If you haven’t yet clocked that gut health is one of the most important aspects of a healthy life, then sit down and order some sauerkraut because what’s going on in there has a monumental effect on who you are, how you feel, and what you look like.
According to a landmark international study, our diet, the microbes in our guts, and our overall health are intricately connected. Incredibly, what’s in our guts offers a stronger indication of our risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity than even our genetic predispositions. This builds on a 2019 study demonstrating “profound implications” in the link between diet and disease.
There’s no wonder that longevity experts focus on gut health, including Dr. Mark Hyman, who recently told GQ, “If you have a million-dollar racehorse, you’re going to make sure you know how to train it and feed it and take care of it so it’s fully optimized… We don’t do that with our bodies. We feed it all kinds of crap. We eat fries and junk and sugar, and we don’t think about the consequences of how we feel now or how we’re going to feel as we get older.”
If you didn’t get the memo, it’s cool to care about gut health. We aren’t talking about weight loss here, but rather an intricate system that—if kept in balance—drastically impacts your general health, mental well-being, and ability to get fit.
What is ‘gut health’ and why should we care?
“‘Gut health’ refers to the overall wellness of our gastrointestinal tract. This encompasses the region between one’s mouth and bottom,” says Gregory Thomas, a consultant colorectal surgeon at The Princess Grace Hospital.
