Poor gut health can be caused by factors like a poor diet, stress, lack of sleep, certain medications, and environmental toxins.
Poor gut health can also be caused by chronic infections, autoimmune disorders, and genetic predisposition.
A diet high in processed and refined foods, low in fiber and nutrients, can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria and contribute to poor gut health.
Stress can also have a negative impact on gut health by affecting the immune system and altering the composition of gut bacteria.
Certain medications like antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and acid-blocking drugs can disrupt the gut microbiome and lead to gut dysbiosis.
Finally, exposure to environmental toxins like pesticides, pollutants, and heavy metals can also contribute to poor gut health.
