The Gut-Immune Connection: Why a Healthy Gut is Key to Staying Well

The gut is more than just a digestion hub—it’s a key immune organ. With over 70% of the body’s immune cells residing in the gut, maintaining digestive health is foundational for immunity.

How Gut Health Influences Immunity
-Microbiome Diversity: A rich variety of beneficial bacteria enhances immune tolerance and lowers inflammation.
- Barrier Integrity: A healthy gut lining prevents pathogens and toxins from entering the bloodstream.
- Communication Network: Gut microbes interact with immune cells to trigger appropriate responses.
