Like most body systems, GI health is greatly affected by lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and sleep. Over time, these choices can harm the core functions of the GI system and promote the development of disease.

The GI tract’s main role of digesting and breaking down food is just one part of a much larger function it serves in overall health and disease prevention. The GI tract also acts as a barrier to protect your body from external threats, supports a smart and tolerant immune system, removes waste, and maintains a healthy connection with your brain.

Necessary for optimal health, cholesterol is a fatty, waxy substance that is especially important for brain function. Even though the brain accounts for only about 2% of your total body weight, it contains 20-25% of the cholesterol in your body.

Cholesterol performs three primary functions in the body:
✔ It makes up the outer coating of cells.
✔ It is used in the production of vitamin D and other hormones such as estrogen and testosterone
✔ It makes up bile acids to digest food.

Did you know that a simple way to improve your digestion is to spend more time with your food?

✔ Prepare your own meals whenever possible. Digestion begins when you first see and smell food. Saliva and gastric juices begin while preparing a meal, well before the first bite.

✔ Be sure to chew your food thoroughly. Smaller food particles allow for more interaction with salivary enzymes, which improves the digestion process.

✔ Relax and be intentional while eating. Reduce the number of times you eat while driving, working, watching TV, surfing on your phone, etc.

✔ In most cultures, eating with others is a regular and essential social event. This slows the eating process and increases the enjoyment of food.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is when the force of blood flowing through your blood vessels is consistently high.

Although many people think of it as a disease, hypertension is your body's response to a stimulus that causes the blood vessels to constrict. In other words, high blood pressure is an effect, not a disease.

High blood pressure often has no symptoms, yet it still increases your risk for serious health problems. Many factors can affect your risk—some are unavoidable, like age, race, or genetics—while most can be reduced or avoided through healthy lifestyle choices.
