Support for a Healthy Digestive System
Distributed Through Health Care Professionals
Informed guidance and individualized recommendations from a health care professional are vital to the
optimal use of nutritional and herbal supplements.
Digestion is a key element in overall wellness.
Many of your patients think digestion is just
about what they eat or any issues they might
have, like bloating or occasional heartburn. You
can help by explaining how over 70 percent of
the immune system is in the digestive tract and
how a healthy gut supports so many other
areas in the body.

Asking your patients to complete a food diary for your review is an excellent
way to understand how their meals are affecting their digestion. You can
make food suggestions and record notes on the results. Keeping a food
diary is also a good habit to help patients track problematic foods or
monitor weight loss.

Diet and exercise habits are key to
digestive health, but stress is often
overlooked. Digestion requires a large
amount of blood flow to the stomach
and intestines. Stress can cause a
fight-or-flight response that shifts blood
flow away from the gut. Then muscles
get tense and there is an increase in
heart rate, which creates an increase in
the oxygen demand for active muscles.
All of this slows digestion and interrupts
the natural flow in the body. Our culture
lends itself to stressful, rushed lifestyles.
Help your patients recognize how this
can affect digestion, and recommend
ways to relax and incorporate stressreleasing activities.

Check Exercise and Hydration
Review exercise habits and water intake with patients.
Sufficient exercise and drinking enough fluids can help
with issues like occasional constipation. Aerobic
GF Gluten-free
exercise stimulates the natural contraction of intestinal
muscles and, along with fluids, helps food move
through intestines more regularly.
