Your digestive system plays an important role in your overall health. Unhealthy eating habits like eating too quickly, staying hungry for long periods, or eating too many processed foods can lead to undigested food building up in the intestines. This allows bacteria to release toxic chemicals and gases that can damage the stomach lining and enter the bloodstream in a condition called "leaky gut syndrome". Over time, these toxins put stress on the body and allow bacteria and other organisms to multiply, resulting in issues like gas, bloating, constipation, fatigue, pain, and skin disorders. Eating a diet high in fiber from whole foods is important for digestive health as it reduces constipation, bowel issues, and the risk of parasites

HEALTHY DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Give a little attention to your inner heath; they will have an impact not only on your emotions but also
over your overall physical health.
Did you ever give it a thought? We consume antacids to relieve heartburn and indigestion. We suffer
through gas and bloating after meals and not to forget the occasional bout of constipation. But how
does it affect our bodies, Epecially the poor little digestive system? Your digestive system is more
important than you may think, and poor nutrition may not only lead to discomfort, but it can also attract
a host of other issues.
In today’s world it is often hard to control our eating habits, staying with an empty stomach for too long,
eating too quickly or consuming too many processed foods, as these unhealthy eating habits can lead to
a build-up of undigested food in our intestines. When this happens, the bacteria present in our body
joins hands with the undigested food, this churns the release of toxic chemicals and gases. These
internal toxins—or endotoxins—may damage the mucosal lining in the stomach, ultimately allowing
them to enter the rest of the body through the bloodstream. This is known as leaky gut syndrome. Over
a period of time, these toxins result in increasing amounts of stress on the body, and organisms such as
bacteria, viruses, and fungi will then seize the opportunity to multiply and flourish. This can result in
problems such as gas and bloating, constipation, diarrhea, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pain, skin
disorders, and decreased mental clarity.
Clinical research has proven that people who consume a diet high in fiber are less likely to suffer from
constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, and a host of other digestive disorders. High-fiber diets can also
help protect your gastrointestinal system from parasite infestation. The fiber present in whole foods is
an excellent combination of soluble fiber and insoluble fiber.
