So You Want to Know about Gut Health

Bloating, food allergies, constipation or even anxiety… just about any symptom could be a sign that your body might be in need of some gut healing action right now!

Why your gut needs care?

Since ancient times, people have been aware of the importance of gut health for the human body. According to the revolutionary Greek physician Hippocrates, all disease begins in the gut. Now we all know that the systems in our bodies are interconnected. However, what we sometimes neglect to think about is at the centre of a well- functioning organism is a healthy gut.

More than 70% of our immune system is located in the gut and the bacteria there consistently fulfil many vital functions. Therefore digestive imbalances are closely linked tochronic mental and physical diseases.

What are the obvious signs that you should begin to learn about gut healing?

Gut imbalances can cause much more than just digestive symptoms such as stomach ache, bloating or diarrhoea. They are often the root cause of much more serious problems.

These could be autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, diabetes and chronic fatigue. Even mental health issues such as anxiety and depression as well as ADHD and autism can also be associated with gut issues. When suffering from unhealthy gut, you can also find yourself suffering from eczema, rosacea or other skin conditions.

That is why you should pay attention to your gut condition, regardless that your symptoms look seemingly unrelated.

The gut is the gateway to health, so healing your gut right now could mean preventing many diseases in the future!

Bone broth can help heal your gut

It has taken us generations to rediscover that we can heal through food.

At Ossa Organic we believe in Tradition, not Trend because everything we eat has the power to nourish and repair our bodies. Nutritious food encourages harmony and health.

We know that many elements of disease and inflammation in the body can be treated with food that heals and seals the gut lining, namely bone broth and fermented foods.

Studies show that the regular consumption of bone broth can help people with chronic digestive issues, such as a leaky gut syndrome and IBS, improve their condition. The bone broth promotes internal healing as well as regulates bowel movement. Full of collagen and gelatine, it acts as a broom for the digestive system.

Bone Broth also contains healing and connective-tissue-building compounds such as collagen and amino acids and its gelatine content is scientifically proven to repair the gut lining.

Cate Shanahan, Los Angeles Lakers nutrition consultant also recommends the regular intake of bone broth. Shanahan shares our views that eating traditional natural foods can lead to a healthier life.. She says that “it promotes digestive health and is ideal for building up connective tissues.That is because it has amino acids, but also glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans”.

We have also personally experienced the incredible ability of bone broth to reduce gut inflammation and help prevent many of the associated ailments. That is why all our products have a gut healing angle and are gentle on digestion, promoting gut health.

Our homemade and nutrient rich Ossa Organic's The Bone Broth can serve as a perfect base from which you can build a diet that encourages gut healing and restoration.
