When we talk about gut health, it is not just about our stomach but it actually starts from the mouth and ends at the anus -- from what you eat to what you excrete. Talking about excretion, it is essential that you have healthy bowel movements, which means that you are able to easily evacuate your bowels every morning.
If you have watched the Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone-starrer ‘Piku’, you will be able to understand the agony and the desperation one can get to have a peaceful and healthy bowel movement. While the film focused on the case of an aged man, several people, including teenagers and young adults are suffering from intestinal disorders such as Irritable bowel syndrome, which is often due to an unhealthy lifestyle revolving around junk food, sitting all day and not being aware enough of one’s body.
