Stress and Digestive Health
Understanding the Gut-Stress Connection
Stress can interfere with digestion, causing symptoms like bloating, stomach pain, or even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In the U.S., many individuals experience stress-induced digestive problems, as the gut is highly sensitive to emotional triggers.
To manage digestive issues, incorporating a high-fiber diet, staying hydrated, and practicing stress management techniques such as yoga or meditation are essential. A calm mind leads to a healthier gut.
