the digestive System

Your digestive system is a place where sneaky inflammation loves to hide. From burps to reflux to bloating, inflammation may be at the root of what many consider routine discomfort. Chronic inflammation of the intestines can lead to loads of disorders such as IBS, Crohn’s, leaky gut and more [3] [4]. And as we learned in the previous section, gut inflammation rarely remains localized. This may be why most people with chronic diseases also suffer from gut inflammation.

Even Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said that “all diseases begin in the gut.” And that was 2400 years ago! The most important nutrients for combating hidden gut inflammation are vitamin D, omega-3s, and antioxidants like curcumin. Americans don’t get enough of ANY of these nutrients, so consider adding a supplement to your diet if your tummy ever feels rumbly.
