JAKARTA - Ethical health often escapes attention, even though its role is very important in maintaining a complete body balance. When the gut condition begins to decline, the body will signal through various symptoms that should not be ignored.

Starting from digestive complaints to skin disorders, these signs can be a warning that your digestive system is not doing well.

According to Dr. Alok Chopra, a cardiologist who also focuses on treating cardiovascular-metabolic and diabetes diseases, the gut is no longer considered a "second brain". "Now our intestines are the main brain."

"The brain in the head only follows the direction determined by the condition of the intestines," he said, as quoted by the Hindustan Times.

Here are some general symptoms that can indicate your gut health is starting to decline:

Feeling reluctant or uncomfortable every time you eat it can be a sign that your intestines are not working optimally. This can be caused by the imbalance of the microbiota or lack of digestive enzymes that function to break up food properly. If this condition continues, the body will find it difficult to absorb important nutrients.

Unhealthy use can cause impaired nutrition absorption, which leads to chronic fatigue and fog brain'' or blurred thoughts. Inflammatory in digestive channels can also affect brain function and mood, because the connection between the gut and the brain is very strong.

If you often feel like eating sweets or unhealthy snacks, this could not be just a matter of habit, but because the gut bacteria are unbalanced. Bad bacteria in the intestines can affect the signal to the brain, making you tend to choose sugar-high foods to "enrich" their needs.

Problems in skin conditions such as severe acne, eczema, or rashes can come from the intestines. Dr. Chopra said that the imbalance of microorganisms in the intestines is called a dysbiosis and conditions such as leaky leaky lebus can trigger an inflammatory response seen in the skin.

Often sick, easily exposed to flu, or having allergies that do not go away? This could be a sign that your immune system is disturbed due to an unhealthy intestine. About 70 percent of the body's immune cells are in the digestive tract, so that when the intestine is problematic, the immune system is also affected.
