For a healthier gut

A QUOTE by the Father of Modern Medicine, Hippocrates, “All disease begins in the gut” still holds true today. Our gut plays a vital role in our health, particularly in bowel function, digestion, immunity and many other aspects of health.

Unfortunately, many people tend to neglect their gut health until they repeatedly experience gastrointestinal problems such as constipation.

Constipation affects nearly a quarter of the population in the world due to low fibre intake and poor lifestyle.

Most individuals resort to laxatives as a quick fix for bowel irregularity. However, long-term use often results in decreased bowel function, also known as “lazy gut syndrome” and may lead to laxative dependency.

Therefore, prolonged laxative use is highly discouraged and should be replaced with natural food remedies that combine dietary fibres and probiotics for the maintenance of a good gut health.
