The connection between gut health and immunity has become increasingly clear in recent years. Your gut microbiome, the trillions of bacteria that live in your digestive tract, plays a crucial role in training and regulating your immune system.
A healthy gut microbiome helps your body distinguish between harmful pathogens and beneficial or harmless substances. When your gut microbiome is imbalanced, a condition known as dysbiosis, your immune system may not function optimally, potentially leading to increased susceptibility to infections or autoimmune issues.
