Gut Health
That’s the most basic formula for a healthy digestive tract.
Proper intestinal motility means that the digesting food moves smoothly along the length of the intestines until it can be eliminated. Muscles and nerves work together to make it happen, but when something goes wrong, you can feel the effects as bloating, cramping, diarrhea, or constipation.
Dietary fiber plays an important role in motility. While most Americans believe they consume enough fiber, surveys show that only 5% of the population really does.
This has led health researchers and educators to identify a fiber gap in the American diet and propose ways to close it. One recommendation is to simply add one more serving of a high-fiber food to one meal each day.

Keep it cool
Keeping it cool means shutting down inflammatory processes that occur in the gastrointestinal tract. Many chronic gastrointestinal disorders, such as Crohn’s disease and Inflammatory Bowel Disease, feature inflammation. Controlling inflammation helps protect tissues, prevent damage, and ease symptoms. An anti-inflammatory diet, especially one that controls blood sugar, is essential, and phytosterols and certain herbs can also reduce inflammation.
Your intestines are home to what should be a thriving community of bacteria that enhances immunity, manufactures neurotransmitters for the brain, and helps to fully digest food. Balancing this microbiome by promoting beneficial bacteria and eliminating harmful yeast and bacteria overgrowth can improve your digestion and your overall health.
