Immune System

Often people want to know ways to get healthy. One of the best ways to keep from getting sick is to eat a proper diet and ensure that your digestive system is working properly. 70% of your immune system is in your gut so the foods that you eat play a huge role in determining your overall health. If you eat foods that are lacking in nutrition or that are inflammatory foods for your body then you are going to have trouble staying healthy. However, if you consume a good diet(which is different for everyone) while avoiding foods that you are sensitive to you will ensure that your immune system functions properly. So what are signs that your gut could be functioning better or that you are eating foods that your body does not do well with. Any type of autoimmune disorder is a dead give away that you have been eating foods that your body does not like. This could be anything from arthritis, type 1 diabetes, thyroid disorders , eczema, psoriasis, celiac disease, chron's disease, or allergies. All of these disorders and many others come from eating the wrong foods. Other signs that your gut is not functioning properly are digestive issues such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, gas, indigestion, and heartburn.
