Top 5 signs of good digestive health.<\/h1>\n

Do you know what good digestive health looks like? Or indeed, what it feels like?<\/p>\n

Your digestive system is one of the most important structures in your body. Through digestion you extract the nutrients, vitamins and electrons you need to live an energised, nourished and balanced life.<\/em><\/h3>\n

Your emotional health is also linked to your gut health, which is governed largely by the bacteria \u2014 otherwise known as microbiome \u2014 in your intestines.<\/p>\n

When your gut health is good, you\u2019ll feel balanced. When it\u2019s off, you\u2019ll most-likely experience unpleasant symptoms like constipation, diarrhoea, belching, bloating and gas, and your emotional health will also go awry.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s more to the saying \u201cgo with your gut\u201d than decision-making alone. Your gut is truly your body\u2019s compass.<\/p>\n

In a bid to help you to recognise the signs of good digestive health, and in turn to understand when your digestive system is not functioning well, we\u2019ve put together a cheat sheet for you.<\/p>\n

1.<\/h1>\n

You have 2 – 3 bowel movements a day.<\/b><\/p>\n

Keeping track of your bowel movements is one of the best indicators you have of how well your digestive system is working.<\/p>\n

If your digestive system is working well, you can expect to have a bowel movement 2 – 3 times a day.<\/p>\n

If, however you are consistently constipated, or you have diarrhoea often, it\u2019s a clear sign that something is going awry with your digestive health. In most cases it is due to a bacterial and fungal overgrowth creating gas, bloating and IBS like symptoms.<\/p>\n
