Gut health
Meaning: The balance and function of microorganisms in the digestive tract.
The gut microbiome became the biggest health trend of the 2020s. Probiotics, fermented foods, kombucha, and 'listening to your gut' are all part of the conversation. Science supports the gut-brain connection, but many products making gut health claims are marketing.
Examples
- I started taking probiotics for my gut health. 我开始吃益生菌来改善肠道健康。Empecé a tomar probióticos para mi salud intestinal.腸内環境のためにプロバイオティクスを飲み始めたんだ。장 건강을 위해 프로바이오틱스를 먹기 시작했어.
