Gut Health and Your Immune System

roothealthllc



Did you know that 70% of your immune system is in your gut.



 

Have you heard this statistic?

 

It’s true.

 

Of all the immune cells in the human body, 70-80% are located in a place called the GALT, which is lymphatic tissue around the gastrointestinal tract.

 

These immune cells are trained by the gut microbiome, which means…

 

🙌 Healthy Gut Microbiome = Healthy Immune System 🙌

 

Most people never think about it, but eating in a way that supports the gut microbiome is one of the best ways to support your immune system!!

 

Want some ideas for microbiome-friendly foods?

 

🥦 Fiber-rich fruits and vegetables

🥣 Probiotic-rich yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut

🧄 Prebiotic-rich foods like garlic, onions, and bananas

 

Not everyone does well with these foods, depending on many individual factors. Please do not take this as medical advice.

 

Reach out for specific guidance on how to support your immune & gut health in a personalized way.

Unlike 26 other jurisdictions within the United States (23 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), Georgia chooses not to regulate the practice of Naturopathy in any form. As a result, Naturopathic Doctors are not licensed healthcare providers in Georgia and the service of Naturopathy is educational in nature and does not replace the relationship of a primary care provider. In Georgia, Naturopathic Doctors do not manage pharmaceutical medications nor do we prescribe any pharmaceuticals. In non-regulated states, all information provided during the course of our service is intended to educate and empower each and every individual however, it is not intended as medical advice, nor is it intended to replace the advice of a licensed provider.
