Boost Your Health with Balanced Nutrition and Essential Supplements
Enhance your digestive system with balanced nutrition and key supplements for a healthier lifestyle.
This July, as we celebrate Nutrition Month, it’s the perfect time to focus on the importance of digestive wellness and proper nutrition. Good digestive health is essential for overall well-being, starting with what we choose to nourish our bodies. However, in our busy lives, achieving the ideal balance of nutrients from food alone can be challenging.
The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2022 report by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) highlights the difficulties people face in accessing a healthy diet. In 2020, approximately 3 billion people worldwide did not follow a healthy and nutritious diet.
In the Philippines, many adults do not meet the recommended daily intake of essential nutrients. the World Bank report on undernutrition in the Philippines and research published in the Nutrition Journal indicate significant nutrient intake gaps among the population, contributing to increased risks of diseases like hypertension and diabetes.
The Role of Digestive Wellness
Digestive wellness goes beyond avoiding discomfort after meals—it’s the key to unlocking the goodness in your food. A well-functioning digestive system efficiently breaks down food, allowing your body to absorb vital nutrients that power your energy, immunity, and mental well-being. A poor digestive system can leave you feeling like you’re putting in the effort but not getting the results, as even the most nutritious meals may not be fully utilized if your body struggles to absorb them.
Fuel Your Body Right
Nutrition plays a pivotal role in supporting digestive health. Eating a well-balanced diet rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals keeps your digestive tract running smoothly. Think of your body as a car: without the right fuel, it won’t run efficiently. The same goes for your digestive system—it needs the right nutrients to keep you going strong.
However, despite our best efforts, many diets often fall short. This is where specific supplements come into play. They bridge the nutritional gaps, ensuring our bodies get what they need to function optimally. A report by Vero and Decision Lab shows that at least 70% of Millennials and 60% of Gen Z take vitamins and supplements regularly, with 75.5% of Gen Z and 85% of Millennials using supplements to boost immunity.
Supplements: Your Digestive Health Allies
While we should aim to get most of our nutrients from food, the reality is that it’s not always possible. Busy schedules, processed and fatty foods, and certain cooking methods can reduce the nutrient content of our meals. This is why supplements are important to help fill nutritional gaps and maintain digestive health.
For instance, digestive enzyme supplements can help break down food more effectively, making it easier for your body to absorb nutrients. Similarly, probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria to your gut, supporting a healthy microbiome and improving digestion.
Embrace the Benefits of Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics
Digestive enzymes and probiotics are essential for better digestive health. LAC GastroRx Digest Enzymes, a plant-based formula rich in enzymes from fermented fruit and vegetable extracts, enhances nutrient absorption and supports healthy digestion. These enzymes improve the release of macro and micro-nutrients from food and come in convenient powdered sticks form.
Additionally, LAC Probiotics Complex 25B CFUs capsules, containing ingredients like Lactobacillus Casei, Lactobacillus Paracasei, Lactobacillus Crispatus, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, Lactobacillus Fermentum, and Lactobacillus Acidophilus, help fight harmful bacteria, reduce food intolerance, promote nutrient absorption, gastrointestinal health, and boost immunity.
By maintaining proper nutrition and incorporating these supplements, we can achieve peak digestive health even amidst our hectic lifestyles. Remember, a healthy gut means a happier you—let’s make digestive wellness a priority this Nutrition Month and beyond.
