Gastro Intestinal Health: The gastrointestinal or (GI) tract does more than digest food and contributes to various body systems and functions. Many local doctors take a look at procedures that have been created to help support the GI tract’s health and function, as well as promoting a microbial balance. Research shows that 1 in 4 people in the U.S. has some type of stomach or intestinal problem that is so severe that it actually interferes with the person’s daily activities and lifestyle. Intestinal or digestion problems are referred to as Gastrointestinal (or GI) Disorders and the goal is to achieve digestive wellness. When an optimally working digestive system is on track, an individual is said to be in good health. The GI tract protects the body by detoxifying various toxins and participating in the immunological processes. When the body’s immune system interacts with antibodies and antigens, while combining with supporting the digestion and absorption of nutrients from an individual’s diet.
