According to ancient Ayurveda, the key to good vibrant health is a healthy gut. Ayurveda has always focussed on a good lifestyle, diet, physical activities, and natural herbal supplements that would help prevent different ailments and it has always justified the significance of having a healthy gut to lead a longer, fit and beautiful life. It is extremely important to have a nutritious gut that contains healthy bacteria and immune cells that ward off infectious bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Dr.Smita Naram, Co-Founder, Ayushakti told HerZindagi that "intake of probiotics may help in producing bacterias but may not completely help in maintaining the gut, it can only be done by building a robust digestive system through various changes in one’s lifestyle. An imbalance in the gut can be caused due to digestive discomfort, constant fatigue, food intolerances, and mood swings. Regular habits like consumption of heavy and unhealthy junk food, spicy food, and stress create indigestion, therefore, having an adverse effect on one’s body.

"The half-digested food molecules start decaying and create toxic substances leading tosymptoms like colic, acid reflux, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea and heartburn. These unattended symptoms finally create weight changes, sleep disturbances or constant fatigue, skin allergies, pre-diabetic, food intolerance or autoimmune conditions, and severe other ailments.
"Poor gut health harms one’s gut bacteria which can lead to various ailments henceAyurveda suggests five proven tools to restore one’s gut health – Diet, Lifestyle, Home remedy, Herbal formulas, and Detox," she added.
