The stomach is one of the most complex organs in the human body because certain processes like temporary food storage, digestion, and absorption takes place in it.
It is important to take good care of our stomach because doing so tends to improve our health, while failure to do so could result in multiplication of harmful microorganisms in our digestive tract, thus leading to ill health. In this article, I will be showing you some signs that indicate your gut is dirty and natural ways to cleanse it.
1. Stomach Upset.
Our body has a way of communicating to us about its condition. If you experience constant bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea and heartburn, it may be a sign that your stomach is dirty. Because a dirty stomach usually experiences difficulty in waste removal and food processing.
2. Unintentional Weight Changes.
Weight gain and weight loss occurs as a result of increased or reduced food intake, especially high-calorie foods. An unhealthy stomach can affect the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, regulate blood sugar and store fat, which could lead to weight changes.
3. Skin Irritation.
This is another sign of a dirty stomach. Stomach infections caused by poor diet or food allergies may cause certain proteins to discharge into the body, this in turn causes skin problems like eczema.
4. Sleep Disturbances.
You will agree with me how difficult it is to sleep if you have an upset stomach. This is because most of the body’s serotonin (a hormone that helps to improve mood and sleep) is produced in the gut, which means that stomach issues tend to affect your sleep.
5. Food Intolerance.
This is caused by difficulty in digesting certain foods in the stomach. Those who suffer from food intolerance usually experiences negative reactions when they eat a particular type of food. Although food allergy is natural in most people, but in some cases, it can be a symptom of a dirty stomach.
