Hello Readers!
The Gastrointestinal Tract, or GI tract, is commonly known as the GUT. It is made up of hollow organs joined together from your mouth to the anus. The organs that are included in the GI tract are the mouth, esophagus (food pipe), stomach, intestine (small and large both), and anus.
The food that we eat is digested and passes through our GI tract. Thus, simply whatever we eat directly influence the health of our gut or gastrointestinal tract.
Let us see it in detail!
How To Identify A Healthy Gut?
A healthy gut is symbolized by the following features:
Why It Is Necessary To Have A Healthy Gut?
Good Gut health ensure good immunity, mental clarity and cognition, good mood, better energy levels, and restful sleep. Thus, having good gut health is necessary for all and especially for children.
Seventy percent of the immune system is in the gut and it is responsible for giving children the armor to fight infections and contagious diseases. Also, a healthy gut ensures no micronutrient deficiencies such as anemia, and low vitamin D and B levels.
How To Ensure A Good Gut Health?
Let us see at some of the eating habits that when changed by a person, can help, him/her improve their gut health. Following are the eating habits that must be changed:
No To Gut Destroyers!
Say no to consuming packaged and processed food (food additives and colors, refined grains, liquid oils, excess sugar inflame the gut) and replace it with freshly-made breakfast and snacks.
Eat Plants For Plant Enzymes And Fiber!
Children can be encouraged to add more vegetables and salads in interesting forms such as topping them with healthy cheese, olive oil, homemade dressing (made with honey, vinegar, mustard seeds, turmeric), hummus, etc.
Vegetables can be cooked as soups, broths, and cutlets or marinated and skewered in an oven, baked with cheese, or just made in curries. All these forms of vegetables are delicious as part of main meals.
Serve The Beneficial Bacteria!
A serving of fermented food such as homemade mango and lemon pickle, kanji, kokum, or mint chutney and set curds and buttermilk made at home can be encouraged. The emphasis is on homemade food here because they are free from preservatives and additives.
In addition to the above changes in food habits, individuals and children must also be encouraged to eat their food by chewing properly and hydrating themselves well to aid digestion. Just remember a healthy gut means a happy life!
Stay Informed! Stay Healthy! Stay Happy!
Thank You!
