is not nourished properly, the immune system suffers as well.
