A healthy gut can reduce gastrointestinal problems.
As the intestines break down food, it provides nutrients to the body.
It is important to monitor the health of the intestines, as this is associated with the normal functioning of the immune, endocrine, and also cardiovascular systems.
Gut health also affects normal brain function. A person’s mood and mental health depend on this.
Research suggests that gut bacteria are linked to depression.

Greek yogurt is good for your gut health. It is a good source of protein and probiotics.
Choose a sugar-free product. Top your yogurt with fresh or frozen berries, fruits, and add nuts and grains to your plate.
Other foods that contain probiotics are also useful - kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha.
