10 Tips to Improve and Maintain Small Intestine Health

Eat whole foods

Whole foods are minimally processed and they have nutritional value. Studies have linked them to various health benefits. Unlike Whole Foods, highly processed foods usually contain high levels of refined carbs, food additives, and saturated fat. Studies show that people who consume processed foods regularly are more likely to have digestive disorders. Food additives such as salt, glucose, and other chemicals can lead to gut inflammation, which may reduce the barrier effects of the small intestine and increase gut permeability. Increased gut permeability is linked to a wide range of medical conditions.
